see the wonder this fall

Last weekend I celebrated Fall on Spring. I waited in line on Spring Street outside the green lacquered doors before entering the wonder world. C. Wonder opened its doors to an eager audience of prepsters and hipsters, celebs and paparazzi, uptowners, downtowners, out-of-towners. Together they stepped inside the lifestyle brand flagship store to a sea of goodies. Where else can you get a pink bike after shopping at the jewelry bar before monogramming a cashmere throw for your mother-in-law and spotting a Henley striped shirt for yourself? What I was most interested in was the home section in the back with everything from glasses to picture frames. Go C. for yourself.

thirty two

They met on a blind date. She was running late. He was thinking about the work on his desk. She wore a dress. He wore a suit. They met for dinner. Her blue eyes sparkled and his brown eyes smiled. Thirty two years later, he pulls her chair out at the table before she sits down. She leaves him a note before he leaves for a trip. They still dance among the stars, disagree while supporting each other, and hold hands driving to dinner. Thirty two years of sharing life and love. Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad.
