Very ladylike the way my skirt flows while I walk. 
I could spend hours on Kate Spade’s Upper East Side balcony with this gorgeous view of my favorite city.
“I like the classic look. Keep it simple. There’s only so much you can wear.”  C.Z Guest. This book is basically my bible.
Mornings are not so bad when you get to play dress up with pretty shades of lipstick, earrings that look like snowflakes, and a perfume that smells divine.
Heaven is relaxing in my scalloped pjs with a cup of tea, a good book, a lovely scent, and pretty tulips in my favorite mint julep cup from Design Darling.
“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul” Luther Burbank.  Hydrangeas looking ever so lovely in my monogrammed vase.

You can never go wrong with a preppy print and bows on your toes.

It’s the kick-off to summer, the tasteful smell of a cookout, the excitement of having a long weekend, and the non-guilt feelings of wearing white–yes Memorial Day weekend is upon us! Or, as I like to call it, 3 days of shopping roulette also known as impulse buying. Whether you are having a get together with friends, shopping the sale racks or heading to a mini vacation, this weekend is all about casual attire. Something comfortable (and chic) to throw on, ring in the sunshine season, and have a few cocktails with your friends on an outdoor patio.

love my new cookbooks!

1) All of these 4th of July decorations from Pottery Barn is making me very excited for the holiday!

2) Love Design Darling’s career spotlight post on interior design company Kapito Muller Interiors. Not only is it interesting to tap into the minds of interior designers (and collect some great decorating tips), but it is inspirational to read about driven, passionate women owning their own business.

3) Already thinking about how beautiful this will look with a bouquet of peonies in my new home.

4) You can never have too many shoes with bows 🙂

5) I will have to look the part while crossing off this on my bucket list.

6) A great way to look at life.

7) I am currently in the middle of reading The Fault In Our Stars by John Green and highly recommend reading it before the movie comes out! It is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read.

8) If you are looking for a great at-home workout session (and nutrition plan), head over to Tone It Up! I love their quick but effective workouts, especially if I do not have time to go to the gym. Karena, Katrina and a community of women inspire and support each other to keep motivated and to stay fit and happy!

9) If you are in the New York City area please support the arts and go see one of American Ballet Theatre’s spring season performances at the Metropolitan Opera House! It is such a beautiful experience and one of my favorite things to do in New York.

10) One of the many reasons why I absolutely love Carolina Herrera, a lady who really understands what it means to be truly elegant.
