WEEKEND WARDROBE

Michael and I are visiting friends from Bucknell this weekend and I’m definitely excited to spend a little time in the sun (with sunscreen, of course!). Here’s my dream packing list for a weekend getaway… (1) Saint James striped tee (2) Wooden wayfarers (3) Neutrogena sunscreen (my favorite!) (4) Devon Baer starfish earrings (5) Marley Lilly […]

PARTY BRIGHTS

One of the things I miss most about college is always having a reason to dress up. Between date parties, formals, and plain old weekends, it wasn’t hard to find an excuse for a new dress or pair of heels. But I know some of you are in the throes of wedding season so I […]

DESK DU JOUR

I was instantly taken with this unique desk setup on a round dining table. Different? Yes. But just as practical? Totally. I love being able to spread out while I work and this seems like a great solution, particularly if you’re using a laptop that can be moved in case you want to use the […]

KENNETH JAY LANE ON GILT GROUPE

Just a quick note to let you know that the Kenneth Jay Lane elephant bangle I shared on Instagram yesterday (as well as a bevy of other beautiful baubles!) is available again on Gilt Groupe. Sign up here and let me know what you find!

IN THE KITCHEN

I am the first to admit my inability to cook. I’m generally picky, I’ve been a vegetarian for four years, and I rely pretty heavily on my ability to make guacamole and/or toss a salad. But for someone who’s decidedly pathetic in the kitchen, I sure do like to look at them… Ryan Korban in Lonny […]

SUMMER STYLE

Summer is a time for simplicity — fewer layers, less makeup, and the kind of clothes you can toss in a bag for a spontaneous weekend trip. This take on the plain white t-shirt is precisely what I have in mind… ASOS peplum t-shirt (only $24!) // Fallon lion studs // Modcloth striped scarf Incase iPhone […]

INSTAGRAM UPDATES

Lately I’ve been Instagramming way more frequently and getting lots of questions about where certain items are from. Consider this post your one-stop-shop! 😉 Monogrammed acrylic pencil cup (or a new home for makeup brushes!) Moroccan Oil treatment / Revlon Stormy Pink / Covergirl Spellbound / NARS Jungle Red / Maybelline Falsies mascara Tall topiary / […]

DESIGN DARLING ON SHOPBOP’S SHOPTALK

As a full-time blogger I write a lot of guest posts (sometimes it feels like a full-time job in and of itself!). Every now and then a really cool opportunity comes along — like the chance to post on Shopbop‘s blog Shoptalk!  I decided to put together a little packing list for my upcoming trip […]

FRAMED SILK SCARVES

Finding art is tricky: it’s personal, it can be pricey, and it’s usually a process to find the perfect frame and actually assemble it. I have three vintage silk scarves, already framed and ready to be hung, on sale in the boutique starting at just $100. They’re big, graphic, and definitely statement-making — the perfect […]

WEEKEND WARDROBE

It seems each Friday I find myself posting about what I’d like to be wearing into the weekend so I’ve decided to dub the feature Weekend Wardrobe. In the hopes of a cool breeze blowing through Connecticut this weekend, I’d like to be channeling this breezy look… Devon Baer Designs gem earrings // Topshop dress […]
