Smitten with St. Frank

I am absolutely smitten with the incredible framed handmade textiles company, St. Frank, that my dear friend, Christina Bryant, founded this Fall. She launched this concept because she saw a hole in the marketplace and wanted to find a way to make the beautiful art she found in isolated communities around the world accessible. St. Frank provides a truly unique art option for the chic and cultivated collector as they source gorgeous textiles created by artisans and custom frame them. Their pieces truly make an impact in any room. What is even more amazing is that the company is not only focused on providing magnificent home decor, but also places a huge importance on social responsibility by improving economic independence for artisans around the world. What a win - win! 

Today, I am delighted to be a Tastemaker on the St. Frank website. Look here to see the way I have paired one of their beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces with the bar area in my dining room!

I am thrilled that the palest power pink has been everywhere this season ! I have absolutely been inspired to incorporate this ultra-feminine shade into my wardrobe during the chilliest months as often as possible whether it is through the coziest cashmere sweater or a show-stopping feathered gown.

Lately, I have been majorly crushing on just about all capes. I came across this one on Pinterest and could not believe what a steal it was (only $80!) If you happen to be looking for something a little more luxe, I am also smitten with this cape from Bloomingdales, just gorgeous!

Outfit to Interior: It's all in the Details

There is something so alluring about delicate lace and embroidery that mimics gorgeous crown molding. Is there really anything more beautiful than white on white?

dCc Outfit Obsession: Casual Cool

This outfit is absolutely perfect for a casual weekend in the city. I have been on the hunt for a fabulous fur trimmed toggle coat like that one and have finally found this one from SAM. (amazing!) Paring it with destructed denim and a Chanel bag creates the perfect balance of high low.

Stunning Carolina Herrera Creation

I love how clean and modern, yet classic this San Francisco wedding is. Held at the historic Flood Mansion, the day was lovely, but nothing was as exquisite as the bride's Carolina Herrera gown. She first spotted it in an issue of Town & Country and from that moment it was truly love at first sight.

Smitten with the Swanson Sisters

I must say that I am absolutely smitten with the Swanson sisters. The Bay Area natives split their childhood between life in the city (San Francisco) and country (Napa) and have emerged as truly accomplished women who exhibit the incredible combination of beauty and brains. Each of them have built successful businesses and are truly tastemakers in their own right ...

I am utterly obsessed with this look featured on the fabulous blog, Blame It On Fashion. The proportions are absolutely perfect with the boxy top and flirty skirt. I think it may have to try and re-create this look with this sweatshirt and this skirt.

Can't Get Enough of the Classics

I can never get enough of classic pieces I know I will have in my wardrobe forever like my Cartier watch or Chanel ballet flats. They are more than worth their investment if you calculate their "price per wear". It is always good to remind yourself to continue building these classic pieces in your wardrobe. What are some of the classics in your closet you can't live without?

Nice & Neat with Diptyque

Last week I went on quite the beauty binge at NARS. It is hard to resist when they have so many of my make-up essentials like this illuminator, this brow gel, and this lipgloss. This recent splurge prompted me to better organize my cabinets, and put my old Diptyque candle jars to great use. I love how you can use them long after the actual candle is long gone. What would you put in your Diptyque jars? xx, {images: Pinterest}

Feeling for a Fluffy Bolero

As the weather has started to turn much chillier in recent weeks, I have been tempted to start wearing fluffy fur or feather boleros. I particularly love them in these beautiful neutral tones. How darling is this blush feather one or this Lanvin fur one (such a steal!)
