Hi friends Happy July - I love July for many reasons… July 4th, my birthday and just feeling like we’re in full Summer Mode!

This week I want to wish you all a very Happy Independence Day and I hope you’ll celebrate the history of our great land with family and friends watching the sky light up. I have fond memories of walking to the High School to see the fireworks over the years: with Daddy, friends and of course with my husband and our son. This will be our 3rd year of being able to view them from the Chalet and I gotta say - I’m loving it!

I love the color combination of Red, White and Blue. My love of red goes back to childhood. My mom Rita used red in her decor choices for our Den and the Powder Room.

I took that red and it naturally morphed into a love of it with any shade of blue. When pressed I will admit Navy is my favorite hue. You can see it here in the design of my website and what I tend to wear most often.

This week I thought I’d share some pretty… Enjoy!

If you’re an Instagram friend you know I do a color-story post every Friday- I call it my #friendlyfriday round-up. Here are a few examples.

I love this image.

Til next time I’ll see you over on Instagram. Here are some more articles you may appreciate. Be well.

I gathered inspirational images for the summer I want to enjoy! I want to relish this time. It’s such a precious commodity.

Hoping this inspires you!

I’m excited to relax, read, have adventures, visit museums, travel, work with my own clients and for David Anthony & Company LLC.

We already started off with a graduation last week and our first of two birthday celebrations. Next it’ll be Fourth of July. Visits to the Frick Collection and The Metropolitan Museum of Art are on the calendar with at least one stop at Bemelmans Bar for a tipple! Trips to Baltimore, Philadelphia and Gettysburg are planned and we learned last summer a day trip to Ocean City, NJ is actually doable; so we’ll be heading down hopefully more than once. I recently took in a film with my sister at the Claridge Theater in Montclair, NJ and it was delightful. I plan on making this a regular thing. I love Montclair whether it’s shopping at Montclair Book Center or along Church Street, visiting the Montclair Art Museum, lunching at Raymond’s, dinner at Zeugma, or enjoying drinks at Alto Rooftop Bar with gorgeous views of NYC - it is truly as the townships tagline states: Where the suburb meets the city. We also have a full schedule of Hockey practices both on and off ice and this momma will be doing a lot of chauffeuring. Of course I hope to read/listen to a bunch of books and spend as much time as possible at the Swim Club!
