AERIN x ARossGirl

My dear friend and ex office-mate Amanda Ross, editor of ARossGirl, is the queen of cool collaborations and her collection with Aerin Lauder is no exception—it’s perfection. This floral dress, especially, is lovely.

‘Robert Rauschenberg: Among Friends’

This spring there’s been an abundance of must-see exhibitions in NYC. And yet, when the announcement for the opening this Sunday of Robert Rauschenberg: Among Friends at MoMA hit my inbox, I got very excited—this is right up my alley.

And, Just Like That, It’s Hot

From sweaters to sundresses overnight — even though it’s mid May, the first really hot day always throws me. At least the sales are starting and I can get into the summer spirit without breaking the bank.

Chris Cornell

Chris Cornell, lead singer of 90s grunge band Soundgarden, died today and my heart is truly broken. I’ve been listening to the track “Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart” from his 2015 album Higher Truth—it’s just so beautiful.

At First Blush

The Khaite image got me thinking about blusher—Charlotte Tilbury makes some of the best.

Lovely Khaite

My friend sent me this lovely image from Khaite—it’s actually a quick video. Thx, Gigi.

Spring Reading Trifecta

Three of my favorite authors have new books out—a spring reading trifecta.

Anything Is Possible by Elizabeth Strout, Saints for All Occasions by J. Courtney Sullivan, Trajectory by Richard Russo.

“The Drifter”

Lucinda Chambers’ styling in the June issue of British Vogue makes me love this skirt length all the more.

Breaking The Rules

I have a “homemade gifts only” policy for my birthday and Mother’s Day, however, this year my daughter surprised me with peonies and a book by one of my favorite chefs. They are such thoughtful presents, I’m giving her a pass on breaking the rules.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Lashfood

My friend swears by Lashfood products, especially the mascara. I’m going to test drive the ‘Lash Transformation System’ and will let you know.
