I had a busy summer of travel and I’m finally sitting down to work on my travel guides. Many of the places can be visited year round so don’t worry about feeling like you missed out. First up is Newport, Rhode Island. I haven’t visited the “City by the Sea” since college so it was […]
As I mentioned yesterday, I had a wonderful summer but there is nothing I look forward to more than autumn in New York. Fall is the city’s finest season. There is electricity in the air again and fashion week begins which is always exciting. There are also many anticipated art exhibitions, design events, and auctions […]
It’s a bank holiday weekend in the UK and it feels everyone else in Europe is en vacances until September begins. I’ve been traveling so much this summer that I’m happy to be at home getting ready for fall. But here’s one last look at summer for those of you who aren’t ready for it […]
I’ve run out of many of my beauty products in the last two weeks. Good thing for me that the Dermstore is offering 25% off most products during their annual anniversary sale with the code CELEBRATE until August 25, 2019. It’s the perfect time to stock up on all my favorites as well as try […]
I posted a Summertimes Blues post last August and I liked it so much I decided to repost it again this year. I made a few tweaks so it’s not exactly the same. I hope you are enjoying your last weeks of summer before it’s back to school and reality time. Interior design by SJB Nine […]
The days are getting shorter and the light is getting lower. That means I’m ready to shift my colorful summer wardrobe into neutral. That means an excuse for a color compilation post. Enjoy. Atelier Vime Alighieri fractured memory earrings on @monicaainley Similar swimsuit available here and here and here and here. Crocheted cotton-blend tote Via […]
I’m not sure when or if I’ll make it out east to tour the Hamptons Designer Showhouse so I was very happy that Alessandra Branca was kind enough to share these exclusive photos of her chic room. The room and color story of blue and coral mixed with natural textures was inspired by Hamptons beach […]
Since I focused mostly on the Grand Hotel in my post last week, I wanted to also highlight the beauty of Mackinac Island, Michigan and give a little more travel related advice. The best time to visit Mackinac Island is from Memorial Day weekend to about mid-September. While the Grand Hotel stays open until the […]
I saw photos of the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Upper Michigan on Instagram last year and immediately put it on my must visit list. When I asked Michelle Adams who moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan about going to visit the hotel, she said it was a long drive from her house which meant […]
I hope you are enjoying a nice long holiday weekend to celebrate the Fourth of July. I couldn’t think of a better place to post today than Sag Harbor. It’s such a quaint harbor town full of American flags and patriotic price. If you’re looking to partake in the all American past time of shopping […]
While I was on Mackinac Island, everyone kept commenting on and complimenting my espadrilles. I brought three pair because they are comfortable and the flat pairs are easy to pack. I’m not the only one who is a fan of espadrilles. The Duchess of Cambridge and her sister Pippa Middleton Matthews share a love for […]
Every once in a while there is an event that overtakes Instagram, in a good way, and this week it was the Zimmermann press trip to Capri. The fashion brand had invited a select group of celebrities and influencers to the idyllic island to celebrate the opening of their 35th store. While Zimmermann dresses usually […]
I can’t believe the year is half over and the Fourth of July is next week. I love Independence Day celebrations and the preppy red, white, and blue fashion, accessories, and decor that let Americans show their patriotism. If you need some updates to get you into the holiday spirit, I’ve picked out my favorites […]
Summer officially started last Friday and now we’re bracing for a heat wave in New York this week. This makes it the perfect time to wear white dresses. I only have one in my closet right now so I’m searching for some new options. If you are as well, I’ve pulled together some of my […]
I’m in Sag Harbor this week and I’ve already done a little shopping. It was warmer than expected when I arrived so I bought this white shirt and yesterday I finally succumbed to the Birkenstock trend with this white pair from the Goop pop up shop. Since it’s raining here today and I am delaying […]
No one does beach and nautical chic like photographer Matt Albiani and Ron Brand. Matt has an entire book devoted to the subject, Lifeguard on Duty, and the duo own the Mate Gallery store in Montecito curated with maritime accessories, book, objects, photography, and more. Now you can experience their aesthetic in a summer rental […]
