Summertime in Pictures

Montauk's Latest Hotel

From the same people who brought The Surf Lodge to Montauk, King and Grove’s latest venture is open for business this summer. Ruschmeyers plays up the nostalgia factor with a summer camp theme that doesn’t feel too kitschy.

There are 19 rooms, all with wicker-threaded headboards, curtains strung like sails, hammock-like hanging chairs, gold light fixtures and Frette linens. Their restaurant has seasonal produce and seafood from the guys behind New York’s Fat Radish. And there’s that teepee on the front lawn!

I really love the aesthetics of this place.. and that general store looks amazing! I need that canvas bag. Read more here.

Ready for Summer

My skin is sun-kissed from the past couple of weekend's amazing 80 degree weather and laying out by the pool. It's finally starting to feel like spring here in L.A. and I'm loving every minute of it! Before I moved here, one of my favorite parts of a New York City summer was the plethora of ice cream trucks that swarm the streets, and there were never a shortage of lime popsicles (specifically the Van Leeuwen truck that parked outside of The Standard Biergarten).

So, I suppose making your own is the next best thing. These pop-makers from Zoku are adorable, and freeze in as little as 7-10 minutes. Whether it's a refreshment from the hot sun or a hangover from those dark and stormies, these will surely do the trick. Purchase at Williams-Sonoma here.
