Quote of the Day

Happy Friday peeps! I hope you all have fabulous weekend plans. I planned a girls weekend for my sister, Lulu, and I. We're going to shop and getting our nails done Saturday and going to a fun dinner and then brunch and a movie on Sunday (and perhaps a spin class...). I usually go home for a day on the weekends during the summer to escape the city's heat but I am so excited to stay put and enjoy the warm weather for a change.

Kitchen Bar stools

After 7 years of living in their house, my parents (let's be serious, my mom) are just getting around to doing some decorating in the family room and kitchen. After re-doing the kitchen earlier this year, it's time for some new bar stools. My mom asked for some ideas so naturally I turned to Pinterest for a little inspiration.The kitchen is all white with black granite counter tops and the family room is being done in blue tones and neutrals. I prefer stools with backs but I do love the look of backless ones. Any ideas? Any favorites?

Mid-Summer Wishlist

It's all about transitional pieces this late in the summer as pre-fall is out and we're starting to see sneak peaks of fall collections which are certainly getting me excited for the leaves to turn! Some items on my wishlist:

1. A drapey blouse -  the kind of shirt you don't think to buy but then have and wear forever. This AIR by Alice + Olivia blouse comes in black and tan. I prefer black

2. A transitional long dress - to dress up or down. I love this Rory Beca navy beauty.

3. A relaxed leather and jersey jacket - I've been searching for the perfect black leather jacket that doesn't look too "biker chick" and this one just might be the one for me. If only it wasn't $800... Helmut Lang just does it for me.

4. Gold coin pendant necklace- my grandmother, Mimi,  had an old coin of hers put on a gold chain and it looks good with everythingggg.This one by Julie Vos won't cost you an arm and leg and is super cute. I'm guilty of purchasing it...

5. A bright printed dress in a girly silhouette. This Nicholas one fits the bill and how cute is it with those neon strappy heels??
 
6. A transitional scarf - because you can never have too many and this print and color are so cute.

7. Strappy tribal sandals - These Rachel Roy ones are so fun

8. Perfect bag - I thought my cravings for this Chloe Marcie bag would go away after I got the Philip Lim Pashli satchel but they haven't. They're back and stronger than ever for fall!!

Fashion Crush of the Day: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Does anyone have better "off-duty" style than model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley?? I didn't know it was possible to look that good and effortless every single day. With basics ranging from leather pants to fedoras to jeans and t-shirts, RHW can do no wrong. She has the best bags, booties and sunglasses. She is someone that I would trade closets with in a heartbeat. The day I look that good coming off of an airplane is .... never!
