One day…oh one day…

I’m ashamed to admit that I watched the season premiere of Keeping up with the Kardashians on Sunday. I’m usually against Kim’s style choices for one reason (she wears too much make-up) or another (her clothes are too tight) but Sunday, I really liked the outfit she wore for her house party. I couldn’t find a photo of it but here is the link. She wore a structured top with a short full skirt. It got me in the mood for skirts and I’ve found some cute ones, all under $100 of course…

I’m in the market for a return address stamp (which I’ve always wanted). There are plenty of cute options on Etsy but I’m having so much trouble deciding! Any thoughts? All the examples are linked to sources.





A while back, I posted a Vanessa Jackman picture of Christine Centenera. I really like her style…effortlessly chic, daring, fun. Jak & Jil featured her favorite things and they are drool-worthy.

…hoping to put my best face forward for a productive and wonderful week filled with racks of dresses in my dressing room…

a light, neutral palette …

some antiquing…

shelves full of books…

the perfect drapes…

creative shoe displays…

…and enjoying the late sunsets while we still can.

Hello there. Doesn’t Thursday always feel like the beginning of the weekend? No matter how much you must accomplish before Friday evening, when it officially commences? It’s always a wash of relief to wake up and know it’s Thursday. There are four full days before Monday comes round again.

This weekend is particularly exciting for me because Saturday is my birthday. It’s always lovely when your birthday falls on the weekend, particularly Saturday. You can compel your friends and loved ones to celebrate Thurs. night straight through Sunday morning. That’s what I plan to do…per usual. I still get very excited about birthdays. What’s not to love about an occasion to celebrate, where everyone you care about feels obliged to make you feel special?

Fortunately, I already feel special. Hope you do too…on your birthday and always.
