Horsing Around For Charity

Looking for a fun outing for Dad on Father's Day?? Take him to Serendipity's Horsing Around For Charity. A great event at the Greenwich Polo Club featuring one of our favorites, Preppy Pig BBQ from Newport RI! Also enjoy music from The Short Bus - an awesome rock and roll cover band and winner of Best of the Gold Coast for the last 3 years. What dad wouldn't love beer, BBQ and rock and roll? And the best part is there will be plenty of activities to occupy the kids as well as shopping for mom. Advance tickets are $40 - $45 at the door (children 12 and under free) and all proceeds benefit Pegasus Therapeutic Riding, a fabulous local charity. Make sure dad wears his crazy pants!

Lands End Linens

I recently signed up to receive blog posts from a fun site - design serendipity. They mostly blog about interior decorating, design and projects they're working on. But sometimes they just blog about fun tidbits and that's how I learned about the great new linens line from Lands End (I'm sure you're all going huh??). But it's true, they launched a new line Tailored Hotel Collection and it is darling! Totally Matouk in inspiration but Lands End in prices.

Embroidered Rope Duvet Cover and Sham $25-$160

Embroidered Dot Duvet Cover and Sham $25-$160

Also available in Sheet Sets and Pillowcases from $30-$60.

Styles can be monogrammed for an additional $6 and they will send you a free swatch of the fabric before you place your order! And all orders over $50 receive free shipping. 

I also adore this Embroidered Rope Shower Curtain for $60. I'd have a big monogram or 'Beach House' embroidered on the center. 

Visit Lands End to view the entire collection!
