A few weeks ago I skipped off to Southern California to spend some time with my west coast BFF, Erika. I spent a wonderful week with Erika’s incredible family, finding a bit of time for relaxation and a lot of meeting of fabulous new friends. I thought I’d share a few snippets from my SoCal …

I’ve been on the hunt for great studio and office inspiration as of late and loving getting a glimpse of the studio space of Scout’s Honor Co. on Brooklyn Bride last week. I’m a huge fan of Annemarie’s work so it’s no surprise that I find her workspace completely inspiring, too. The mix of great …
I am such a lover of the New England coast, I just can’t get enough of the chic, preppy beach style of Chance. My husband and I honeymooned in Bar Harbor, Maine and celebrated our first anniversary in Maine and New Hampshire along the coast. We’ll be celebrating our second anniversary this summer with another …
Today I’m excited to tell you a little bit about Gemvara, a Boston-based jeweler specializing in gorgeous, customizable jewelry including stunning gemstone engagement rings. Couples can browse a catalog of more than 1,500 original designs and mix and match from 26 different kinds of gemstones and eight precious metals to create a truly unique piece …
Like a lot of women I think an obsession with jewelry is hard-wired into my DNA. My grandmother and I used to spend hours playing in her jewelry collection and when she passed divvying up her prized baubles and trinkets was particularly meaningful. So when I see someone creating really special, one of a kind …
I loved the dresses that Monique Lhuillier designed for Mandy Moore at the Oscars and I’ve basically been obsessing over her gorgeous dresses ever since. Her pre-fall 2011 collection featured some absolutely knock-out dresses. Rich jewel tone colors that would be stunning for a wedding. Ombre, sequins, confetti-inspired color, perfectly lady-like silhouettes and incredible draping. …
I love these pretty flower girl accessories from Untamed Petals. There is something about long ribbons, wreaths of flowers and whimsical headbands that remind me of a storybook. As a little kid I used to try and tie daisies together to make a little crown of flowers to wear around. It never seemed to work …
I love bold statement jewelry to inject a bit of personality into a wardrobe. A little black dress is instantly jazzy with the addition of something playful and bright. A casual wedding dress becomes a canvas for ultra chic wedding style with a killer necklace or the perfect earrings. I love all of the drama …
I find myself completely in love with soft and pretty lady-like fashion these days, with bits of sparkle, shimmer and ruffles at every turn. The perfectly placed bit of shine, glittering sequins, wisps of silk and pastel ribbons are just impossibly romantic. Pick a soft, neutral color palette to keep the look from becoming overwhelming …
All of the Golden Globe and SAG Awards buzz has me thinking about red carpet style and what I would wear if I were to walk the carpet. I always love the stars who look effortless and timeless, with subtle references to current trends. For me I think I’d keep it simple. A long dress …
When Kristin Muntean of Hazel West Photography shared this beautiful editorial shoot with me I was immediately captivated by the story. See, Kristin’s grandmother has a gorgeous collection of stunning vintage hats she wore throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s and Kristin has started styling shoots and capturing all of the hats in action as …
We are celebrating the new year in quite low key fashion this year, but boy oh boy am I in love with sequins right now. For sure, if we were celebrating New Year’s Eve with greater fanfare I’d have to go out bedazzled and bedecked with sparkle and sequins and maybe even a bow or …
