Peach in the City

When You're 21...

In the city for interviews; enjoy a little eye candy while I'm away. XO.

Gonna dress you up in my love

I’m working at an upscale department store over break and have a lot of time on my hands to peruse the racks and assemble fun outfits.  The resort pieces are starting to come in, and I’ve finally found the perfect white shirt!  It’s a combination of a super soft ribbed tank and cotton button-down.  My new uniform for Spring: crisp white button-down, jeans, and chic little flats.  A fabulous little extra: a Mignon Faget cuff.

Peach Dreams...

I recently popped by a new boutique launched by a legendary upscale department store and learned that the only form of advertising the “cool and edgy” (EEK!) concept store employs is its pathetic attempt at a blog, infused with pop-culture rubbish about Britney’s latest hair color and Beyonce’s new single.While sneaking in a disco nap earlier today, I had a bizarre dream in which I was interviewing for a position at said department store. After being turned down, I lost my “cool as a fan” mentality and screeched, “how dare you turn me down for the job, your blog sucks!”

Needless to say, all ended well and I had quite the realization: Peach is back, baby!

Aye, Candy!

Well, almost – what could be more fun that a devilishly sweet breakfast cereal?  Oh, perhaps Johnny Depp’s beautiful face gracing the front of the box!  The new Pirates of the Caribbean cereal is a delicious combination of Lucky Charms and Cocoa Puffs.  What a magnificent way to start the day! I’m eagerly awaiting the sequel, which sails into theaters July 7th

Thirsty

I know it’s still early in the week, but Tuesday seems to be the new Thursday.  With temperatures soaring above 80 degrees, it’s time to break out the bubbly!  Hit the town or hold your very own “Welcome to July” party and serve up some refreshing Champagne Punch.  Raise your glasses and kick July off on a high note! 

Mother Wanted Me to Wear a Kimono!

I just scored a Calvin Klein safari jacket on super sale at Nordstrom – c’est tres chic.  At first I wasn’t sure what to pair it with, but then I realized all I need now is a blue washcloth for a headband – so very Little Edie!

Peach at the Beach

I just returned from an extended vacation at the shore and realized a Peach post is far overdue! After spending all day on the sand and all evening at fun restaurants like Mickey’s Crab House and Big Peckers, I couldn’t wait to indulge my sweet tooth with delectable treats from Candy Kitchen! As with all vacations, I was on the look-out for unique jewelry – my favorite picks: an awesome set of large, lacquered bangles and a gorgeous necklace with orzo-like beads.

Thirsty

Baby, it’s cold outside.  Grab your mittens  (pictured, Burberry Shearling @ Neiman Marcus) and head on out!  In honor of this glorious weekend that seems to be slipping by ever so quickly, I decided to let you in on a little secret, the "Damn-the-Snow" – this delicious concoction even has a little o.j. to help keep those winter sniffles away!

Oh Edie! It's the perfect costume for the day!

As I sit here watching Grey Gardens for the millionth time, I ponder what life would be like in a world where feeding wild raccoons Wonderbread while wearing a mink is totally the norm.  I just can’t get enough Little Edie.  For those of you who share this admiration for the “fashion icon and philosopher queen,” check out the musical now showing in NYC!
