Outfit of the Day

Inspired by Milton & King Waratah Medley Wallpaper

  • Top: We are in the final warm days of fall, let’s get one more wear out of this timeless navy vest from Veronica Beard. A fashion-forward take on the vest. The Orlinda is defined by a collared halter silhouette while tortoiseshell buttons down the center and on the welt pockets offer decorative touches.

  • Bottom: High-waisted amber cognac trousers from Tory Burch. The tailored mélange pant is lightweight with a relaxed silhouette. A versatile separate to wear year-round that allows for ease of movement during design consultations and client meetings.

  • Footwear: Sling backs with square toe and straps that wrap around the foot from Fendi in the color of the season. The lower heel provides comfort for long hours on your feet while maintaining a polished appearance.

  • Accessories: The Kira Diamond Quilt Satchel from Tory Burch is irresistibly soft with blown-up diamond quilting. Wear the curb chain strap doubled over the shoulder or long and crossbody, offering ample space for design materials and personal items. The Bow earrings from Oscar de la Renta feature a polished goldtone bow suspending a dangling drop pearl with glittering crystal detailing.

This combination is practical yet stylish, allowing for seamless transitions between meetings, site visits, and creative brainstorming sessions.

Summer Dreaming (…and scheming)

I’m digging my heels in as the end of the summer is fast approaching .  Inspired by this JELLY FISH BLOOM in coral and turquoise wallpaper from Thibaut, I curated a small collection of items to keep the summer dreaming going long past August.

While I adore our home, I can’t stop thinking that adding a pool would be the icing on the cake and, of course, along with dreaming up a pool, I have already designed the perfect pool house bathroom. This Thibaut wallpaper is the epitome of chic and whimsical, and the perfect backdrop for the simple design of this mirror and vanity, both from Oomph. If you aren’t familiar with Oomph, let me introduce you…their products are available in a wide variety of colors, and can also be customized to any color making them an ideal option for many projects. Last but certainly not least, these fantastic Serena and Lily sconces are absolutely to die for!

Until my pool comes to frution, I’ll continue to pack up my kids to swim elsewhere. While the items in this collection aren't revolutionary, they are reliable favorites.

  • The LL Bean Boat and Tote bag is my go-to choice for the pool, beach, or any outing. Its simple design and generous capacity make it perfect for carrying a family's worth of towels, and its durability ensures it lasts year after year.

  • I prefer drinking from glass bottles, and the silicone cover on this one helps it withstand inevitable drops.

  • Sunscreen is always in my bag, even though I'm not the best at applying it regularly.

  • Now that my kids are old enough to play with friends in the water, I finally have time to indulge in a good beach read.
