This weekend in DC the Smithsonian is hosting its 44th Annual Kite Festival. I’ve never been before, but I think it’s going to be sort of magical seeing all the kites/colors in the air. Last night I purchased a kite of my own for the event. AND I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures. Find out the details for the event here.

I had to post these beautiful window displays from ginger in downtown Bethesda. What a fabulous way to display new spring clothes! My pictures really don’t do them justice.
Just received my copy of Like I Give a Frock in the mail so that I can participate in Mrs. Lilien’s book club. I scanned through it quickly and it looks like it has some great illustrations. Yay for new inspiration! Can’t wait to spend more time with it over the weekend. AND if you haven’t checked out Mrs. Lilien’s blog it’s quite fabulous—one of my new favorites because of her exquisite fashion sensibility.
Have a great weekend!
Recently this project has been getting a lot of press and rightly so…who wouldn’t love dogs dressed as Lady Gaga. Photographer Jesse Freidin was recently commissioned by the Impossible Project to photograph dogs in Lady Gaga costumes using 2 packs of Polaroid film. The series is very original and completely adorable. See all the doggie gaga here.

Yes, I found my dream house in Key West…isn’t it lovely? AND when I finally win the lottery this is what I’ll be buying, (a girl can dream right?) The house is better known as the “Calvin Klein house” because Calvin owned it in the 80s. I really don’t know much more about the house other than its octagon shaped and has gorgeous turquoise shutters and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, oh and did I mention that I want it! More info about this beauty here and here.

Another exhibit featured at the Key West Museum of Art & History was J. Seward Johnson’s exhibit “ICONS” which featured life-size sculptures of some of America’s most iconic moments in history, art and movies. There were sculptures surrounding the museum and then a small section inside the museum where I got to meet Mona Lisa, Marilyn Monroe, the American Gothic couple and the girl with the pearl earring. As you can see my sister and I had a lot fun to posing with the sculptures.
