Happy Friday readers–this week’s post is all about tennis! Opening day for our club team was last week and I am gearing up for the season ahead. My favorite find is this Ame & Lulu gear bag from J.Crew— lots of pockets and compartments for all the equipment (and lip balm) you need on the…
Fragrant florals and crisp, clean fresh scents smell like summer to me. Anything reminiscent of the beach, the garden, or the warm sunshine makes for a pretty perfume. I usually stick to Annick Goutal’s Eau D’Hadrien fragrance (light and lemony), but I find it’s fun to change things up occasionally. If you want to experiment…
Move over LBD, it’s time for the Little WHITE Dress. The summer white dress is the item in my wardrobe that I reach for most often– it’s flattering and comfortable and can basically go anywhere and look appropriate. And who doesn’t like a little lace or eyelet in the summer? To help jump-start your white…
Happy May–I hope you had a chilled margarita for Cinco de Mayo yesterday! Now it’s time to relax, recover, and enjoy the next batch of snippets, from a Coronation to eye cream, and always a little leopard.

Gingham used to bring to mind Dorothy’s checker print dress from The Wizard of Oz, but I am rethinking the classic pattern, now updated by designers like The Great and Staud (with more affordable options at Tuckernuck and J.Crew). The latest trend is both feminine, traditional, and somewhat whimsical, don’t you think? Below are some…
Magenta, raspberry, bubblegum, or fuchsia– I love a little hot pink (and fun fact: I have been a fan of hot pink ever since I chose vivid J.Crew Collection dresses for my bridesmaids). Just putting on a pop of magenta, in any way, can brighten my day, even if it’s just an accessory (like my…
This weekend brings more snippets for you all. From cookies to comedy and always a little bit of leopard. Daphne Oz swears this is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe– and we are trying it this weekend! The perfect puff sleeve blouse. My next book is a Reese pick The Club by Ellery Lloyd, a…
