What are you doing for Labor Day weekend? If you can't get away to Maine, Martha's Vineyard or the Hamptons.....why not have a Clambake at home? This looks yummy at Dean & Deluca.

What to shop this weekend: The Furniture and Mattress Sale at Bloomingdale's.  Save up to 55%. Also, the Tent Sale at Serena & Lily is still going on. Fabulous finds and amazing prices for every room in your home including the nursery. Both sales end this weekend.

Their tag line is "You buy a tee, we plant a tree." Love it!

Mollie & I did a little retail therapy this week, and bought this lovely leather Pencil Pouch at Anthropologie. It features a tassel and French idioms. I would use it for cash and lipgloss. Adorable for less than $30.

Foodie Friday: When Life Gives You Lemons......

( Via Inslee Designs )

I swear, I could squeeze a lemon on anything.  Have you ever grilled or heated up a lemon? This is a must try. The heat renders more juice than you thought possible. My inspiration today comes from the lemons handed to someone special to me. I just want this person to know what tasty goodness can come from this sweet but sour fruit. Cheers to all of you out there who are having a difficult day.

Game For Gold

( Via Megan Hess )

I feel as if I have been dreaming in gold this week, after watching all of the Olympic games. In truth, gold is one of my very favorite colors. My home is sprinkled with gold accents, I used some gold "dust" on my shoulders today, and wore my gold glitter Toms. Gold is so glam, even when used casually. I just can't resist anything that sparkles. If you are game for gold like myself, this shiny selection of home decor, jewelry, fancy footwear and more is a winner.
