Today I wrote an article on heirloom gifts and the meaning behind things that are “passed down.” It’s a lovely idea … having items that you wish to share with future generations. In fact, it made me think of what I would consider a passable heirloom. Next to my wedding bands, I would have to ...
I’m swooning over these gorgeous Band of Outsiders Polaroids showcasing their Fall 2010 collection. Most of these were shot in Mt. Baldy, CA, a place I’ve never been to, but which seems a perfect setting. I’ve been a huge fan of this label for years, especially they’re gorgeous tailored blazers for women (perfect thrown over ...
I’ve been in Detroit this week for a photo shoot and the one thing I keep noticing (and find hard to escape) are the incredible sales! Everywhere I look it’s 3.1 Philip Lim on sale for 50% off, my favorite J.Crew flats marked down nearly 40%, and yes, even handbags I’ve coveted for months, nearly ...
So I had good intentions of doing a dual part Napa post but alas, our trip has interfered! Can you believe I haven’t had much time to do anything but eat, drink + be merry? I know, how strange. If you follow me on Twitter you’ll see that BCL and I have lived it up ...
I just got my first view at some of the AMAZING pieces that Cynthia Rowley is putting out for resort 2010. Sublime patterns, colors, and the SHOES! Well, I can’t wait to get myself a pair of these.

In fact, you almost have to leave the store (or website) because you know you can’t buy everything (or sometimes even one!) and it’s just too much to handle? Well, that’s how I felt today ...
Some of you may have seen + heard that our wedding was up on Martha Stewart Weddings today! It was such a fantastic feature, a truly wonderful trip down memory lane with a lot of added explanation. The inspiration was Glen Arbor, llamas, the rustic natural beauty of Northern Michigan, and of course, food + ...
I’ve talked before about my lack of collections and how envious I am of others. However, upon further inspection, I must admit that I seem to do a bit more collecting that I previously thought. In fact, if BCL has anything to say about it, I collect shoes, handbags, jewelry, magazines, office supplies, and, well ...
|| “Mouse” photo by Elle Moss via Etsy. || Today has been truly liberating in so many ways. First off, I cleaned my entire office in preparation for our big “renovation” which starts next week. You’ll likely become quite familiar with the “re-do” as I intend to photograph before and after shots of the room. ...
I came across these beautiful clay pieces by Alyssa Ettinger a while back when I was searching for knitted coffee cozy’s. The Brooklyn-based ceramicist and former stylist, has an exquisite eye for detail and an even lovelier palette. For this “knitted” series, she incorporates large knit, cable knit and small cable knit stitching to achieve ...
