Summer is coming, though you wouldn't know it with the chilling weather we've been having here in New York.  Like most people, I have been trying to get my body Summer ready.  Not fun! I'm not really one for going to the gym, though I have started to like Pilates (that's for another post).  

So in lieu  of working out, I have been trying to watch what I eat.  I don't have a sweet tooth, but I am guilty of snacking throughout the day.  'Healthy' snacks are just not that fun- until I found seaweed snacks!

I know what you're thinking, Seaweed? Yes seaweed! 

Seaweed is actually quite good for you, it contains high levels of vitamins A and C, and is also a good source of calcium.  Seaweed is naturally vegan, and its best-known benefit is that it is an extraordinary source of a nutrient missing in almost every other food: iodine.


I tried the Kirkland Signature Organic Roasted Seaweed – made from Winter Harvest seaweeds from South Korea.





Certified organic by QAI, a USDA-accredited certifying agency, they contain Organic Seaweed, Organic Canola Oil, and Sea Salt.  They have no preservatives, artificial colors or flavors, and No MSG added. 

Above all that, they taste delicious! 


Worst thing that could happen is that you can eat a whole pack in one sitting.

                                                      





I have long been on the hunt for the perfect camouflage jacket.  One that didn't look like an old service uniform hand-me-down, or a 'femme'd' out watered down copy.  It had to be just the right amount of military inspired, yet chic enough to be worn with my favorite slip dress. 

I searched thrift stores and Salvation Armies.  I was prepared to buy one that I sorta liked and DIY it to death. 

My Spring/Summer staple jacket dreams were finally answered.       



The military style camo shirt jacket by Coffee Shop was perfect!  Made of a soft cotton, with just the right amount of distress to give it that comfy broken in feel, but still fresh and current.  

Camo never goes out of style, and if done right, can be worn with anything from track pants to a ball skirt. 

Later, I added a heel and turned my street style look from day to night.


  

This jacket will definitely be a staple in my closet on stay on heavy rotation

Over the weekend, equestrian fans  headed to Warrenton. Virginia for the 2016 Virginia Gold Cup. 



For the 91st Running of the Gold Cup, the theme was "Then and Now".  



An honored tradition of the Cup is tailgating!  

Participates come dressed to the nines, and of course, wearing unique and grand hats.    This was my first time, and the event did not disappoint.  Arrive early to secure a good spot!  









See you next year! 















History of the Virginia Gold Cup 
On April 3, 1922, eight sportsmen met at the Fauquier Club in Warrenton and decided to organize a four-mile race between flags over the natural walls and fences of the nearby hunting countryside.  Pledging $1,000 to purchase a trophy for the winning owner, they ruled that it be kept permanently by the first owner to win the race three times, not necessarily in consecutive years nor with the same horse.  Just 34 days later, they held the first Virginia Gold Cup race.  From its beginning, the race was intended to be a national event drawing “the best hunters in America.”  Unlike today’s seven-race card, that first Virginia Gold Cup was a single-race event, riders to be “gentlemen wearing racing colors or officers of the U.S. Army in uniform.”  Nine horses competed that May at Oakwood, the great estate on Waterloo Road near Warrenton overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains and once owned by President Lincoln’s personal physician, Dr. Robert King Stone.
