{Midnight in Paris} Photo Diary

Now that I have watched Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, I am officially even more obsessed with Paris.  Last April, before I started this little site, I took a 3-day trip to Paris.  Since I never shared them, I figured no time like the present.  Countdown to return, commence!

{style} wedding throwback

I have this dress that I have confiscated from my mother a few years ago that I loved but only really wore slip dress with a funky belt. For my cousin's wedding, I thought the unstructured floral 'jacket' was just the right topper, especially because it matched my new Coach Genaveeve sandals.  Which, by the way, are the most comfortable shoes in the world!  It turned out to be the perfect setting for a pretty perfect day.

{Happy Friday + Weekend Getaways}

Trying to plan some nice weekend getaways for next month...this gloom & rain is not what summer is about.  But, in the spirit of it all, Happy Friday!

{House of Lavande} Vintage Couture

I wasn't going to share this, but I came across House of Lavande and am shaking looking at these vintage couture jewelry pieces, spanning from the 1920's to Studio 54'ish lucite.  If I was in Palm Beach, my wallet would be hurting a lot more than it already is.  But my jewelry collection would be so much more beautiful & fun!

The art, colors & age of the walls in Williamsburg, Brooklyn could keep me wandering for hours...
