Casual Friday
I recently re-watched The September Issue, a documentary on Anna Wintour, VOGUE and the most awaited issue of each year – September. The power of Anna Wintour blows my mind. Considered one of the most influential women in the world, ladies around the globe rush to mail boxes, bookstores and news stands to grab each month’s issue of VOGUE to feed ourselves the latest fashion nosh. I can’t remember a day when I wasn’t hungry for the next issue, especially September. Last year, the most beautiful book was published: VOGUE The Covers. Every cover, every issue, since the beginning of VOGUE. Ah-flipping-mazing!
My Spring loves include Peonies in a Mint Julep cup, the new fabric on our vintage sofa, the red soles of my birthday Christian Louboutins and VOGUE The Covers.
Ageless Beauty
With 29 approaching quickly, it’s been impossible not to pick apart my face and imagine all the things I need to be doing to preserve my youth. We as women have been bombarded with beauty treatments to maintain the fountain of youth and images (photoshop enhanced, of course) of what we should look like. Now, enter Iris Apfel, the 90 years young woman who is the new face for MAC Cosmetics. Iris celebrates her age and every beautiful line on her face. Quite the fashionista, she’s uniquely Iris. I think she’s BEAUTIFUL! Don’t you?
Far East
Meanswear + Stripes + Comfort = Obsession! I’m even more intrigued by the story of Charles Philip, his love for a striped shirt and the journey to creating his line of shoes with his best pal Sheila Pitigala. It was actually John who purchased these for me – I hadn’t been introduced to these great shoes. Since then, I’ve added a few more to my wardrobe. You can read about (and shop) the Charles Philip Shanghai collection here.
Going “Home”
I’m heading to NYC next week to kick-off the last year of my twenties. I’m still in disbelief that I’m about to be 29!!! For me, there’s no other place more perfect to start the last year of this wonderful decade. New York will always be my “home” no matter where I go in life. Aside from the adrenaline rush I get from the hustle and bustle, I will most love indulging in some of my favorite city spots and spending time catching up with dear friends. John has been a bit concerned of whether I have intentions of returning since I’ve packed the largest suitcase we own. Though I spend great amounts of time selecting what items will go in my suitcase, I always overpack just in case I have a change of heart about what to wear. A few of my travel and accessory essentials are here…
Necklaces: Tiffany & Co., H&M (old), Stella & Dot (old) / Bracelets: David Yurman, Tory Burch (others old), Kate Spade, Stella & Dot (old), Alisa, Tiffany & Co. / Watches: Baume & Mercier – similar here, Michael Kors, Timex / Rings: Trina Turk (old), Kate Spade (old)/ Slippers: Burberry (old) / Purses: Louis Vuitton, Gucci / Parfume and Creme: Jo Malone / Sunglasses: Tiffany &Co.
Navy + Green
There is little I love more than classic navy. However, a splash of green gives the conservative blue a playful side. Here are a few of the latest items on my Spring wish list!
