Leal Daccarett Resort 2018

This week I was absolutely delighted to discover {new to me} line, Leal Daccarett when the Resort 2018 Collection was featured on Moda Operandi. Behind the luxurious Columbian label, known for it's show-stopping evening-wear, is a husband and wife team. To say I am smitten with this Collection would be an absolute understatement. From this sensational swimsuit (maybe my favorite EVER?), to gorgeous gingham, to architectural coats, and divine dresses. Can I please have the entire line?

Make A Sachin & Babi Statement

One of my favorite ways to spruce up any outfit is with statement earrings. To say they are having a moment is actually an understatement. Sachin & Babi has some incredible pairs like these, these, these and these. It's hard to choose just one!

Much Love From Maine

I simply adore the truly romantic feel of Nathalie Love's wedding on a tiny island in Maine. From the spectacular setting to her darling flower girls, the day was sweet perfection. It is no surprise given that the wedding was curated by the bride's mother, Vogue's West Coast Editor, Lisa Love. The day came full circle as the reception was held at style icon Marina Rust's, whose own classic wedding the bride was a flower girl in year's before. Truly much love from Maine.

Sezane Paris Launches La Liste

French "it" girl brand, Sezane, just launched a new collection and let's just say it's ... parfait. The pieces in La Liste are focused around timeless classics that can live in your wardrobe season after season. Of course, I'm seriously smitten with all the stripes (it's hard to pick just one!). The collection will continually be refreshed, so don't get discouraged if something sells out (as I suspect many things will!) The epitome of tres chic.

To & From

Darlings, I recently discovered the most delightful gift concierge service that I just had to share. To & From curates truly thoughtful and beautiful gifts for their clients to celebrate all of life's special moments. Whether it's bringing home a new baby or welcoming you to a wedding weekend, they will customize a complete package for your gift. What I adore is that their wrapping and presentation is just as gorgeous as the gifts inside!

India Amory

Julia Amory founded the concept for her lifestyle brand, India Amory, in 2016 while searching for printed fabric to use for the tables at her own wedding in Southhampton. (See photos of her beautiful wedding here). Unable to find the perfect print for an affordable price, Julia decided to develop her own linens using the Indian block technique. She was so inspired by the process that she left her career in finance to start her brand. She creates beautiful lifestyle and home goods ranging from cocktail napkins to bathrobes in prints that are playful yet sophisticated. I am also seriously smitten with her new monogrammed trousseau pieces (surprise, surprise!). 
What also truly sets her brand apart is that she offers custom services for weddings and other events. What an incredible way to set your big day apart and a lovely keepsake to last a lifetime.

Luli & Me

A children's brand that I continuously find myself going back to is Luli & Me. Their designs are beyond darling and perfectly sugary sweet for girls. For the last 30 years, the family owned brand has been dedicated to delivering classic children's clothing. I find that Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and The Best Dressed Child always have a wonderful selection of this beautiful brand.

A Swiss Skincare Secret

A friend recently introduced me to the Swiss skincare line, Alchimie Forever and I am seriously smitten. I have been using the products for just over a month now and my skin truly has never looked or felt more radiant. The antioxidant skincare is created by dermatologist Dr. Luigi Polla (love this profile on his daughters in Vanity Fair) and is dedicated to preserving the radiance of your skin while combating aging. My must-haves from the line are this gentle cleanser, this serum, and this cream. Your skin will thank you!

Monique on Moda

 

I truly could go on forever about all the reasons I absolutely adore Monique Lhuillier's Spring 2018 Collection. In fact, it is one of those few collections that feels like it was designed with me in mind. From the frothy lace to fabulous feathers to dreamy jacquard the pieces are truly exquisite ... Even down to the irresistible accessories like this belt and these shoes. I would love it ALL in my closet (a girl can dream!) and it is currently available for pre-order on Moda Operandi.

Alice's Wonderland

 

There is no denying that I am quite obsessed with British beauty and true tastemaker, Alice Naylor-Leyland. Thus, I was beyond delighted when I saw that Architectural Digest gave us a glimpse into her whimsical wonderland in the English countryside. I adore the way the interiors of her estate, Stibbington House, combines playful details with sophisticated colors and pattern. The end results is truly dreamy.

Head Over Heels: Marion Parke

 

Ostrich feathers and velvet bows .... I don't think I could love Marion Parke's Lainey Heel more! But, this shoe is truly more than meets the eye with Marion Parke's signature contoured insole (made of medical grade foam!). The luxury shoe label was recently founded by a podiatric surgeon with the hopes of creating supportive heels that wouldn't sacrifice style. Now you never have to worry about aching feet at the end of the night again!

Breathtaking Bride

I actually already covered this spectacular wedding, which took place at a beautiful French Chateau immediately after it was featured on Vogue.Com. However, recently I discovered some additional stunning photographs on the photographers website that I simply had to share. This may be one of my favorite bridal looks of all time ... a stunning gown and custom cape complete with box pleats and bows created by Amir Taghi. Swoon-worthy is simply an understatement.

Smitten with Sandro

There is no denying that I am seriously smitten with Sandro, as it is the perfect place to get pieces with Parisian flare. It has long been a favorite of mine (particularly for dresses) and I'm truly fortunate to have one in my neighborhood. Their Fall Collection just launched and is absolutely gorgeous. But, you should also know that they are currently having a major sale on their Summer styles and there are SO many incredible pieces over 50% off like this (I'm dying to find it in my size!). this, and this.
