{a few of my favorite things}

One of my friends once told me, life is way too short to not appreciate the little things that make you happy. Since our wedding this May, I have had the opportunity to experience something I have never enjoyed before... the luxury of free time to explore my interests and make life just a little more wonderful! Here are a few of my favorite things...

kate spade i-phone case
available at katespade.com
$40



I have never been big in technology, hence, I just purchased my first iphone four years after their introduction to the market. It's not that I don't think they are amazing, I just think its so sad when people are at dinner together and everyone at the table is playing on their phones. Well, when I walked in the apple store, it was my turn for someone to feel sorry for me... the customer service rep actually apologized to me saying she was "so sorry I have had to use a BlackBerry for so long." I did love my Blackberry, but they only made these adorable kate spade phone cases for the iphone, so I upgraded and life has been very colorful ever since! If you have a basic phone cover case, I recommend this one. It will bring a smile to your face every time you see it!

Set in the mysteriously charming island of Nantucket, Summer People explores the lives of a Manhattan family after tragedy strikes their world. It explores the complexities of love, anger, resentment and the longing each of us have to make sense of our current reality. This is a great book to prolong the last days of summer.
