POP UP SHOP  |  CLUB MONACO

 

Club Monaco was always that shop I found one, maybe two things in a year. So imagine my surprise when I stumble upon their new season and put a weeks worth of clothes on my wish list. They have struck that balance of classic design and modern sophistication that makes me feel put together even when I am wearing something casual. I am so impressed.

You will find my 18 picks from their most recent collection on THE STYLE GUIDE. I will be working on highlighting shops I love and creating collections moving forward so I hope you find it helpful! Click below to view my picks…

Though small, I wanted to share this selection of interiors. What I loved most about them is the textural element of each room. The distressed wall, the intricate mix of pattern, the aged velvet… they all soften their primary color palettes into lovely, welcoming pastels that make you want to reach out and touch them.

Clare Vivier has her monogrammed catch-alls up on her site now! I am so tempted!  •  I have really enjoyed familiarizing myself with interior designer Lorenzo Castillo. The colors in the room above have been on my mind lately  •  Imogene + Willie are offering sleepwear now! They have reversed the satin fabric on this Mae nightshirt so the silky side faces you! So thoughtful!  •  I feel like Maiyet has been popping up everywhere recently. Though it is way out of my price range, I have loved looking at their products. The craftsmanship looks absolutely incredible and their styling tells such a lovely story. This horn and gold necklace caught my eye while I was perusing their site. •  The Spring / Summer 2013 lookbook for Alexander Terekhof blew me away. I really appreciate the use of color, print and pattern.  •  This handcrafted leather mouse pad made by Bexar Goods is so handsome! Would love it for my husbands desk!




FIELD STUDY  |  BIMINI • BAHAMAS

Though it is nothing novel, I wanted to introduce a location series on the blog.  I felt like I was leaving out a personal source of color inspiration for my graphic design work and with summer on it’s way, traveling is on my mind.

While perusing Town & Country’s website this weekend, I stumbled upon their Special Projects Editor’s trip to Bimini. The write up features Amanda Heart’s personal photographs and recommendations in a very refreshing way. I love how they did not over editorialize her visit and kept it real.

Click through to see her snorkeling. Here’s hoping we can all hop a plane soon!
