Beach Trip with The {New New}

Summer is upon us and it's time to head out of your stuffy third floor apartment with no air conditioning and toward the beach. Here are some {New New} picks to enjoy while tripping for the day or overnight.


A lovely Swarovski crystal starfish necklace crafted by mulry jewels is the perfect thing to announce your beach intentions.


Some frocks and trousers soap by charlie and sarah would look right at home on the sand.


This cotton baby beach hat from NYCrochet will make protection from the sun adorable.


The argyle caps tote bag by bungaloe can be used for a day trip or take it for a quick overnight.


A soy travel candle by Dew On A Petal Home scented with lavender and basil is the perfect thing to set out on your beach house balcony while you enjoy the cool breeze.

A Mom's Picks From The SHC

More Mom card from warpedesign

Being the Mom of a large and very active family, I only have two days where I can be "Queen for the Day". One of them is Mother's Day. It is one of the only days where I get to do whatever I want, unencumbered by cooking, laundry, carpooling, homework monitoring, cleaning, or any of the other 1,001 daily Mom duties.

Though teenagers really will turn your hair gray, I still love nothing more than spending time with my family - the reason I am a mom. This year, my two daughters and I will be doing the bridge and tunnel hurdles to spend the afternoon shopping at the Spring Handmade Cavalcade at the Bell House, featuring many great vendors from the {NewNew}. Maybe a little birdie can drop off this Mother's Day wish list to my kids!

Some fashion and some bling...

If any of you see my sons or daughters, please send this little wish list birdie their way. And join these great vendors this weekend at the Spring Handmade Cavalcade at the Bell House, Gowanus, Brooklyn. Oh, and please remember your mother.
