Cardi-party...

While social gatherings are on hold at the moment, one thing we can all embrace is a Cardi-party!  Cardigans galore, pair one, two, as many as you like.  It is my knitwear of choice at the moment, and the perfect addition to your WFH leggings, dress, or tennis skirt.  


I have a previous season version of this sweater in navy, and love it.  This from La Ligne has been on my wishlist for a while now, the biggest question is which colorway to choose?!  The cashmere cardigan from Palmer & Purchase looks like something I would reach for every singe day. I've long loved Jenni Kayne for her timeless classics, her cardigan is just that!  The creme de la creme, a Chanel cardigan.  I have alerts set on The Real Real to one day own my own.

Upper East Side elegance...


I love few things more than peaks into gorgeous Upper East Side homes.  Tom Sheerer worked his magic not once, but twice on this gorgeous abode.
My favorite passage from the accompanying text,

There was a time when knowing how to keep an elegant house in the city was a small club. The buildings were few; the people in them who might be served a cheese puff on a silver tray knew that it came from William Poll; the gin was cold, and the jazz was hot.

Early voting starts this weekend in NYC, 

One of my favorite interior decorators, Katie Ridder, chats with the ladies from Ballard Designs on their podcast,

Who else read Rebecca in school?! The Hitchcock classic is back, staring Armie Hammer and Lily James,

I love delicata squash, and plan on making this dish over the weekend,

Loving the prints and whimsey of Casey Marks dresses,

The perfect chocolate cookie, sign me up!

The Vampire's Wife x H&M...

 I've long been a fan of Susie Cave's feminine noir line.  Today her collaboration with H&M launches, and it does not dissapoint.  Her signature romantic sleeves and just the right amount of ruffle is spot on.  

I have no black tie occasions on my social calendar, but should something come up, I'll be ready!

Mask, mask, mask...


I have a feeling that we will all be wearing masks for a while.  Now with everyone making them, here are a few of my favorites.

Etsy has some great options. Simple cotton masks are crowd pleasers. And, these floral masks are my latest favorites.

For walks outside and tennis this season, I ordered a set of athletic masks.  

Mountain & Sackett has masks for the entire family.  Adjustable straps and fun patterns.  

Splurging on a mask seems like an oxymoron to me, but maybe a 'fancy' mask is the new 'going out top'.  Be sure to accessorize with mask bijoux!!

Lately...


 

My Fall wishlists usually include a chic boot, a pretty blouse, a statement earring, but this year my list is a little different.

Items for winter tennis top my list - this L'Etoile skirt will definitely help my game, and a sleeveless Zara vest for the morning chill.     

For the daily walks, the most comfortable Nike sneakers and a Mansur Gavriel crossbody for just the essentials.

As meals continue to be consumed in my kitchen, a set of dishwasher safe, melamine plates may be in order.

Le film Chanel...

 

Chanel can do no wrong in my book.  The SS21 collection, shown in Paris earlier this week, paid tribute to Coco's relationship with Hollywood.  Scenes from La Piscine with Romy Schneider and Jeanne Moreau in Elevator to the Gallows set the scene for the collection.  The clothes transport to another time and place, just the kind of escapism we need now.

Gaga for Ganni...

 

I have had my eye on oversized quilted coats lately.  This one from Ganni is tops!  Toggle closure and added ladylike collar, the perfect winter wardrobe addition.

Ride at home...

I'd be lying if I didn't say that I miss my weekly Soul Cycle classes.  While I cannot imagine stepping foot into any kind of gym environment any time soon, I do think about clicking 'buy' for a Peloton bike.  I don't know where I would put it, but I'm sure I could figure it out.  I think we are going to have a long winter ahead of us, at home.

Fluffy feet...


As safer at home continues, these shearling flats would look great walking around my apartment.

Life in the shade...



In addition to upholstery, pretty linens, and all things wicker, I love a lampshade.  I'm enamored of printed pleated ones, mini sconce shades, and scallops!  Matilda Goad makes the most gorgeous scalloped shades.  But, if she is out of your price range, Etsy has some fantastic options.

Entertaining with Aerin...

 Fact: I love all things Aerin Lauder.  Her charming stores in the Hamptons, her lighting collection, her fabrics, her tabletop collection with William-Sonoma, the list goes on.  Her dinner tables throughout quarantine were a constant source of inspiration.   Her latest tome, Entertaining Beautifully, gives a glimpse into that special Aerin touch!

Bed head...

I'd love to spend the weekend in this room.  This Colefax & Fowler print is one of my favorites, just enough pattern and play, while remaining neutral.

Bathroom refresh...

 A quick scroll thru the Weezie instagram, and you will immediately want to be a Weezie girl.  Charming, whimsical, and inviting.. who can resist.

Well, you are in luck, today only Weezie celebrates their second birthday with 20% off.  I have my eye on these clever make-up towels.  No more mascara on my white towel for me!
