Wild Night

Event planner extraordinaire, Bronson van Wyck, hosted the ultimate birthday bash (or ball should I say) to celebrate his 40th this week. The decadent Bal des Sauvages held in an underground concrete bunker on New York City's 27th Street, was beyond extravagant. Guests showed up in an array of elaborate masks exuding the perfect combination of beauty and beast. Oh, what a wild night.

Classic Calligraphy

There is something so simply striking about a wedding invitation done in classic calligraphy. I recently came across this gorgeous one done by one of my favorite calligraphers, Stephanie Fishwick. For those of you who are not planning a wedding, she also creates gorgeous custom return address stamps! I just cannot get enough.

Amy Berry Nursery

Because we are moving this week and in the new place Beau's nursery will be substantially larger, I have been perusing Pinterest looking at nursery decor ideas again. I came across this gorgeous baby girl's nursery done by interior designer, Amy Berry (I adore her work!). If I ever have a girl, I'd love to replicate this. The mix of traditional, with sweet monograms, and modern, with the lucite crib is absolute perfection.

Put a Bow on It

The entire Chanel Pre-Fall 2015 Presentation held in Salzburg was utterly exquisite, but what truly turned heads were the gorgeous black satin ribbons in the models' hair. I am eager to re-create this look I used to don so often as a little girl. There is something truly sleek and chic about it.

Clean Slate

I love how refreshing it feels to start a new year. Having a clean slate. It often inspires me to revert back to the classics in my wardrobe. There is nothing more chic than sticking to the tried and true staples like this perfect navy peacoat or a crisp white button down.
