Killer Color Combo

If anyone knows how to unexpectedly delight it's customers with bold styling decisions it's J.CREW. I must say that at their Fall 2015 Presentation last week, I was most intrigued by their genius idea to combine blush with bright yellow to make a killer combination. Thanks yet again, J.CREW. I will certainly be trying this with my own wardrobe this Spring.

Oscar de la Renta Fall 2015: Black Beauties

The Fall 2015 Collection was Peter Coppings debut as creative director for Oscar de la Renta since the late great designer's passing this October. Everyone was on the edge of their runway seat waiting to see what he would produce and the show was nothing short of exquisite. Coppings was careful to honor de la Renta with traditional "Oscar" elements while also infusing his own vision for the brand. I am not sure if it was because I am still mouring the loss of the designer, but I was absolutely captivated by so many of the pieces in this collection in black. From the delicate lace to the luxurious velvet trims, I just could not get enough of these looks.

I could not think of a more fun collaboration - bespoke Stubbs & Wootton monogrammed slippers with Happy Menocal designs. Available exclusively for pre-order on of my favorite e-tailers, Moda Operandi through March 2nd. For those of you unfamiliar with the New York based artist, Happy Menocal you must check out her gorgeous work, I adore her stationery and custom crests. The designs she created for this collaboration are both witty and whimsical. I particularly love these with a tennis theme. Get them while you can!

NYFW Street Style: Fashionably Freezing

It has been absolutely freezing during NYFW. Thus, the trick to staying chic on the streets is all about the coat. These have been some of my favorite street style looks thus far accented by fabulous fur and warm wool. These ladies have me lusting after this coat (Although, with the 70 degree weather here this past week in San Francisco, I don't have anywhere to wear it!)

Around Valentine's Day each year I am often inspired to infuse the uber feminine combination of pink and white into my wardrobe and home. This year to achieve this look, I'd love to be wearing these gorgeous Oscar de la Renta Tassel Earrings while serving brunch with these beautiful linens.

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.
