Ocean Breathes Salty

Sun, salt, and the sea is what my day is all about now that I've arrived at the beach.

I hope everyone has a chance to soak up the sun today!

What Happens In Vegas

Today I am jet-setting to Vegas to let loose with a handful of my best girlfriends. I can't wait to let my hair down and dance the night away! Cheers to a glitzy glam getaway!

On The Road Again

Hand me a hammock. Tomorrow I am taking flight, first to the Nevada desert and then to the California beaches... I could not be more anxious with excitement!

Isn't Zippy Seven channeling neon cool in these photographs from Bershka's spring/summer 2012 campaign?

French Navy

Blue and white stripes are the most classic looks ever, hands down.

One of the first styling tips I picked up from my style savvy mother was: when in doubt, go with timeless French navy stripes.

With spring break packing in my future, I know I'll be bringing multiple styles of blue and white stripes to throw on at the beach in the afternoon.

Riding A Wave

I am riding a wave this week of a lot of work and no play. However, the shore of freedom (spring break) is approaching with three days to go. Let's hope this is a fast wave!

City Escape: Tabitha Simmons Manhattan Townhouse

Seven years ago this townhouse was an apartment building; however, after multiple renovations, it has evolved into a city escape. I love the clean, open, white spaces with the gorgeous chandeliers. Also, the outside patio calls for a warm summer dinner party.

Picnic Pick-Me-Up

After a long weekend full of fun and all things green, I can't think of a better way to spend today than by having a relaxing picnic with the one I love. Unfortunately, I can only imagine such a picnic but you know what they say... distance makes the heart grow fonder. For now, I am inspired by these images.

The Little Black Jacket

The little black jacket has been a quintessential part of Chanel ever since Coco Chanel designed one herself in the 50s.

Karl Lagerfeld has reinvented the jacket time and time again which explains why he is publishing a book (out this fall) about the jacket. The book is set to be full of beautiful photographs of models and celebrities wearing different black Chanel jackets. You can bet this book will be added to my coffee table book collection!

Take a peak at this video which shows the step-by-step process of creating the iconic black jacket. Lagerfeld calls the jacket "one of the symbols that defines the style of Chanel." This depiction of the jacket's creation, from a sketch by Lagerfeld to the exquisite yet expensive final product, shows you just how special the little black jacket is.

Bows, Bows, Bows

Bows are not just for little schoolgirls. I am still drawn to feminine bows and I still wear them whenever possible. How could I not?

So Twin.

So twin out in Paris. What do you think, is it acceptable for girlfriends to match for a day of shopping and lunching? My opinion: why not?!

Happy matching-knits Monday!
