EGG

This was one of those stores in which I sweat, and fret 

over being too nervous to take  ask to take pictures*. 

Entering Egg, Maureen Douherty's (of Issey Miyake fame) shop in the Knightsbridge area of London, 

you immediately want to live the minimalist, quality driven lifestyle they convey (and sell).

 Within seconds I was worshipping the most beautiful and SIMPLE linen garments, woven scarves, basic white button downs and wanted it all. 300 pounds for a white shirt? No problem! (Who am I?!)

Everything from the the way the items are displayed by color and style on the walls and tables, the small staircase leading to more treasures upstairs, to the laid back manor of cute shopgirls; 

Egg is a place you don't want to leave.

In Love with Maine

Our first summer in Maine was a disaster. We were 2 years old. Sara was sick and our parents found Karen hiding in the fireplace. Fortunately, they didn't give up on making this our summer destination. For the next 14+ years, we would spend weeks on Fortunes Rocks Beach boogie boarding, making sand dripping castles, seed bead and fimo jewelry, eating our grandma's delicious sandwiches, and watching rented movies at night. Going back as adults is a bit different, but nostalgia at its best.

Thanks Aunt Shelley for letting us enjoy your summer home for the past several years. We love you!
