After the major snow storm on the east coast last weekend, it feels like there’s no end in sight when it comes to winter! I’m sure there’s plenty more snow in store for us as well so in the meantime, I’ve rounded up a few pretty little things to make this cold weather much more manageable. Below is my current winter wish list! Let’s break it down, shall we?
This Chloe bag is EVERYTHING. It’s a definite wish list item that can easily take you through spring. I’m really into Ivanka’s shoe and boot collection at the moment and these heels would look perfect with jeans or dresses. This striped cashmere sweater is chic. When I first came across these sunglasses I originally thought they were Illesteva – Pysch! You can pick them at Nordstrom for only $60 dollars. Yes, please. This navy tank is great for layering and also a piece that you can certainly wear come spring. Pair it with these tassel earrings and you’ll be the best dressed. Las but not least I found my next weekender bag. Isn’t she pretty?
I’ve been a fan of interior designer Thom Filicia for quite some time. I recently came across his latest modern lake house on One Kings Lane blog and had to share!
My parents live on the lake just right outside Cleveland, Ohio so I love seeing how other people design lake houses. In my opinion, lake houses should be fun, relaxed with touches of blue and white of course! The oversized pendant mixed with the modern blue and white chairs in the dinning room makes this room my absolute favorite out of the whole house. The John Robshaw bedding is not to be missed and the small rope details make this home tour a true modern lake house. You can take a peep at the entire home tour right this way.
Ralph Lauren is a legendary designer. He is most well known for running one of the most successful luxury brands in the world in addition to designing beautiful clothes. However, I personally love him for his home collections.
If you have ever stopped by a Ralph Lauren home store (my favorite is in Greenwich, Connecticut), you know how detailed and grande these stores can be. Ralph Lauren originally launched his home collection back in 1983, well before major design houses even launched home furnishing lines taking his vision of a stylish life one step further.
My mom (obviously) was the first to introduce me to the designer and of course we’ve picked up a thing or two from visiting the Ralph Lauren home stores so here are 7 decorating tips we can all steal from the legendary Ralph Lauren!
“My wife, Ricky, and I were shopping for things for our apartment, and all the sheets were very feminine and covered in roses. I wondered, Why can’t I get something masculine? So I took the Oxford cloth we were using to make shirts, turned it into bedding, and sewed buttons down the side of the pillowcases.” – Ralph Lauren to Arch Digest
“I felt like just creating the clothes wasn’t enough,” says Lauren, adding, “It’s all an extension of something I wanted in my life—or my dream life.” – Ralph Lauren to Arch Digest
Five. Investing in coffee table books is never a bad idea.
