Haute Look

Always bringing their A game to Paris’ couture showings, these femmes prove they’re the showstoppers . . .

Little Drawers

Vintage letterpress drawers, card catalogs, printer drawers and apothecary cabinets are all perfect places to store your tiny treasures. I’ve been keeping my eye out for a letterpress drawer for a long time before I starting looking online at Etsy and Ebay. And it turns out Craigslist came to my rescue with someone giving away seven letterpress drawers for free. Bingo. Persistence is key!

WORK IN PROGRESS: How the designers create

The ever so essential inspiration board is the perfect canvas for collecting images that reflect changing moods, ideas that spark new ideas, and precious mementos that inspire. Somewhere among this collection of organized chaos, you’ll find my own inspiration board, which is desperately needing more space . . . at the moment.

More Mood Boards....

Can you guess which inspiration board belongs to which designer?

(Tory Burch, Marchesa, Jason Wu, Narcisco Rodriguez, Rodarte, Altuzarra, Suno, Thakoon)

Vanity Vignettes

I adore this inspiring collection of über feminine and personalized vanity vignettes. Whether it be swiping on lip color, dabbing on perfume, or slipping on jewelry, it’s almost always the final stop in the getting ready process and where the finishing magic happens! 

So what beauty essentials and jewelry staples sit in your vanity? Send me your photos to share!

DREAMERS...

Are you A dreamer?


I haven't seen too many around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore. It's not dead, it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language. Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming, every day. 

Our planet is facing the greatest problems it's ever faced, ever. So whatever you do, don't be bored, this is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting...so dream dreamers.
