Color Combination Crush - Aqua & Cobalt

The other day my niece asked me my favorite color. I immediately shouted out blue but even these stylish little ladies asked for a more specific shade of blue {they were making me a friendship bracelet} which had me thinking about two colors I have been particularly drawn to as of late. Personally any shade of blue is ok in my book but I am particularly loving cobalt and aqua in its every form. I especially have been adoring the two hues together. Doesn't it just scream summertime and dining by the seaside??? Check out what I think would be a great way to entertain and what to wear with these two fabulous colors!


one - this glazed ceramic vase boasts a subtle design that makes mixing with other tabletop patterns easy breezy. I would obviously choose big blooms of blue or white hydrangea's to fill the vase with.

two - change how you think about table linens by selecting an oversized linen towel or throw for the base of your table setting. 

three - without being too matchy-matchy this pitcher and tumbler set provides just a hint of color without being too overpowering. 

four - I am completely smitten with these petite sea salt pouches, they would be such a pretty favor to give your guests from a fabulous soiree or dinner party. 

five - this parting seas platter is not only pretty for serving delicious snacks, it would also make an incredible diy or even be gorgeous on display with other blue and white dishes.

six - growing up my mom always collected salt & pepper shakers so I always love to include them on my tables when entertaining. 

seven - mixed striped napkins add a little whimsy to your table with this well curated set. 

eight - change up your everyday cutlery with a modern painted bamboo set for casual dining.  

nine & ten - busier patterns work great in placemats as you can tone down the look with more subdued patterns on dishes & bowls.

Weekend Wear - Spring Essentials

Inspired by yesterday's post on style icons, I thought I would build a little list of some great wardrobe essentials come warmer weather. It's safe to say every woman has a little black dress in their closet that is their go to for any last minute events but what about a little white dress? The little Tibi number below is timeless in its classic silhouette and appropriate hem length. It's perfectly paired with a simple "go with everything" necklace and neutral sandal. Striped tee's, white denim and a great trench go without saying but of course I had to include three that I love. A gauzy tunic with a little sparkle embellishment will always be a favorite of mine along with the a simple thong sandal along with a black one piece for swimwear, something that will never go out of style. Everyday walking flats an essential tote in a great grey color, aviators, red lipstick and a nice watch will perfectly accessorize any spring look effortlessly.

Seeing Spots


Growing up I was obsessed with polka dots. When I was gifted a room makeover for my 12th birthday I went with a complete black and white dot theme. Instead of circles I chose tiny black square dots on white wallpaper, with matching bedding, modern clean lined furniture and a black matte metal bed. Looking back the wallpaper & bedding was a bit of overkill and a tad dizzying but it looks like the pattern is here to stay for the spring and summer seasons. I love throwing on a dress in the warmer months, it's so easy to look put together at all times with little effort. The flowy hem keeps the look casual enough to dress down with wedges or a flat sandal. I personally love an oversized sunny and of course it wouldn't be me without a big statement necklace adorning the look!

Weekend Wear - Deja Vu???

I thought I would do a weekend wear post recycling some items from another post that I did when I started this series. It's important to recognize that creating outfits with new items each week is fun and a good tool for inspiration for creating your own personal look but it's also important to know how to reuse what you may already own and wear it from season to season. So I reused items featured on this blog more then once and created an entirely new outfit by swapping out jeans for a skirt and pumps for wedges  Two classic items that would get a lot of mileage in your wardrobe through Spring & Summer. I just love the look below for mixing all different sized stripes and yet not looking like the hamburglar.

Shopbop Spring Shopping Event


I don't know about you but my wardrobe is in desperate need of some refreshing and when there is a good sale like this one it's hard to resist the urge to not buy a few new things despite the weather still being frigid here in Boston. A few items in my shopping bag are below but I will likely narrow it down to a single item so I don't have to eat ramen for the rest of the month. 

What items are you craving in anticipation for the warmer weather???

Dying over Elizabeth & James embellished sweatshirt jacket, I would live in this all spring. The perfect neutral color adorned with gold studs that would go with everything in the closet. A dressed up Juicy Couture tee in navy lace will pair perfectly under blazers or stand alone with jeans. I have long been coveting these over-sized Ray-Ban Wayfarers, I might have to finally purchase. Layering necklaces is easy breezy thanks to this Alexis Bittar beauty. A comfortable Kors Michael Kors wedge that will make your legs look longer and be comfortable for walking around - yes please! Mixing stripes and patterns in one easy look with this Nanette Lepore stunner. Can easily be dressed up with a blazer and sandals or down with flip flops.
