Brocade Home

A wise man once said, "dang girl, you get a lot of catalogs." It's true, I do. And only because I make sure I recycle all of them, I love it!

My most recent unexpected catalog is my new favorite - brocade home. Snazzy damask wallpaper, intricate headboards and crystal chandeliers? Sold.

And, they have a blog!

Jet Set in Style

Speaking of Tory Burch, her Weekender with lemon patent trim is fab.

Attainable Tory Burch

Need a Tory Burch fix, but don't want to drop a cool $200 on a pair of her coveted ballet flats? Try her Geometric print flip flops in a slew of "cool" shades from NET-A-PORTER.

Sunset Grill, Hilton Head SC

You ain't...I mean...you haven't seen a Carolina sunset until you discover the Sunset Grille in Hilton Head, SC. "Discover," because it's a bit of a scavenger hunt to find, tucked discretely behind an RV park, atop an unassuming dock house on the north side of the island.

After you fill up on the southern-style smoked seafood platter, you must try the lamb shank and save room for the bread puddin' for dessert. Well worth the calories and subsequent guilt the next day.

Hilton Head

Enough said.

If Soap Was Sexy

Only Tom Ford could make soap sexy. His new Cleansing Bar, for Men is scented with the Tom Ford fragrance, sleek in design and convenient (because of the rope, of course).

Kiehl's Kissable Lips

My absolute favorite lip balm from Kiehl's is now available in three limited edition flavors: Pear, Cranberry and Mint.

Sleep "Tight"

How "tight" are these sleep masks by Cris Notti? Even better, these are only three of more than 60 patterns to choose from and they're only $20 each.

Sandals with a Kick

Beautiful Ralph Lauren Collection Mimi Suede Rosette Sandal made with metallic suede and a snazzy fuchsia rose.

Baby Wants Candy

Another sweet treat - an envelope wallet from Hobo in Wasabi.

A Little Arm Candy

In doing a little window shopping for handbags, I came across this snazzy little turquoise number from Miu Miu at Net-A-Porter that I do adore!

Lovely Bikini

As I gear up for Hilton Head, I "heart" Zimmermann's Avalon heart link bikini with delicate detailing and precious ties.

Pink is the New Chic

The epitome of party skirts - Moschino Cheap & Chic's pink sequin skater skirt - is truly fabulous paired with a simple white t-shirt and those trusty nude pumps.

Instant Wall Decor

Ready to "hang" vinyl stickers from IKEA.

Swoon

Ah, this gingham tie from J. Crew just puts a smile on my face.

Take Heed: TOPSHOP is Coming

Precious silk French Knickers from British shopping sensation TOPSHOP, which I might add, sells about "30 pairs of knickers a minute" and "6,000 pairs of jeans a day."

TOPSHOP is descending on SoHo in New York this fall.

The Wolf is Tamed

The Empreinte du Loup collection from Berluti brings men closer to nature and allows them to leave their mark - literally - with wolf tracks. They said it best, "Trace your path, leave your tracks, dance with the wolves."

Available at Barneys.

Want Longer Legs? Go Nude!

The best way to elongate your legs is with a sophisticated pair of neutral pumps and these Marc By Marc Jacobs Patents are certainly ideal.

Gold Rush x2

After a certain thrifty and fabulous someone made a recent appearance on Oprah wearing beautiful hues of gold, I adore the Chanel Fall pallet by Peter Philips, the new creative director of makeup. Full line is due in July.

For My Homies

Sometimes I wonder why I am drawn to certain things. Oh well, I like this "Stolen" t-shirt by Paste and I gotta tell ya'll about it.

Another New Obsession

This Spotlight Clutch by Maison Martin Margiela is stunning and incredibly sophisticated. Speaking of head turning, how fly is this mini with photo print unicorns? Of course, it's already sold out on my fave site, Net-A-Porter.

Sun Goddess

If only I had somewhere to go in this Emilio Pucci Nirvana Sun Gown.

Geometric Shift

A grid print dress by karta. Derby day with a big black hat?

Ruffled Once Again

Another ruffle top by cassis. Oh how I adore the opulence of sweet ruffles.

Buttoned Up!

I love these Shipley & Halmos boxers with tiny button patch enclosures.

People Mag, Here I Come!

After making reservations for lunch at The Ivy in L.A., I must admit, I considered cancelling for fear of being cliché, passé and trendy all at once. However, it turned out to be beautiful, charming and absolutely delicious. I also decided that someday, I must have a lush outdoor patio with umbrellas, wicker furniture and big flowery pillows.

p.s. No celebrity spottings. Just a Brook Hogan look-a-like with an attitude.

Work it Vera

How sophisticated and stylish is this Simply Vera Wang dress from Kohl's of all places? Apparently others feel the same, because it's no longer available online.

A Miracle

How did it take a wacky reality TV show like American Inventor to find the perfect bra for backless looks? The Breakthrough Backless Bra is finally here ya'll.

Gold Rush

With the power of the dollar falling, gold is certainly the way to go. Comme des Garçons has captured the scent in their latest fragrance, 8 88, featuring pepperwood, saffron, curcuma, coriander, geranium and amber.

Pretty in Pink

This Milly dress is pretty much me wrapped up in a bow. Ruffles, popped collar, a bow and pink.
