I can’t remember the last time I saw a model on the cover an American fashion magazine. Daria Werbowy graces the cover and inside of the February 2014 issue of Harper’s Bazaar and it’s quite refreshing. Probably because she’s more of a relatable than most models.

Until then, here are some photos from a few of my recent trips to the Hamptons. Bon weekend!
This sign just went up in the window of a chic little frame shop down the street from me. Don’t you wish you could hang up a sign like this and take off on vacation for two weeks?! I’m not actually on vacation but I wish I was of course. What I am doing is […]

After my visit to Aerin Lauder’s house and store in the Hamptons, I decided that I needed a topiary. Since I don’t have a house like hers above, I settled for a small myrtle topiary and a larger ball topiary in a blue and white pot similar to the one in her store. It’s a […]
