Dancing in the streets...

For Fall 2022, Oscar de la Renta is taking their dresses for a night out on the town!

Their cute video, in lieu of a traditional runway show, is a glimpse of what we all are all hoping for Fall...

 

Bedroom refresh...

After being home, home and home again for the past two years, I am sick of looking at almost everything in my house.   Nothing super major, but I have my mind set on a few changes in my bedroom.

 A new rug.  Currently, I have a very flat cotton rug.  It served its' original purpose, something on the floor that went with my furniture.   Now, I am looking for something with a little texture, a little softness under foot, yet still neutral.  

I love my upholstered bed, and that is not going anywhere.  My mattress on the other hand is crying for help.

On my constant wishlist, is a pair of these Ralph Lauren lamps flanking my bed.  

Confession, I do not have a proper end table.  This simple square from Serena & Lily caught my eye and might just be the winner!

Lastly, burl wood frames with botanical prints on the wall, simple and serene.  

Sparkly stunners...

 

Have a sparkly weekend!

Totes all around...

Another thing I love about Summer, the totes!  Canvas and raffia totes to bring from the pool, to the beach, to the tennis court, and everywhere in-between.

Anya Hindmarch TENNIS tote.  Does it get any better?

Valextra two-tone shopper.  Olive is my new favorite neutral.  

Khaite raffia tote.  Long on my radar, I am happy to see this bag again this season.  Maybe this will be my year to purchase one.  

Milton Market x Reed Krakoff canvas tote.  Clean, classic, perfect.   

Oh socks...

 

New territory for me: socks.  Athletic socks, I have a handle on, certain pairs for tennis, others for strolls in the park.  Lately, I've been looking for a dress sock.    

Top of my wishlist, Gucci knee socks. How cute peeking out paired with sneakers.  

Comme Si cashmere duo would be welcome in the sock drawer.  

Lauren Manoogian alpaca blend knee socks, go with everything.

Slipper season...

 The most worn shoes in my closet: slippers!  Cozy, comfy and go with everything.

The holy grail of slippers are the Jenni Kayne shearling moccasins.  

Some others I have my eye on:  Sleeper shearling slips, available in a rainbow of colors, the pink being just fun.  

L.L. Bean's fleece booties look like clouds for your feet. 

Armor-Lux striped wool slippers are just classics, and hold up incredibly well.  

Dear Winter...

Dear Winter, 

It was great while it lasted, but it is time for you to go.  We both know I love cashmere, and a good coat, but I miss the sun, sand between my toes, the sweet smell of sunscreen.   Winter, I'm not asking for you to disappear all together, but if you could allow for an early check-in for Summer, that would be great.

Ready to protect my skin, and my highlights, with this chic hat!

I think about adding something like this to my beachside attire, but a black maillot is much more me.  

Don't forget to add the jewels.  

Big enough to hold your beach read and your sunscreen, the perfect tote.  

February Moodboard...

 Who says February has to be all heart shaped candies and red roses?  

My February is stripes, sneaks, and sunshine (hopeful).
