Spring Awakening

Spring makes me want to fling open every door and window to let the fresh air inside.  It makes me want to bring the outdoors in and buy flowers everyday.  Most of all, it makes me want to be outside as much as possible.  Well, except when it's cold and rainy like today but I'll definitely be out again tomorrow.  Happy Spring!

Stella McCartney's Weekend Retreat

I think they key to a successful career in a creative field is having a place to get away from it all on the weekends.  Stella McCartney's gardens at the home she shares with her family in the British countryside look like the perfect place to recharge your batteries.  They created all the gardens from scratch but they feel like they have been there forever.  The colors of the flowers have even inspired her fashion collections.  They are inspiring me to go take a walk in Central Park.  Bon Weekend!
