This sweet summer skirt reminds me of something Alexis Bledel wore in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. (She spent the summer visiting her grandparents in Greece, and her wardrobe consisted of casual yet ladylike pieces. Or so I’ve heard, anyway.) I’d pair it with a white button down or something else […]
I have fond memories of my first lunchbox. A few days before first grade, I hand-picked a glorious yellow Cabbage Patch Kids number from among the rows of Snoopys, Smurfs, and Barbie Dolls. Sadly, I’m not sure where that lunchbox is now, but I have a worthy replacement these days. The […]
Chock full of natural ingredients, including (duh) passion fruit oil, this body scrub smells delish. Blend up a daiquiri, grab a book and use it in the tub. Then close your eyes and pretend you’re at a tropical spa. If you have a good imagination (and the daiquiri is made correctly) this […]
In a time when bling is so ubiquitous that even babies and dogs are rocking it, these delicate citrine and sterling silver earrings are a refreshing alternative. No offense to Diddy, but you can still make a statement without literally spelling it out in diamonds.

I love the bold navy trim and tie-neck top of this sweet suit. I’d advise against pairing it with the anchor duffel below, however. You’ll look like you’re ready to hop on a Schwinn with red white and blue crepe paper in the spokes for the Fourth of July parade. Unless you […]
This patriotic, nautical-inspired duffel probably feels most at home on the beach in Nantucket or at a clam bake on the Cape. But that won’t stop me from toting it around Manhattan. Whatever, it’s an island too.

This cotton poplin/spandex shirt with a stand collar screams “I’m refined” but not in a “I’m better than you” way. I’d love it with khaki-colored linen trousers and a pair of high wedges.

I’m always game for pretty products that look just as good on the shelf as they do when I finally break them open. That’s why I’m stocking up on these handmade bars from Sprout Home. The thick blocks of color come in cucumber, gardenia, verbena and mint and are wrapped in vintage wallpaper.

You’ve got your vanilla. You’ve got your rose. Your mango-peach-papaya numbers are multiplying like crazy and that lavender-infused one with bergamot, tuberose, opoponax and a hint of tonka bean hasn’t been opened in ages, but no collection is complete without Junk Food’s Rootbeer Float Nourishing Body Lotion. It’s simple, it works and it smells […]
After some serious searching, I think I’ve finally found the perfect summer handbag. This cute carryall has it all—crochet craftsmanship, creative design, magnetic closure, interior pockets and, at the top of my list, it can actually hold my wallet, keys, a book and cell phone without popping at the seams or looking like lug-worthy […]
