Life

"Between the wish and thing, life lies waiting". - Unkown

Green With Envy

I love this room. I loved it when it was first published in Domino Magazine, and I find myself returning to it via their website, www.dominomag.com. The paint is named, Oregano, and I believe if I remember correctly, available at www.benjaminmoore.com

Under The Sea

What better inspiration for life than from the beautiful, vast, blue waters? There is something about the ocean that immediately calms me, and soothes my soul. Living away from it for the first time in my life leaves me in desperate need of constant reminders that it still remains waiting for me. Z Gallerie makes it only too easy, with a selection that Zeus himself, would be proud of. www.zgallerie.com

Let There Be Light

Perfect in any breakfast room. www.ballarddesigns.com

Doing The Charleston

Guilds Bennett and her crew at Miostile in Charleston, SC are celebrating the new year with a major sale. If you don't feel like taking advantage of her insane deals (everything from Ella Moss, Rory Beca, Crispin & Basilio, to Anlo Jeans) check out her new arrivals at www.miostile.com.

Shameless

Ok, that's how I feel after picking out more than a few pieces of interest from the David Yurman website (www.davidyurman.com). You can't easily exchange if you buy directly from them. My advice, purchase from Fink's Jewelers, at 704.927.4888. Plus, their customer service is impeccable.

ps. the yellow gold, bezel set diamond band would be perfect stacked in sets of three

What You Need

I can't help but show off Candy Romeo's new line. Her fold over clutch is pure brilliance. And, although I wouldn't normally consider myself a cuff type of gal, her selection of Velcro'd wristlet type things are a must. Thank you my love, for always accessorizing me!

ps. I share my profile pic with Candy's little dear, Willy.

What I Want

I spotted these while browsing www.anthropolgie.com (see below post). As an avid collector (of anything, really), I am desperate to find a set of my own...

A Drink With Jam And Bread

On sale now at www.anthropologie.com (that is before everyone snatches them up).

Spring Time

I popped into Banana Republic a few days ago on my lunch break. Although Charlotte has been plagued by snow flurries, BR seems to be ready as ever for spring. The best part being, you can't beat their prices... www.bananarepublic.com

All Star

Growing up, we had three rules about Christmas and birthdays. Anything we asked for, we automatically did not receive (gift giving was from the heart, and not about the actual gift itself), gifts were for fun (my mother was adamant that we never receive anything we needed), and by no means were we ever to even entertain any thoughts of returning or exchanging said gifts.

For my recent big 30, I received one of my favorite gifts of all times. Forget the fact that they happen to be Chuck Taylor's (there obviously isn't a cooler shoe), that I happen to share the name (hours of torment on the playground, I assure you), or that they came from my favorite website (www.vivre.com). No, their glory lies in the fact that they are purely ridiculous, silly in the way they shine, look damn good with my new pair of Odyn Jeans, and, quite simply, make me smile every time I look down at them.

Coral Flora

I am simply in love with these earrings! My dear friend, Dana Levy, from design school (miracle of all miracles, we both somehow survived "jewelry design boot camp" at the Gemological Institute of America) is the creator of these fabulous baubles. Wear them this season with your favorite white jeans to cocktails on the island of your choice. Even better, make them your excuse to search for that stunning dress worthy of their slightly sophisticated, yet flirty demeanour.

It wouldn't be fair if I didn't at least give you her website...

Favorite Things...

There will most likely be a constant theme to this blog. Certain things you may see more than once; anything that shines, shimmers or sparkles, pinks in all shades; animal prints (a fortunate stamp left on me from my visits home to see my father in Kenya); blues in all shades, from the sky after a storm to the grotos of Capri; photographs from places far, far away; quotes that make us stop, think, ponder, re-evaluate & appreciate...
