Apple Picking!

Tomorrow I'm taking a much-needed break from the city and heading off to Stone Ridge Orchard to do some apple picking. 

 I'm imagining the perfect rustic-cute outfit for the day.  In my fantasy land I'd have a fabulous Hermes scarf to wrap around my head a la Jackie O. 

But in the spirit of being outdoorsy and in the spirit of not spending money I don't have, that will have to wait.

The perfect slouchy, casual plaid shirt.  It's just made for layering.

Slightly worn-looking straight leg jeans.  No need for anything fussy.

I love, love having a chunky scarf with me at all times.

A classic boot in a classic color for tromping through the mud.

Klein bags are amazing.  They're actual tool bags so they're incredibly hard-wearing and really affordable.  Plus, the camo is rather cheeky I think.

Yachts

On my recent vacation, the hubby and I took a cruise along the Dalmatian Coast - stopping in Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Montenegro and Slovenia.  The cruise was lovely, but the ship left quite a bit to be desired (I believe they told us it was a refurbished 1965 Soviet vessel...you get the idea).  So we decided one day we'll just have to charter our own private yacht (fingers crossed), and hopefully it will look something like these gems: 

So futuristic and modern-not a stitch of nautical kitsch here.

An amazing soaker.

Love all of the built-ins and the refined wood (none of that dark-stained bad-pub oak stuff).

I usually don't like modern, but if you have a high-tech, sleek yacht, it would be kind of odd to fill it with eclectic fluffy furniture, no?  This clean room manages to fit the bill without feeling too cold.

The perfect pop of color in an otherwise bland room.

I'll take the Lichtensteins on the wall, please.

Just imagine taking a bath here, overlooking the ocean. Sigh.
