Happy New Year 2014

My theme for the year

Philosophy on a Plate

This West Elm plate really just says it all. My theme for the year.

Bedding Part Deux

Dwell studio was having a big sale so I couldn't resist buying the bedding I've been coveting for years...the Peacock Dove Duvet!!! I think we're all set on bedding for a while.

A little Jenna Lyons fabulousness

CFDA Red Carpet

Who were your favorite looks? Mine were Adriana Lima and Nicole Richie!

The Big Screen, Small Screen and Netflix

What a great long weekend of entertainment...Star Trek Into Darkness in Imax 3D, the return of Arrested Development and the much anticipated Behind the Candelabra! Which did you watch? My answer...all of the above!

Memorial Day Mattress Sale

Its true what they say, there really are great mattress sales memorial day weekend. The hubby and I upgraded to a new queen bed, mattress, box spring and frame and I just couldn't resist this west elm ikat scroll bedding to go with it (with wamsutta dark gray sheets).

Book Style

Just devoured Dan Brown's latest, Inferno. If you like his other Robert Langdon novels you will enjoy this one. Fast paced and interesting, a true page turner!

Met Costume Gala - How Jcrew Does Punk

Oscars Best Dressed

CHARLIZE THERON!

and for the afterparty, did you see Jcrew's Jenna Lyons' in her own design (pictured below with girlfriend Courtney Crangi)... I dont know what I think about it, love it or hate it? Usually Jenna can do no wrong in my eyes but I'm leaning towards hate it.  Maybe if there were no sleeves and the V wasnt as deep. 

Inauguration Fabulousness

Michelle Obama looking fabulous in Thom Browne Coat, Jcrew Belt, Reed Krakov knee high boots and bangin' new bangs! Chic-est first lady EVER!!!

Golden Globes

Belated pics for Golden Globes best dressed - JLo in sheer lace, Jessica Alba in coral hollywood glam and Kate Hudson in rocker chic!

Jenna Lyons Modern Chic

I'm In a New Year's State of Mind

Gearing up for New Year's Eve and 2013, I'm finalizing my "theme" for the year... I'm leaning towards "Simplicity", and getting inspired by the above quote, as well as "Be More With Less" and "Living Simply frees you to Simply Live."  What is your theme for the new year?

Travel Style

I can't get enough of Atlantic Pacific's travel style - the epitome of travel chic! Blair always seems to elevate classic pieces that everyone has in their closet to new heights with the perfect styling, big sunnies (her trademark) and a red lip!

Emmy Style

Looks were all over the place at last night's Emmy awards, with no real Best Dressed in my opinion.  Some looks that were at least interesting were Heidi Klum, Ginnifer Goodwin and Julianne Moore.
