Heat Wave!

  Oh man… it is hot outside! Lydia and I shot these photos last week in the middle of the worst heat wave (which seems to be still going strong!!) You can find me hibernating in my air conditioned, ice box of a studio apartment until further notice.

Gray Combo.

  This weekend was the best. It actually felt long, which is rare for me – usually, weekends go by in what feels like a blink and I’m left wondering where the days went.

Weekend Reading.

Hello, weekend! This week was really, really nice. I had a few plans, but did a better job managing my time and felt a lot more relaxed as a result.

My Top Ten Hostess Gifts.

Clockwise from top left: The Big Book of Chic // Coco Coco Candle // Monogrammed Coasters // Giraffe at Home Throw Blanket // Wood + Marble Cheese Board // Santal 26 Candle // Striped Shirt Matches // Veuve Clicquot // Reiko Kaneko Lip Tease Mug // AERIN Soap This time of year my calendar is packed with either weekend trips to visit friends and loved ones, or housewarming parties (Is it just me, or does everyone I know have an 8/1 or 9/1 lease!) For that reason, today we are rounding up the best hostess gifts!
