This week I'll be...

Giving my enormous dresser - which I found on the sidewalk - a makeover. Transforming it (hopefully!) from its muddied shade of yellow to a distressed, glorious shabby white. I'll be following this excellent how-to.

Stockpiling the perfect white summer T.

Kicking back with a picnic at this Monday's free screening of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in Bryant Park.

Booking a bargain break with www.jetsetter.com. Doubles at Chebeague Inn, which sits on a manicured bluff in Casco Bay, start at just $135. Sand-in-my-toes here I come!
