ensemble...

Scott and I signed the lease on our new apartment today and I'm so excited to call Central Park my neighbor! I didn't want to jinx things til it was officially inked on the dotted line, but I'm so smitten with our cute little place. It's a few short tree-lined blocks from the Met and the toy boat pond (two of my absolute favorite places since childhood!), and all the shops and eateries you could want. I'm already daydreaming of peddling my bike around the park in the fall and popping over for lunchtime picnics with Zelda... figured this colorful ensemble would do the trick :)

I grew up in Manhattan, going to school in Greenwich Village, and have lived in various spots on the west side as well as on the lower east side, but never uptown. So... if you're a local I'd love to hear tips and recommendations! I'm so excited to explore my new neighborhood in my old city. xo

Just popping in to say hello – I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I headed upstate to the Adirondacks for the fourth – we played badminton, croquet and bbq'd... it was a nice little break from the Philly heat. Also, as you may have seen, we launched the July Issue of Matchbook Magazine – a perfect beach read for your iPad :)

PS. You can catch behind the scenes shots from all that and more by following me @jane_lilly on instagram if you wish.

PPS. I know it's been quiet over here lately, I'll work on that. Promise. And I'm going to need your help decorating our new apartment later this summer – can't wait to share my ideas with you!
