Lately...


Nancy has bowls of citrus in her kitchen too!

Tell me you are a Monica, without telling me you are a Monica. 

Home Again is in my constant rotation, always.  

A sweatshirt is at the top of my wishlist, what has happened to me?

Do you Wordle?

Next stop... Paris!

Love notes...

  In the window of The Row in NYC, all of these mini envelope cases are hanging crossbody on a mannequin.  Simply adorable.  Large enough to hold a credit card, and little else, but what else do you really need?

Chanel sur la plage...

 Watching Haute- Couture, reminded me of past Chanel shows.  The elaborate sets, the gorgeous clothes, the pieces that are on perennial wishlists.  One of my all time favorites is the Spring 2019 sur la plage show.  The brand built a beach inside the Grand Palais!  Models carried their shoes and walked along the 'C-side'.  A logo-heavy collection filled with a more is more mentality, Karl Lagerfeld noted on the longevity of a Chanel piece - girls 'borrowing' pieces from their mothers and grandmothers.

Season of Chanel...

 The only show I am actually excited to watch during any fashion week is Chanel.   For Haute-Couture, Virginie Viard, showed her best collection yet.  The tweeds, the bows, the feathers, the sparkle, all of it.  It is unapologetically beautiful, classic, whimsical - Chanel.  Watch the full show here, I recommend wearing your favorite cap toe ballet flats and clutching a quilted bag while doing so.

Flower power...

 


It may be snowing outside, but the flowers are in bloom inside.  

Every season the Loewe drawstring pouches get better and better.  

Herbarium card case from Loewe. (Yes, two Loewe pieces, they are that good!)

Adam Lippes daisy dress.  Bonus, it is on sale!

Navy sweater from Bernadette Antwerp

 This Givenchy babies breath floral was one of my favorites.

Art at home...

  Hanging something on the wall is a commitment.  You will look at this everyday.  Do you love it? Is the the size correct for the room?  The Belperron showroom, designed by Daniel Romualdez, does art groupings well.  Jewelry sketches framed in the same size to create a cohesive grid.  Visually interesting, yet organized.  




For years, my walls were bare, except for a mirror in the entry, and above the fireplace.  Now, I am running out of wall space.  I love the idea of hanging a collection - last year I hung my John Derian plate collection above my kitchen table, and love it.   

My latest project is putting together a collection of small watercolors for my bedroom.  A soft grouping feels right in the space.   I have one, that I want to frame in burl wood, and have my eye on a piece from Lia Burke Libaire, the hard part is choosing which one.

Sneaker style...


It came as a shock to us all, but it happened.  I wear sneakers nearly everyday.  Now that my two legs are my main mode of transportation around the city, no other shoe will do.  
Some favorites ands some that I have my eye on.  

NB x Staud.  I missed the earlier collaboration, I won't miss this one. 
I wear a variation of this shoe nearly every day.  
Love, love these!  
I saw a woman wearing these in Navy the other day.  Oh my chic! Little did I know they were a limited edition pair.  
Still on the wishlist.

Sale, sale, sale...


To be clear, I need nothing.  But, that does not stop me from looking.  After a month spent searching fo the perfect gift, it is ok to look for yourself, especially if it is on sale!

Saks Fifth Avenue is teasing me with size availability on this Totême sweater.  One minute it is in stock, the next it is not.  
For me, resolutions stick when I have new gear
Anything reminiscent of Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) in The Holiday, is an instant win for me.  Her first night in England, swathed in cashmere, is my favorite scene.  
Already thinking about Summer?  Me too.  This breezy floral number is sure to he in heavy rotation in the warmer months ahead.
A little bling is always a good thing.

Tennis time...

 


With so much happening from home again, my weekly tennis clinic has become something I very much look forward to.  
Not only is it fun, it is an outfit!  

I added this chic scalloped skirt to my tennis wardrobe earlier this season, and it definitely helped my game.  
This skirt may get the award for most comfortable.
I love everything from the Kule Tennis Club.  
Stylin' on and off the court.
This tennis dress reminds me of the Slim Aarons series. 
Something to not freeze from the court to the car.
It's on sale, that means buy it, right!?
For your gear, both big and small.
