Mr. Ed becomes a trend...

I did not grow up riding horses. I can count on one hand the amount of times I have ever been on a horse. I avoid the carriage-heavy areas at Central Park because quite honestly the horses reek and yet I am one hundred percent in love with the horse photography out there today. Bizarre? Probably. Stunning? Absolutely!

Bag Crush: Chloé

I think I have finally moved on from my Mulberry bag crush (maybe!). The Chloé Paraty Python bag is to die for...unfortunately, the price is insanity so this will also be a bag I lust after from afar.

Mix and Match

Check out a great article from the NYT Styles section on how to mix and match prints! One of my "go to" pairings is stripes with florals. For a little spice you can add a dash of animal print - everything looks better with a little leopard! A skinny belt, ballet flats, or a scarf..leopard goes a long way.

I will post some outfit ideas later, but check out the article when you have a chance. Print Mixology: http://nyti.ms/9t52CD

Crushing on Carey

I saw these images of Carey Mulligan online from her Interview magazine shoot and thought they were absolutely gorgeous.

Carey Mulligan has quickly become a style icon and is frequently compared to Audrey Hepburn, which seems very apropos as she is rumored to be playing Eliza Doolittle in Emma Thompson's remake of My Fair Lady. I first took notice of Carey in An Education, a truly great film. I would highly recommend it to anyone, it is full of strong performances (notably Carey and Peter Sarsgaard) and a story that will tug at the heartstrings. I plan on purchasing it soon to add to my stash of old standbys and you should too. Click here to buy, you will not be disappointed!

A+ for Anthro...

The Anthropologie catalogue is always very well done (just like their stores!) and I saw some great dining and serving pieces that can spice up any meal...

I am obsessed with the "From the Deep" dinnerware- the octopus and puffer salad plates are too adorable!

For the garden devotees, the "Backyard Rows" mugs and "Plucked Petals" measuring spoons are for you.

Totally unnecessary, but necessary at the same time - "beach find bottles."
