Pom-Pom Presents.

15 Comments Posted by on November 30, 2011

I’m miraculously half-way done with my Christmas shopping already, so now comes my favorite part: the wrapping! This year I plan to forgo my usual grosgrain ribbon and try something a little more three-dimensional. Leftover baker’s twine inspired me with the festive red and white colors, so I decided to whip up some fluffy pom-poms [...]

My ever so stylish sister is taking over the blog today and sharing her ideas for getting dressed up on turkey day. Let’s be honest – you want to make sure you look your best at family holidays; your crazy old aunt (you know you have one too) will be taking pictures every chance she [...]

Bracelet opinions.

11 Comments Posted by on November 17, 2011

Bracelets aren’t typically my accessory of choice — within two minutes of arriving at work I’ve discarded them to the side of my desk because of the clanking and clinking they make while I’m typing. But last week at J.Crew I snagged the hot pink link bracelet shown below, and I’m suddenly rethinking my bracelet [...]

Natural curiosities.

I went to the Museum of Natural History in New York this weekend for the first time since I was a little kid. I still found the dinosaur fossils as amazing as I did back then. What stood out to me this time though were the displays of tiny specimens I zoomed by as a [...]

Bridal shower.

11 Comments Posted by on November 14, 2011

This weekend I had so much fun hosting a bridal shower for one of my girlfriends. Girly does not even begin to describe it. We had pink lemonade, a cake made out of pink donuts, pink cupcakes with glittery sprinkles, pink rock candy, and lots of sparkly pink and silver garland draped around the room. [...]

Tailgating.

2 Comments Posted by on November 11, 2011

I’m heading down to New York for the weekend and will be attending my very first football game while I’m there. I’m not what you would call a sports person. But tailgating? I can get behind that. Enjoying a cocktail and dinner off the grill in my warm quilted jacket on a cool Fall day [...]

A dash of detail.

All you need is just a dash of detail to make a simple patent pump a coveted statement piece — and a black and white striped heel does just that. Thank you, Kate Spade, for feeding my stripe obsession even more! Karolina heels via Kate Spade

Inmod is an online retailer of modern home goods and their site has a Design Studio feature that enables users to design and customize pillows and bedding. I got drawn into the design studio tool and admittedly spent a big chunk of time playing with all of the designs, fabrics, and colors — it’s really [...]

Investment piece.

4 Comments Posted by on November 7, 2011

They say you should invest in classic pieces for your wardrobe — advice that also carries through in design. I guess you could say I someday aspire to invest in a piece as classic as a white button-down shirt: the chesterfield sofa. This one featured in the Anthropologie catalog is a picture of perfection. via [...]

Luxury lounge.

1 Comment Posted by on November 3, 2011

I’ve had one of those weeks where I get home from work and all I want to do is kick off my heels, get into some cozy lounge-wear, and flick on the TV.  Now, let me be clear about one thing: I’m strongly opposed to sweatpants; I take my lounge-wear seriously, crisp black yoga pants and j.crew striped [...]
