Love Is Blindness

 The Great Gatsby, along with the entirety of this past weekend, were more than I could have hoped for. While there were no parties on sprawling lawns, there were oysters and crab legs, and afternoons by the pool, and just enough of a hint of summer to make it all seem magical. And now I can't wait for a repeat, with that special someone that made it all happen. How was your weekend? I'd love to hear about it in the comments! If you haven't had the chance yet, go see The Great Gatsby. There's a good shot you'll love it.

The Great Gatsby

"And I like large parties. They're so intimate. At small parties there isn't any privacy." --F. Scott Fitzgerald

Have a fabulous weekend, with large parties on sprawling laws, or at least the premier of The Great Gatsby. I'll be wearing my favorite headpiece, because dressing like a flapper is half the fun!

Coffee Break

Next time you're shopping, pick up a latte at Nordstrom's Ebar. They're amazing. Also, the soundtrack to The Great Gatsby was released yesterday, and will be on repeat on my ipod for the foreseeable future. Download it here. It's so so good.

A Collaboration

As a Gatsby fan forever, and generally obsessed with all things Fitzgerald, naturally my blog name is an allusion to that mythical summer as experienced by Nick Carraway. To say I am excited about the upcoming movie release would be an understatement. Check out the trailer.

My good friend Brent, creator of the beautiful less-is-more banner now gracing the blog, whipped this up in his spare time, and I couldn't be more grateful. I love it! This is the first of many collaborations with his talented mind.

Thanks again, Brent!
