On Display



Many of us who love fashion often have a hard time finding storage for (much less getting rid of) our treasures. If you’re short on space and proud of your beautiful things, why not display them? When your beloved items are visible they will be enjoyed by friends that visit and you’ll be reminded to wear them more often.

I love the look of shoes in bookcases or shelves. I’m so proud of my shoes and if I hide them away, I will occasionally forget an old favorite. I also die for the hat display.

Jewelry is another prized possession that can be neglected when one accrues more than a few favorite pieces. Who needs artwork when you have baubles strung about?

Storing clothes and bags in an open space can be a bit tricky. I think it’s important to play up the organized chaos rather than organized or chaotic. Also, play up the femininity with the color palette and furniture. Case in point: chandeliers and pastels.

As much as we shouldn’t, we often judge beauty products by their appearance. Because don’t you feel more beautiful when surrounded by beautiful things? Especially Chanel…

Have a lovely weekend!

Love in Bloom

I love these pictures. They have such a honeymoon vibe, don’t you think? In addition to the lovely clothing and adorable couple, this editorial makes me want three things: shorts season, vintage luggage and a macaroon.

Happy Friday!

After a long week, I feel like I earned a three day weekend. I’m pretty sure I always feel like that. We have a big fundraiser this weekend – a chili cook-off that has grown from a few friends in the backyard to a full-fledged charity function. I’m very excited about it but it’s going to be a ton of activities packed into three days! We are making some decisions on the rehearsal dinner as well…

I hope you have a lovely weekend, no matter your plans. Savor every drop.

Our Future Home (if only in dreams)

This dreamy little site has infected me with all sorts of real estate envy, desire and full on coveting. You can see why…

Just a dreamy little villa in Siena, Tuscany. Will you be mine?

Wouldn’t this be perfect for V-day? I’ve been reading a lot lately how most men absolutely abhor Valentine’s day. Why? Is it really that bad? I understand it’s hard if you’re alone but what do those who are with someone hate so much about it. Feeling lucky that my main squeeze doesn’t mind taking me to dinner. I understand that it’s a BS holiday and that people shouldn’t show their love on only one day but I really don’t mind the standing dinner invite. It also happens to be our decided anniversary.
