SHOP THE ROOM: BRIGHT BREAKFAST NOOK

I spotted this beautiful breakfast nook on one of my favorite morning reads, The Pink Pagoda, and pinned it to my dining board immediately. Isn’t it something? The natural light is unbelievable, of course, but I loved the modern table paired with bistro chairs and a classic banquette. In my dreams, I’m curled up here […]

10 CLASSIC FLATS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD OWN

I love a sharp pair of heels as much as the next girl, but sometimes my feet just need a break. When it comes to pretty, preppy shoes for women, there are so many timeless styles from which to choose and no need to sacrifice style to maintain comfort.

Who has fun plans for Valentine’s Day? I love an excuse to dress up and go out to dinner but this year the holiday falls smack dab in the middle of fashion week… which probably means I’ll want to do anything but. That said, a couple people on Twitter asked if I would style a […]

15 CHIC WINTER COATS

15 chic and colorful winter coats

I’ve rounded up 15 chic winter coats because sadly this winter weather isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I’ve realized, especially with fashion week festivities on the horizon, that few people actually see the outfit underneath your outerwear.

THE ZHUSH HOME TOUR

My apologies if you’ve already seen this home tour floating around but it’s just too good not to share! The Connecticut home belongs to my friend Sue of The Zhush and is brimming with interior eye candy. Sue definitely shares my love of a blue and white color palette but I adore her clever use […]

OUTFIT: BURBERRY TRENCH AND GOLD HEELS

I know what you’re thinking: a Burberry trench and heels in this weather?! But sadly these photos are a throwback to a whopping week and a half ago when the sidewalks weren’t covered in sheets of ice and the idea of stepping out in a trench coat and shiny gold heels for a double date wasn’t […]
