Mara Hoffman

March 26, 2014




Mara Hoffman's campaigns are always a window into her colorful, bohemian and enchanting world. I love how she plays off of the vibrant colors of nature that inspire her collections. This 2012 resort campaign is by far one of my favorites.

I'm also digging how art, nature and technology seamlessly come together in this new spring editorial. In true Mara form, it's all about women opening themselves up to the universe and harnessing their magical powers...while wearing some pretty spectacular dresses.

Love Dart

March 17, 2014


There are a bunch of companies nowadays designing high-quality leather goods that are simple, classic and timeless, but what caught my eye about Love Dart's leather bags and accessories is that they're designed with form and function in mind. The shapes are simple yet structured and hand-stitched by designer Sonia Scarr. The entire collection is made to order which makes the pieces that much more special.

Weekend Inspiration

September 30, 2011

My life has been a whirlwind of insanity over the last couple of weeks. But I've cleared my mind a bit and am taking more of a laid back approach to all of the curve balls life is throwing my way. And here are a couple of things that are making me happy along the way...



Smitten Kitchen's Scalloped Tomatoes recipe. To say I love tomatoes is an understatement. I can't live without them! And this dish is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. Tomatoes, bread and cheese...what's not to love. If you happen to have leftovers, try it for lunch with a poached egg on top. Heaven! We picked up enough tomatoes at the farm last weekend to make lots and lots of batches!


My new royal blue pebble Clare Vivier Foldover Clutch. It's such a beauty. I love the color and the texture. And the pop of red. I've been rocking the Bando for the last couple of weeks but I think the clutch just beat it out as my new go-to bag.



I didn't think it was possible to love Feist more than I already do and then I listened to her new album, Metals. Love!


Heather's webisodes have become my go-to resource for easy and tasty recipes (her plum and tomato salad has become a favorite around here, and her salad dressing is perfection). But truth be told...they make me happy. Heather is adorable, the music is uplifting, the colors in the videos are beautiful, and I so want to live in her house (or her backyard). Seriously, if you need a pick-me-up, hop on over and hit play.

PS: I'm back on Little Skyline (my blog for moms and little ones) with Fall fun, art and food.

Have a great weekend!

Savage Beauty

August 8, 2011

My attempt to see the Savage Beauty exhibit on Friday morning was unsuccessful. We waited outside in the blaring sun only to learn that the exhibit line was shut down for several hours. I've been super bummed since. Luckily, Garance posted several stunning shots on her website

Boots, scarves, layering...Madewell is making me seriously crave Fall.

Tie-Dye

July 28, 2011

Ever since I first laid eyes on an Upstate wrap I knew I would fall hard for all things blue tie-dye. I still covet the wrap, but in the meantime, am seriously considering these

Easy Breezy Summer Outfits

June 27, 2011

With the birthday celebrations behind us, I'm finally able to focus on our summer staycation, which officially kicks off this afternoon once I get the car back from the mechanic (new radiator, ugh!). Given all the toddler fun that's in order, my outfits need to keep up pace. So I pulled together some inspiration...

BHLDN

May 5, 2011

I just jumped over to BHLDN, Anthropologie's bridal line, to check out their new party decor collection and I couldn't help but swoon over their super cute dresses, shoes and hair accessories. Every time I visit I find myself wishing I had a party to attend. Very true to the Anthropologie aesthetic, most of their stuff is very ethereal, with a vintage twist and eye to detail. I especially adore their shoes and hair accessories. And I fell hard for the clamshell necklace pictured below...it's a locket! Oh, and the new decor line is cute too.

Bold colors and beautiful images...
I couldn't help but smile when I came across Charlotte Taylor's new collection on Oh Joy!...I'm a sucker for animal prints, especially when they're done in such a fun and quirky way.
