FAVORITES

I'm super lazy when it comes to applying make-up. However, when I find a product that's super easy AND does a perfect job, I'm all in. I may be late to the party, but Chanel nailed it with Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint. Perfect coverage + perfect glow.

I must be honest; I've been struggling with my blog. I love to write, I also love to share secret sources, travel tips and obsessions.

So, I decided to pivot and re-introduce this blog to be content driven. Sure, sometimes it will be about furniture, lord knows I'm obsessed with it, but also fashion, food, places and spaces. And, anything else I endorse and think you'll love.

So, stay tuned, I've got a lot to say.

Fragrance is my second skin and I adore edgy, masculine scents. Bo, by Liis, which according to its female founders, "evokes a coastal forest," with redwood pine, cedar, incense & vanilla. Tobacco Toscano, by Santa Maria Novella is equally compelling, think tobacco, leather, cedarwood and vanilla, the perfect woody bouquet.

The vibes are similar, but each stand very tall on their own. Perfection.

I tend to stick to neutrals and always consider metallics one of them. Whether in jewelry, fabric, or metal, they attract the eye, a touch of sparkle goes a long way. So, when I went down a rabbit hole searching for the perfect pair of socks, I spied these, and they’re a 10.

Wear with Birkenstocks, ballet flats and even kitten heels. These delicate ankle socks add a twinkle. The devil is in the details, and the price point... spot on.

Bo by Liis
Love this slightly masculine edgy scent, my absolute fave.

La DoubleJ
For someone who shies away from prints, somehow I adore this one, I already have the pants and this dress is screaming, "wear me to a party"

A diehard fan for years, this new style in dark chocolate is divine.

Susanna Salk
Luxe cream from Positano made in Italy by my dear friend.

My parents are avid readers and encouraged me to delve into books for as long as my memory stands. I consider it a tremendous gift and thank them often. During hideous adolescent moments, commiserating with characters and escaping into another world was my saving grace. Here are a few fiction beauties, I’ll save real life for later.

• Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro
• Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
• Horse by Geraldine Brooks
• Night Circus by Erin Morganstern

Happy August.
