Jonathan Adler Store on Greenwich Ave.

 While I was running round yesterday getting last minute 
To-Do's done for my trip, I stopped at Sephora, where I left with a basket of new makeup and a new moisturizer I am obsessed with. Its called Hourglass, Veil. It is amazing, and also SPF 15!  It is so soft and not at all greasy or slimy which is exactly why I have never liked moisturizers in the past.

Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15

I think i'm hooked. (Click HERE for link)
I'll let you know is a week if I am not using it anymore, 
which is my usual pattern, but I think this one is a keeper.

So... As I was leaving I saw the new Jonathan Adler store that I thought was a pop up shop for the holidays but it looks like its here to stay, Which I am very happy about.

I fell in love with these two Mongolian sheepskin benches:



And went home with this fun 
"Hollywood Duchess" Bag that will be great for my trip!
What do you think?

Style Tip from Tory Burch: The Flat Boot

I love this look posted on the Tory Burch Blog. 
I am usually not a fan of large logo's but this one 
isnt bothering me.

The look: A timeless flat boot. Perfect for fall.
Style Tip: Elevate the casual: slip the Selma Riding Boot over your skinny corduroys. Or wear them with opaque tights and a pleated skirt.

Marc Jacobs Resort 2012
Favorite designers… Proenza Schouler, Erdem and Alexander Wang.

Personal style quirks
… I hate to have too many clothes! I prefer to have a few great things that I wear a lot, than a lot of things that I wear very little. Quality not quantity is my motto!

Favorite item of clothing… A Proenza Schouler blazer. Whatever else I have on underneath always looks amazing.

Your next must have purchase… An Alexander Wang clutch, Giambattista Valli pantsuit, and an Eddie Borgo cuff
Moda Operandi
Emanuel Ungaro Resort
Best fashion advice from your mother…  Don't wear florals when on a boat. Stripes are better.

Favorite spot to shop on the Avenue… Dighton Rhode has great brands and great selection

Heels or flats? I have loosened my "Heels Always" rule since having a baby.

Favorite piece of mom gear… I received a custom Proenza Schouler PS1 diaper bag from the designers, it's the chicest thing I own!

What talent would you most like to possess? An ear for language is something i would love to possess.

What is the one thing in life that you cannot live without? My iPhone!

Currently reading..  I am a big reader! House of Mirth by Edith Wharton; The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris by David McCullough; Art Lover: A Biography on Peggy Guggenheim by Anton Gill.

What's on your iPod? New music; Ford & Lopatin, Best Coast & Peaking Lights

I spend my weekends… with my new baby! He is growing so fast I want to treasure every minute!

Favorite thing to do when visiting Greenwich
… I like to visit Abigail Fox Designs in Old Greenwich. She is a childhood friend with whom I share a passion for books and beautiful things! Her selection is fabulous! Then I would get some Garden Caterers to go, and have a picnic at one of my many favorite spots at Tod Point.

Building The Ultimate Closet with Lauren Santo Domingo by Goop

One of my the blogs I enjoy is Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. I thought it would be fun to share her latest post entitled "Building The Ultimate Closet with Lauren Santo Domingo" Enjoy...

Moda Operandi’s Lauren Santo Domingo’s guide to this spring’s trends:

  1. Stripes: The ubiquitous sailor stripe is not going anywhere. Stella McCartney started with a shift toward bigger, bolder stripes last fall and Prada firmly staked this trend in fashion history. Big bold stripes in jarring colors are the way to go, and the really daring will wear stripes with other stripes, patterns and lots of color. (P.S., get on this trend right away, because NEXT season is all about the polka dot!)

  2. Clutch: The It-bag is now the Was-bag. Get out your dust covers and store those big caryalls. The fashion flock this season was tucking their cellphones, Chanel lipsticks and fashion show invites into minimalist clutches for day. The bold and the beautiful are leaning towards clutches of similar description. Celine is offering cobalt blue, yelllow and orange. (Extra-credit: This Cobalt blue is THE go-to color for Spring!)

  3. Full Skirt: Worn by day, the long skirt—whether full or pleated—is completely at ease anywhere. I like to see this silhouette paired with flats; the juxtaposition of the two make it a more casual and languid look. Wear with an oversized blazer, a belted cardigan or even a bomber jacket to complete the look.

  4. Neon: Many fashion insiders compare Fashion Weeks to a traveling circus.... This season, the colors definitely resemble the Big Top. This trend is for the girl who does not want to wear the ubiquitous camel this season, for the girl who can just cross ‘minimalist’ off her to-do list ... only she’ll use a highlighter to do so ...

    Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com
  5. Accessories: Costume jewelry is having a moment. It seems that Coco Chanel’s old adage to “take one thing off before you leave the house” has been replaced by "put everything on before you leave the house.” And please, while you are at it, do break all the rules and mix big and small. Gold and silver. Costume with fine.House of Lavande and Eddie Borgo are great spots for costume jewelry.

  6. Statement Sandals: Losing the platform is about as liberating as it gets. This summer will mean a vacation from those turbo, sky-high shoes that tortured feet for seasons past. This spring, one can lean towards high heel sandals with kick but without having to lean against something for balance. What a novel idea!

    Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com
  7. Red Lips: Move over stains and gloss. Lipstick is having a moment. Ditch your mother's lip liner, though. I recommend taking some time to try out the best shade for you. The red lips, like the girl who wears them, are never boring.

    Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com
  8. Power Suits: Men’s suiting does not mean wearing neutrals and tweed (although don’t get me wrong, that will NEVER go out of style) but this season’s suiting is more high voltage. Colorful pants and jackets are to be mixed and matched.

    Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com
  9. Throw Some Shade: For me, nothing signals the start of spring more than sunglasses! And if ever there was a season for sunnies this is it. And anything goes ...

    Tommy Ton / trunkarchive.com
  10. The Best Accessory: A Smile!: Just remember, you are never fully dressed without a smile!! Here, Arizona Muse, the breakout model from this season, shows us how it’s done.
