Success

I have a slight problem. I obsess over things. And not just dinner menus, or boys, or what I want to be when I grow up but really big things like finding the perfect denim shirt. Since last summer, I have tried on, ordered, and returned nearly a dozen. But then, success! Last Friday while taking a little stroll during my lunch break I stopped into a new little boutique on the island and found it… the perfect denim/chambray shirt. Good things really do come to those who wait! This little Rory Beca number is perfect. I fashioned it yesterday with my go-to white jeans, my favorite fedora, and some simple gold necklaces. This will most certainly be my go-to early summer outfit. Couldn’t be happier!

*Update: Looks like I made this week’s Mahon about Town!

A Little Light

I always have candles lit. Something about the soft glow of light just puts my mind at ease. A friend recently asked me to send along some favorites. Thought you might enjoy my list too!

– Diptyque Baies – My all-time favorite candle. The scent is perfection – a bouquet of roses and black current leaves. A little pricey but well worth it, I promise!

– Sundari Amrus – I discovered this candle a few years ago on a visit to one of my favorite NYC spots, ABC Carpet & Home. Inspired by the Indian desert called Amrus, this candle is infused with scents of chilled mango pulp and fresh basil. And a fun little note, Sundari is product line created by Christy Turlington. I wonder if this is Ed Burn’s favorite candle too?!

– Illume Mediterranean – What I love about this candle is not only the scent but the packaging. The geometric glass candle holder is one that I continue to use even after my candle burns out. To get the wax out, simply put in the freezer for a day and it pops right out. It becomes the perfect container for all my make-up brushes.

– Paddywax Ocean Tide and Sea Salt – My most recent discovery. This candle is a Nantucket summer in a jar.

What are some of your favorites? Would love to hear!

Do you all know Hugo Guinness? What creative genius! I was first introduced to Mr. Guinness at the John Derian shop in NYC, where I stopped in my tracks when I laid my eyes upon his “beautiful” print. Gosh, I hope this is mine one day! While catching up on some light reading this evening, I came across this little video, which made my day. And hearing this quote, ” “We forgive all of our friends who make us laugh, don’t we?” I couldn’t agree more!

Spring in My Step

Shoes

I am in desperate need of some new shoes. Here are a few I’m eyeing:

– I am a huge fan of Loeffler Randall and these Luella Mignon sandals in electric purple are at the top of my wish list. Would go just perfect with my favorite white shirt/blue jean combo, don’t you think?

– One of my go-to spring/summer shoes has always been a pair of espadrille’s and this pair from Calypso are spot on.

– All winter I was searching for the perfect black booties and lucky for me I finally found them just in-time for spring. These Rag & Bone are on their way to me now and I can’t wait to pair them with my black shorts and Joie lace top. A little edgy for this island girl!

– The ballet flat is a staple in my closet and these little beauties from Aerin Lauder’s new line are a welcome addition indeed. Will pair perfectly with my sundress collection.

– One for one… yes, please! The classic Tom’s slip-on in festive pink… will live in these this spring!

My Favorite Look

jeans and white shirt
I just love this look. The simplicity of a beautiful white blouse with crisp jeans… if I had to pick a uniform, it would surely be this! When I saw this photo of Miranda Brooks in January’s Vogue I thought, perfection. A little classic… a little boho… what I strive to be!

Here are a few of my favorite white blouse finds along with my go-to denim choices.
– Saw this top in April’s InStyle. With turquoise beads… my summer go-to.
– Diane outdid herself again with this little beauty.
– J.Crew has been hitting it out the park with their recent collection… love this lace top.
– My favorite jeans!
– Some of the best skinny jeans I have tried.

Hope you all have a lovely first weekend of Spring!
