Shop The SIL

Darlings, I am absolutely delighted to introduce you to the newest online boutique that is seriously chic and unique ... the SIL (an acronym for 'Stuff I Like'). The brilliant brainchild of Natalie Bloomingdale, the shop aims to offer handcrafted, hard to find investment pieces from independent designers who are not otherwise available online. The edited collection of exclusive styles are undeniably classic and ladylike. Happy Shopping!

Cute Suit

 

I am truly such a fan of Zimmermann's incredible swimsuits like this and this. And this blue bikini (also available here and here) is seriously making all my swimwear dreams come true! From the subtle stripe to the undeniably feminine ruffle this suit is way more than just cute.

Interior Inspiration: Jenny Wolf

I am seriously swooning over every room in interior designer, Jenny Wolf's newly renovated New York home (see the entire thing here on Vogue.Com). From the perfect paint colors on every wall to the guest room complete with Scalamandre and Leontine Linens ... I absolutely cannot get enough! What fabulous interior inspiration to start off the week.

dCc Deal Alert: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

 

Run, don't walk darlings ... the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is officially here! What sets this sale apart from all the rest is the fact that NEW merchandise is marked down (including things like classic denim that would normally NEVER go on sale). Thus, making it the perfect time to stock up on your Fall wardrobe essentials. I love to use this sale for just that ... to purchase timeless pieces I know will never markdown again. Below are a few of my favorite things that will never go out of style. 

The Perfect Pair(s) of Denim ... - these, these, and these! 

Classic Rainboots

Sleek and Chic Workout (or running errands!) Pants

My All-Time Favorite Candles

Bodysuits are Back

Bodysuits are back in a big way and this one from J.CREW is pure perfection. I find that there is nothing more annoying than constantly having to re-tuck in your button down (especially when running after little ones!). This solves that problem, keeping you looking neat and chic.

 

       

Sweet Dreams

 

I mean seriously .... is there anything sweeter (or more snuggly?) than children in swoon-worthy sleepwear? Here is a round up of the brands I love to put my own children in, which may help you find the perfect pair of pjs. Sweet Dreams, Darlings!

 BEAUFORT BONNET COMPANY - Nothing sweeter than their Night Nights   HANNA ANDERSSON - Classic quality built to stand the test of time ( & hand me downs!)   PETITE PLUME - Truly luxurious and sophisticated mini-me styles   ROBERTA ROLLER RABBIT - Wow-worthy whimsical prints that are seriously soft                  xx,            

MDS Stripes Resort 2018

It is no secret that I am seriously smitten with everything Mark D. Sikes touches. His timeless style is absolutely impeccable, thus it is no surprise I am quite a fan of his line, MDS Stripes. They recently launched their Resort 2018 Collection and I cannot get enough! I have always adored his clean stripes, but the styling in this line is perfection, as they have paired the stripes with gorgeous floral. A match made in heaven. All styles available for pre-order now on Moda Operandi. Run, don't walk, darlings.

Dress Obsessed

You know I absolutely can't resist a good shoulder bow (as evident here and here). Thus, I am truly obsessed with this gorgeous dress from the Marchesa Spring 2018 Collection. Can someone please wear this!? Or how amazing would it be to get this made in Navy for another event? ... a girl can dream!

Can't Get Enough Fall 2017 Couture

The Fall 2017 Couture shows in Paris this past week were truly everything I adore. Of course, I loved seeing the incredible creations of my tried and true favorites like Giambattista Valli and Ralph & Russo. However, I was most blown away by the breathtaking designs of two California-based brands, who both made their debut in Paris this week ... Monique Lhuiller and Rodarte. Simply stunning. I am just swooning thinking about the shows {and thank you Instagram for allowing us to all feel like we are there even without an invitation to the front row}
