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). 

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!

Stormy Saturday...

 

Aerin Lauder has the right idea.  The perfect spot to be in this blizzard.

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.
