untitled

I really love the packaging for the Maison Martin Margiela fragrance "Untitled". So clean and simple. The scent is described as "...boxwood, incense, bitter orange...as if they had been gathered after the rain." I don't know what wet incense smells like, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Available, obviously, at the ever-chic Colette.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Hope you're planning on having a fantastic Margarita and some guac to celebrate! Cheers!!

4. A classic staple for her wardrobe.
5. A bit of honey for her morning tea.

I love this article featured in Asos' online magazine. It feels tres french and flirty! I just placed a purchase of some goodies from their Summer sale. Check it out here!

spring petals

I love these simple garden boutonnieres featured on Once Wed. They're perfect for Spring! Which has sprung...at least in my corner of town. Happy Spring! Hope you have your Clairitin!! :)

cracker tracker!

I love these Lily Pulitzer Animal Crackers - the box is too cute! Best of all, you can join the hunt and spot them worldwide using the Cracker Tracker. Clever!

p.s. They're included a box with every online order! Shop here for your own box :)

Molto Bene!

I am LOVING the redesign of Bon Appetit magazine. It's got a more grown-up look and I'm loving the typefaces they used. Plus, how good does that bowl of pomodoro look? YUM. Check out more at bonappetit.com.

meet your match

I love the quirky illustrations in Matchbook - an online magazine started by blogger Katie Armour and her friend.



And I thought their feature on 10 things to do under $10 was very clever. The fresh flowers are my personal fave. I'm a total deli flower junkie!!

groomed to perfection

Mr.Porter has a great post about grooms with groovy style. My personal fave being Mr. Mick Jagger, of course. Can you blame me?

Tilton Fenwick - New Traditional

Anne Maxwell Foster and I were introduced at a mutual friend's cocktail party and immediately hit it off after discovering we're from neighboring towns in Upstate New York (we grew up shopping at the same mall!)

She and her friend Suysel recently started Tilton Fenwick, a burgeoning interior design firm that is going places FAST! This month, Tilton Fenwick was featured in Lonny and is in the running for Trad Home's 20 New Traditionals contest. I love their interpretation of "Country Cosmopolitan" - looks so cozy.









You can vote for them here. Good luck Tilton Fenwick! You deserve it!!
