Valentine’s Day Gifts

I’m not even sure I really need anything but, in an effort to be a ‘team player’, I came up with a few things I love. What I figured out is that the list are actually items I need to amp up my everyday ‘feel good, look good’. While I’m newly susceptible to all things beauty (check out the lip scrub!), I’m partial to the wine decanter. It’s sexy, enables a positive socializing habit, and is part of my new

Winter Essentials: Gloves

Yoox has one of the best selections of gloves and mittens for cold weather. In the face of #Juno, it seems timely to grab something to keep your digits warm….even if it’s just to dust off the car! I don’t have many but here are the digit-warmers I’m lusting after. The red Dsquared long gloves are my fave….. [show_boutique_widget id=”217092″]

Grown Up House

  I’ve been obsessed with making my house a”grown up” house recently. You ask, “what’s a grown up house?” and while one could argue that anywhere you pay a mortgage constitutes a ‘grown up’ house, I’m really talking about the inside. I love the colors I’ve chosen and some of the furniture I’ve managed to acquire but it’s been missing something – pictures! I have lots that I love and I’m bringing them out of the woodwork to see what

So Sick of Winter….Already

We are thick into the middle of winter with no end in sight so that’s more rain, more snow, more sub-zero temperatures, and more bone-chilling winds. I don’t know about you but I”m done – I can think of plenty of places I’d rather be including Bora Bora Amalfi Coast Scottsdale, AZ St. John, V.I. In case you’ve forgotten what the sun looks like and what you’d need to be ready-to-rock, here are my sunny day go-to’s just in case

T-Shirt Trauma

There are tons of things I could be talking about or you could be thinking of when you read the title. I could be talking about that sticky situation I got myself into when I hooked up my friend with another friend (I will make an oath to stay out of ‘grown folk’s business in the future); or I could be referring to my desire to find that perfect winter white coat for my client even though I’m loathed to

MANly Monday: Indoor/Outdoor Boot

It’s winter. The coldest month of the year is usually February. Global warming doesn’t exist but if it did, you’d likely need boots, or use them even if you lived further south. It’s frustrating to look for boots that go from outside to inside. ALL your problems solved (except global warming) with the Johnston & Murphy weldon cap toe boot ($170). The perfect mix between indoor and outdoor ~ you can walk from your car to the office and not

Canon PowerShot G1X

I’m determined to get better acquainted with my gifted Canon PowerShot G1X in 2015. It’s got an “auto” mode which is where I’ll start….. I’ve been hoping for a more sophisticated camera when I should have focused on what I had and been thankful for that. I needed a reminder and I got it as I was fishing around my creative space (aka office) doing purging, repurposing and organizing. Let’s see what I can make of it…and then maybe something

Aspiration #11: Reading

I can read of course, but the reading I want to do for 2015 will be more intentional I have my first five books already (see below) which are unfortunately left from this past year. I’m starting with…. 1) HRC by my good friend Amie Parnes ~ this could be Hilary’s year…. 2) Deluxe by Dana Thomas ~ a bit of a re-read but so essential to understanding the history of fashion and its houses 3) In My Shoes by

Handbag Shuffle

I have quite a few handbags especially clutches because I have a belief that they are always useful whether to dress up a casual look, to hold small tidbits, or for travel. Similar to shoes, handbags can be transformational to an outfit. The perfect leopard print bag can bring together the disparate parts of a pair of black pants and a camel sweater; or a cute aubergine and navy clutch sets off a pair of dark rinse denim and navy

So here were 2014’s Goals & Intentions…. This year’s aspirations are about financial freedom, style curation (of course), and focus…..
