In addition to more flat lay outfits and color compilation posts, I’ve also had a request to bring back more bon weekend compilation posts. These are posts that incorporate disparate recommendations and events that don’t warrant a full blog post. I’m not sure I’ll do them every week but instead when I have a few […]
I’ve had a lot of requests for more flat lay outfit posts and I’m going to try to comply. Sometimes things I buy sell out quickly which makes it hard but luckily most of the latest things I’ve purchased are still available. I’m also trying to think about how to transition some pieces to fall. […]
When I saw designer Daniel Richards in Sag Harbor earlier this summer, he commented on the fact that I used to post more for men. It’s definitely something I’ve been aware of as well so I’ll try to try to remedy this going forward starting with this post. The women’s fashions get all the buzz […]
Fashion isn’t the only thing on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Great deals can be found on bedding, bath towels and accessories, home decor, rugs, tabletop, kitchenware, and more. It’s the perfect time to hit refresh on your own home, decorate a dorm room, new apartment, or weekend retreat. I’ve picked out a few […]
I enjoy following the travels of Julia Engel, her husband Thomas Berolzheimer, and their art director Dulci Edge, as they photograph each Gal Meets Glam Collection. The July collection launching today was shot in London in May during the Chelsea Flower Show. The whole city seemed to be bursting in bloom creating the perfect backdrop […]

The sale opens to everyone on July 20th but many items will be sold out by then so make sure you shop early. The sale includes new fall merchandise […]
Someone asked me if I had a blowout on a particularly humid day recently when I had actually done my own hair. Since it’s been two years since my last hair care post, I thought the height of summer might be a good time to help you humidity proof your hair as well. I was […]
I was in the middle of writing a post on espadrilles, the perfect summer shoe, when I came across this photo of Pippa Middleton and her brother at Wimbledon yesterday. Pippa has summer dressing down to a science and her ensembles usually involves espadrilles which are chic and comfortable. The pair she’s wearing by Penelope […]
There is nothing like coming back from vacation to 90 degrees and a heat wave to snap you back to reality. Not sure if I feel better or worse that so many cities are experiencing the same thing including London and Paris. Luckily, we have American air conditioning here but that doesn’t help when you […]
I have a bad habit of going on a trip and posting all my adventures on Instagram but never following up with a travel guide on the blog. Well, those days are changing. I am going to try to post a recap after every trip and go back to some of my old travels but […]
I’ve gone a little crazy shopping lately. Luckily, most of it was on sale or not that expensive but I’m pretty sure I’m cut off now. In my defense, a lot of it has been for my trips to Bermuda and the Hamptons, and my upcoming trip to Nantucket. Since many of you expressed an […]
I had meant to get my Father’s Day gift guide up earlier this week but my trip to the Hamptons caused a delay but don’t worry, you still have plenty of time to shop. Father’s Day is a great time to treat the men in your life to things they might not buy themselves or […]
One of the places I always stop in Sag Harbor is Bloom. Except for the one time I went out with a guy I was dating who rushed me through shopping and I missed saying hello to owner Mona Nerenberg. She was so disappointed that I vowed it would never happened again. The first time […]
Amanda Brooks was supposed to move to her husband’s native England with her family for just one year in 2012. Not only are they still there, she just opened a lifestyle shop in Stow-on-the-Wold in the Cotswolds. Cutter Brooks carries a carefully curated mix of vintage items like fair isle sweaters and new pieces from Atelier […]
Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews took advantage of the long British bank holiday weekend to visit Paris. They also attended a French Open tennis match at Roland Garros where Pippa was spotted in this chic and comfortable outfit that would look great on anyone. It’s also easily replicated with the exact items she’s […]
One of the best things about summer is that you can use fun straw and wicker handbags instead of feeling pressured to have the latest “it” bag. Here are some of my favorites that will add pizazz to any warm weather ensemble. Many are on sale too! Above: Honolulu Basket Beach Please Bag – now 50% […]
Memorial Day weekend always marks the unofficial start of summer and with it comes a multitude of pop up shops in the Hamptons. Make sure you stop by some of these when you’re out east. Aerin has added an East Hampton outpost this summer that is filled with her own Aerin Beauty and Williams-Sonoma lines, […]
