A Lovely Little Gift for your Valentine

Well darlings, today is officially the last day of January, which means that it is almost February and thus time to begin thinking about Valentines Day! Oh, how truly lovely it is to be able to spoil those you love with treats during this holiday. I absolutely adore giving Smythson gifts (as I am sure you are all well aware by now!) and these notebooks are beyond perfect for any loved one in your life. Be sure to check out their entire Valentine's collection for many more fabulous treats!

Neons + Neutrals = Fabulous

Lately, I am absolutely LOVING pairing neons with neutrals. It is truly the perfect way to outfit these bright pops of color during these dull winter months!

If you are loving that darling ruffled sweater above, there is a super affordable way to play in this neon & neutral trend at Gap with this darling cardigan or this neon striped top!

Wedding Wednesday: JCREW Bridal Goodies

Although, I am no longer a bride myself I always love checking up on what JCREW Bridal is doing! For those of you who have not been to their store on Madison Avenue in New York, it is truly a must see!

Upon viewing the Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2012 collection, I immediately fell in love. With the chic color palette and sophisticated details this collection is utter perfection. Now if only I could just take the next flight to Paris and wear it around streets!

Goyard totes are truly such a chic & classic staple - I adore mine in grey.... but think that this white might be just right!

As I continue to decorate our apartment, lately I am loving little touches of lucite! It truly freshness up any room.  If you don't feel you can go for a full piece of lucite furniture, a fun way to add a touch to your home is with one of these darling monogramed Dabney Lee lucite trays!

Go Ahead ... Make a Statement

There are many days when the only outfit I can muster together is skinnies, a white button down, and a fabulous statement necklace like the one shown above. Although simple... this outfit is always so chic! I am a huge fan of having statement necklaces in your wardrobe and lately I am LOVING this one from Lauren Elan!

Back to Work

Well darlings, its back to work after a long restful weekend! I think if I had a lovely workspace like Jenna Lyons, it would make the day a lot easier! How amazing is that inspiration board?! I hope your work week is off to a fabulous start!

Big Girls Can Wear Bows Too

As a little girl I think I wore a bow in my hair EVERY single day. Lately I am loving the look of big girls wearing bows too! A simple satin ribbon tied in a perfect ponytail is quite chic.... I may just have to try it myself this week.

Emilia Wickstead Weds

 Well darlings, I have a wedding for you that I just loved too much to wait to share it until Wednesday! London - based fashion designer, Emilia Wickstead, wed her prince charming in Italy this past summer and she truly was one of the most gorgeous brides I have ever seen! Her dress, inspired by the Givenchy gown worn by Audrey Hepburn in one of my favorite movies, Sabrina, is beyond perfection! And that stunning pearl-accented chiffon jacket she wore for the ceremony? ....it truly makes my heart melt. 
Not only did Emilia design her own dress for the Big Day, but she custom designed each of her stunning champagne colored bridesmaids dresses as well! To read more about this lovely day pick up the latest issue of the always fabulous Town & Country Weddings!

Pearls + Leopard = A Perfect Match

In my book you can never have too many pearls and I will never tire of a little leopard... put the two together and they truly are the perfect combination!  

 

I found this fabulous photo through the lovely ladies of Matchboook, who just published their January issue! If you haven't had to the chance to read this latest issue yet, you are certainly in for a treat! 

 

Happy Friday darlings !!!
