Picking Gina’s Brain…

Gina Pell, the whip-smart and super stylish founder and CEO of Splendora (our client!) now includes a little “Five Things on My Radar” in their Style Forecast each week, and she always has some fun stories, commentaries, and finds to share with like-minded gals like yourself.

And oh yes- she had dinner with Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran recently- read about it here.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

I just visited my mom and dad in Florida and had the best time… Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!! You have always been the coolest. xx

(This is me and my mom…I guess it’s clear who I got my love of magazines from!)

Mother’s Day Sweets

I’ve decided to invite my mom over this Mother’s Day for some good champagne and fresh baked sweets at my place. Really, what else is more indulgent?? I’ve discovered the blog Joy The Baker and have been glued to the computer screen since. The beautiful photography and classic recipes with adventurous twists are so inspiring. Now, what to bake??!

Espadrilles Etc.

Summer means espadrilles, and espadrilles mean summer. To me, they are warm weather classics- always chic and très European. There are sooo many stylish choices on the Spanish espadrille site Espadrilles Etc., it’s creating a bit of a problem for me. How to choose?

My favorites:

{Loles}

{Anastassia}

{Claude}

{Magali}

{Manolas}

{Phoebe}

{Mimosa}

Gorgeous old bottles…

Now that we have a floral client, I’m finding myself needing to find more vases/vessels to put blooms in. I found these vintage soda bottles from Buenos Aires on P.O.S.H. Chicago, and I think they’re perfect for a single flower. (And actually, I like the idea of a grouping of them.)

House and Garden

I was seriously crushed when Conde Nast House and Garden folded last year, but I love looking back at these vintage covers…
