happy weekend

Happy Memorial Day weekend! I couldn't be more excited about the start of summer fridays and a 3-day weekend! I'll be heading out to NJ to see some family and spend time outside of the city. 

+ loving the new Lo & Sons Catalina Weekender featured above (save 15% with code HELLOCATALINA)
+ obsessed with this "living atrium" featured on Domaine
+ planning on scooping up this silk tank (check the back!) & embroidered dress (maybe both colors?!)

spring in the city

 

 Spring in New York is one of my favorite times - days are longer and the city truly comes alive with restaurants opening outdoor seating, flowers and trees blooming and ice cream trucks popping up on every corner.

I LIKE YOUR STYLE

 

This summer, I'm all about printed shorts. I love that you can dress them up or down and they pair well with silk tops and basic t-shirts. Add a pair of sandals and you're good to go!

interior envy: jessie webster

I've been a longtime follower of the blog Sweet Thing written by Jessie Webster. Her photography work is absolutely stunning and I had no doubt that when she debuted her new home, it would be equally stunning. Her home is everything I hope mine will be one day - full of beautiful light and a mix of modern and traditional elements. I'm in awe of her rug collection, especially the antique kilim rug in the dining room.

wedding wear

Wedding season is rapidly approaching and with it, the dilemma of what to wear. Two of my siblings are getting married—one of them is black-tie and the other I'm a bridesmaid in, so at least that's one dress I don't have to think too much about! Last week I asked my dear blogging friend Hanna to share some of her favorite options for summer events (she always has the best dresses!). Her choices were spot on and it inspired me to go out and find a few options to share with you here, as I'm sure quite a few of you have some big summer events to attend!

ONE: Necklace $148 / Dress $295 / Heels $298
TWO:  Necklace $498 / Dress $475 / Heels $238
THREE: Dress $398 / Clutch $25 / Heels $375

FOUR: Dress $635 / Clutch $180 / Heels $375
FIVE: Earrings $328 / Dress $945 / Heels $80

domaine home / maggie kayne

Domaine Home, a new interior design site by the founders of WhoWhatWear, launched last week, and to say I'm obsessed would be an understatement. Updated daily, it features inspiring interiors, recipes, a how-to section and peeks into celebrity homes. One of my favorite parts of the site is the "hey, where'd they get that anyway?" section that corresponds to each interiors feature. It shows you similar pieces at varying price ranges from an amazing array of sources.

I'm particularly smitten with the Los Angeles home of gallerist Maggie Kayne. It's classic California cool with a healthy dose of mid-century finds and a dash of amazing textiles. Not to mention that amazing LIGHT and enviable art collection!

sonoma retreat

I'm still editing photos from Hawaii, so in the mean time, rest your eyes on this incredible home located in Sonoma, California. I love how peaceful the setting is and how the house opens up to become part of its surroundings. I can only imagine how amazing it is to have this as a weekend retreat!

aloha

I'm off to Maui tomorrow and cannot wait! And I was given the green light from my doctor post foot surgery, which is a huge relief. We've had this trip booked for a long time and I was so worried that my surgery would ruin it. I'm planning on taking a much-needed break and plan on soaking up as much as I can while there, so I won't be updating the blog while I'm gone, but I'll definitely be instagramming!

This is my first time to Hawaii so please let me know if you have any suggestions or recommendations!

spaces feature

I'm so excited to be sharing my updated workspace on Eva's blog. I've long admired many of the spaces she's featured so I'm thrilled to be included with such a great group! After my last desk feature, I really wanted to simplify my space and add some artwork alongside my inspiration pieces.

Sometimes you come across something that just must be shared.
Today's inspiration: Stitch & Hammer's instagram.  

let's hang some art

I'm finally starting to sort through the artwork I've accumulated and figure out what pieces I want to keep. I'm noticing that we have a lot of graphic pieces and very few photographic pieces, so I'm on the hunt for some photography prints to add to our collection. Here are a few I've been eyeing...

ONE / TWO / THREE / FOUR

Next up - getting everything framed!
