Darien has been hit with some seriously warm weather lately and it has me thinking… of rosé! Honestly, it doesn’t take much to get me thinking about rosé, but I am ready for it regardless. Should come as no surprise that I have some favorites already, bottles that I like to keep stocked in our…
This group of beach reads is a varied bunch: you have your classic thrillers and feel-good reads, but I also included a few memoirs and family sagas. The original beach-read authors Jennifer Weiner and Lauren Weisberger are included, along with newcomers Sarah Penner, Cristina Clancy, and Liza Rodman. For Darien locals, you may want to…
Last summer I posted about my obsession with stacking bracelets. I collected bangles, gold beaded wristlets, and colorful tiled bands. This season my fixation on shiny accessories has shifted upwards to my gold chains and charm necklaces. It all started last August when I purchased an Aurelia Demark lion charm for my birthday (yes, I…

Ugh, I so don’t want to put on a bathing suit come June. Let’s just say that my post-Covid physique looks a lot different than my 2019 body. Don’t get me wrong, I am trying and trying to shed the Covid pounds, but at my age, it seems to be taking a little longer than…
Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of summer- and this is one summer we need to celebrate! Unlike last year, this May we will be acknowledging how far we have come in the past 12 months. Covid numbers are down, vaccinations are up and we are ready to toast to a better future ahead! So…
Meet Me
Welcome to Whit & Whimsy- a lifestyle space I created to share my favorite books, beauty buys, fashion, and more. I post about trusted products I love, items I lust after, and treasures I give as gifts. Expect to hear about the latest thriller read, maxi dress, simple meal, and best new mascara-- and there will always be a touch of leopard print, and a monogram or two. I hope to connect with readers by offering inspiration and suggestions through content that is classic, chic, shoppable, and a bit whimsical.
