TRAVEL BOOKS : GYPSET TRAVEL

Saturday

Hello all! It's been 2 months to the day since I've been on the blog, but alas, here I am again, letting my fellow travel and design junkies know about a fantastic new book coming out next month. Following her best-selling 2009 title Gypset Style, which I raved about a while back, travel writer Julia Chaplin explores the little-known enclaves of gypsy jet-setters around the world. From the Aeolian Islands in Italy to Lamu, Kenya; North Goa, India; and José Ignacio, Uruguay—Gypset Travel delves into the glamorous yet casual lifestyle of these bohemian wanderers through intimate photography and first-person anecdotes. This book looks just as good as the first if not better with this gorgeous cover, can't wait to get my hands on it.

Pre-order Gypset Travel at almost half price (due Dec. 4), but take note! I don't think it will stay this cheap for long especially with the holidays coming and this making a great gift.

Jetsetter Weekend III : Indian Summer

Thursday

We came across these tee-pees during a morning walk along the lake and saw these little drums inside, so of course, we had to "play" them! Yes, very intense drumming session this was... We brought a whole new meaning to the term Indian Summer, lol.

Jetsetter Weekend II : Cycling to Town

Wednesday

Ok, you know there's no botox in THAT forehead (as I try to take foolish pics while riding my bike.) We cycled into the super cute town of Kent, Connecticut about 10 minutes away from the camp, any longer and my legs would have fallen off my body. (Yes, I'm that out of shape) It was a charming place lined with quaint little antique shops, old houses, and cafes. We stopped in a few places, chilled for a bit, and then got yelled at for taking photos with the vintage bicycle on the lawn.. haha, Oh well !

I loved this ornate wooden bench with carved details and drawers!!

Jetsetter Weekend I : Summer Camp in the Berkshires!

Tuesday

I never went to summer camp as a kid.. sucks, BUT I made up for lost time over the weekend!.. LoL .. I booked a Jetsetter deal for the Berkshire Mountains in Connecticut – Lakeside cabins, slip 'n slides, parties/dancing, wine tasting, food, fun, sun and not a child in sight. I played some football and toasted marshmallows & smores for the first time ever.. What can I say, this city girl doesn't go country very often, lol. The live rendition of Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl by the bonfire was such the icing on this All-American cake :-)

Gypset Style

Monday

A friend recently gave me a travel book of sorts called Gypset Style by Julia Chaplin who coined the term to describe "an international community of artists, designers, surfers, and bon vivants who live and work around the globe. The Gypset is about fusing the ease and carefree lifestyle of a Gypsy with the sophistication of the jet set." While it may simply look like a great coffee table book, it also serves as a remarkable reminder to live life freely, beautifully, and happily. You are the only person who can design your life to be what you want.

Pick up Gypset Style here. You can also now pre-order Gypset Travel at almost half off.
