Blue & White

This color combination never gets old... I remember the first time I was allowed to decorate my own bedroom - I chose a blue & white color scheme after becoming obsessed with one of my neighbor's effortlessly chic blue & white bedrooms.

And then there's my love for Chinese ginger jars....

"I find it harden & harden everyday to live up to my blue china."

- Oscar Wilde

Wondering what I can blue & white-ify next?? Perhaps a bathroom in Nantucket?? Hmmm.....

The Big 2-5

WOW. Mid-20's. Its official.

Forever Finds

One of the great parts about living in NYC is the access that you have to both high and low fashion - (with a LOT in the middle of course).

When I can manage to the idea of braving the Herald Square crowds, I love nipping into Forever 21, H&M and Zara to score some cheap thrills.

My latest venture with SLL was a hit. Particularly the costume jewelry at Forever 21. Surprisingly fab - and unlike the earring I lost at my Gold Gala event last weekend, I won't be too sad if I lose anything whilst tearing it up on the dance floor!

Decorate with Coral

Anyone who knows me will attest - I love most anything having to do with the ocean. When it comes to interior design - this translates into the desire to incorporate shells, shades of blue, and coral whenever and wherever the opportunity arises.

I have yet to catch the etsy bug - but my sister SAB is all over everything etsy, especially DIY interior design ideas. She suggested the idea of buying etsy coral prints and framing them. I could also paint them myself... sounds like a fun spring project to me!!

D. Porthault

With spring in the air - the bright, floral designs of D. Porthault seem particularly fitting. Maybe that explains why I have been seeing it all over the blogs lately?

I also spied some D. Porthault guest towels in the FAB apartment of my friend Caroline Burke's apartment - as captured by this month's Lonny Magazine. Serious apartment envy going on here....

Oh - and thanks to one of my favorite blogs - The Pursuit of Style, I found out about the D. Porthault SALE!

Go Shopping

One of my most favorite aspects of blogging is doing research to find new cool things to talk about. As you would expect - my lust list is ever growing...

Here are some of my new favorites from a new find: Furbish Studio / blog:http://www.isuwannee.com/.

Enjoy!

Go For a Hunt

Apologies for my lack of posts lately... I really do try to post everyday, but in the past 2 weeks my blogging really took a backseat to my social life and work demands.

One of my adventures was a trip with DWC to Florida to hunt quail... Thought I would share some of the photos!

I am back in NYC now and my schedule has calmed down, so stay tuned for more regular posts... and THANK YOU to my readers! I don't know who all of you are, but I write this for you.
