This maxi look can take you from business lunch to happy hour with the versatility of the crisp white jacket. Pops of color on the neck and wrist make it fun and summer worthy. I'm especially in love with the bright cobalt color....works so easily with so many options. Can wait for late spring and early summer to arrive!
Happy Friday......enjoy your weekend shopping finds!

The delicate yet chic look of lady-like inspired style is really winning me over right now. From J Crew to Mad Men, the look seems to be showing up everywhere and it is unlikely it will ever be played out. By embracing today's of the moment trends (polka dots, chunky statement pieces and bright pops of color) and pairing them with timeless favorites (Jackie cardigans, button blouses and nude wedges) you can create a simple yet chic look to carry you through your day.

Bloomies! One of my favorite destinations for one stop beauty must-haves. Beauty treats as far as the eye can see. Needless to say, much like a kid in a candy store, I always seem to find amazing new varieties of old favorites as well as a few great new additions as well. Let's break down my latest daily deserted island products below...
These are the glam makers that I tote around with me daily. A happy little collection that always keeps me feeling pretty as I make my way through my day.
MAC is a great go-to brand if you're looking for pigment and performance. They offer bold colors of the moment as well as the more demure neutrals you seek on the a la natural days. The staying power and price points are equally beauty aficionado worthy.
A fresh-faced visage is easily achieved with products from MAC, Bobbi Brown and bareMinerals. I also love these brushes from MAC and Josie Maran. They make all the difference in both application and wear. They can sometimes be a pricey investment upfront but end up paying for themselves with the professional finish results they give. It's not unusual for me to be asked, "Did you just get your makeup done?" and I owe it all to my tools.
They say "the eyes have it" and I have to agree. These key pieces are great staples for any beauty routine. I like to keep it simple yet stunning. Lancome and liquid liner make it possible along with some help from a neutral base and blendable crease color. A few sweeps of a true black mascara wand and viola! Doe eyes here we come!
Wishing you a beautiful Wednesday!

When it comes to small spaces, never underestimate the impact of color, contrast and chic patterns. When used like this they can work seamlessly together to create a modern feel that adds personality to any room. I especially favor this sweet combo........could be the Hamptonesque vibe that it playfully projects.

It's amazing how inspired I am to whip up a yummy meal while shopping in Anthropologie. It's definitely one of my favorite stores. Something about their retro style kitchen gadgets and accessories makes me start feeling nostalgic somehow. These are some of the fashion-inspired finds that I recently checked out. Loving how the latest trends of polka dots, striped pleats and ladylike ruffles with bows let fashion find its way into the kitchen.
