d*s road trip 2008

dsc06838.jpg
last thursday our interns, christy and lesley, hopped in a zipcar with me and we headed to the hamptons for a quick two day work trip. i’ve wanted to film a little “webisode” for d*s for some time and we finally bit the bullet and decided to film some shop tours, a garden tour and an interview with a local designer. in addition, we’re building our d*s hampton guide and working on building a slideshow of some of the incredible furniture we saw. but before that’s all live i wanted to share a few of my favorite shots from last week- despite the torrential rain on thursday we had a great trip and can’t wait to share the roadtrip with you in a few weeks. [image above: beautiful yellow glasses at ruby beets. these were the one thing i wish i’d bought when i was there. they’re so lovely]

[image above: ok, i lied- there was another piece i wish i’d taken home. this milk glass pendant lamp from india was for sale at jed. it outside of my price range or it would have been riding home in the trunk with me- i’m obsessed with milk glass right now.]

[image above: i’m home! well, not really. this was one of the beautiful homes where we were fortunate enough to shoot an interview. can’t you imagine driving up to this every day? and having a glass of tea in those gorgeous yellow chairs on the back porch?]

Is this Ina Garten’s house? Looks an awful lot like it!
