Pond House

A couple weekends ago I attended a baby shower in honor of one of my oldest friends. It was held at the Pond House Cafe in West Hartford, CT inside Elizabeth park. The venue hosts events, but also has a cafe open to the public, and if you are in the area it is not to be missed. The grounds surrounding the pond are perfectly manicured and in full bloom. There is outdoor seating, and in the summers, even a special area where you can bring your dog. If I weren't on the shoreline, I'd probably be a frequent visitor!

For the occasion I wore a silk dress by Etro that I picked up during the summer sale at Roundabout last year - I think I missed the sale this year :(
The dress was a steal (I think about $125) and I was drawn to it because it was 1) silk and 2) made in Italy. Sadly this is only the second time I've worn it, the first being to a wedding last fall, which went undocumented. Hopefully I can sneak in another wear soon, because this dress is far too good to be stuffed in my closet 364 days a year.
