More Mara

I am a little late to this launch but still felt it was worth sharing. We all know New York designer Mara Hoffman for her bold prints and colors in fashions but what was news to me was that earlier this month she launched her first home collection exclusively at Anthropologie. I have long been a fan of her tribal prints in a slew of eye catching colors and love the pieces that she has created to amp up color in the home {something I need desperately to do in the future}. Her kaleidoscope style prints are the epitome of bohemian chic. 

The oversized floor pillows are awesome for added seating in a living room as well as a super stylish puppy bed. I adore the pyramid shaped candle and would totally keep the vessel well after the wax had burned for trinkets and such. The bold bedding is perfectly coordinated patterns without being too loud. The neutral grey curtains are subtle and totally my speed - big surprise there. While the journals are such a pretty addition to desk or nightstand.

Tunic Time

Tunics are one of those wardrobe staples that I always turn too for an effortlessly chic look. While in Nantucket, I lived in this sparkly Lilly Pulitzer number and most recently I gifted this lovely tunic in navy for my fabulous sisters birthday {the higher sides of this shirt keep it from looking like maternity wear}.  This loose fitting styled blouse pairs well with skinny jeans for a dressier look as well as shorts for a day time outing or can stand alone as a coverup for a summer day on the beach. I personally love the style every time of year wearing over leather pants {also seen here} and or with destroyed skinny denim with killer heels. It might be that I am disguising my german hips but I also feel comfortable and stylish whenever I wear them, which has me curious...what do you think of this style?

Winter Getaway

Now that Christmas is over and the prettiness of the holidays will be removed from the city, I often find myself dreaming up of warmer climates When my husband and I often talk about our past travels we always agree that St. Barth's was our favorite destination. This petite enchanted island not only has amazing beaches and hotels but incredible dining and shopping too without losing it's caribbean appeal. We loved renting a small convertible and driving to the islands peaks for it's stunning views or sitting on St. Jean's beach to watch the coming and going of the planes. The attire on the island is always chic yet relaxed and from what I shared here, you can get a sense of the the island style. However, if I were packing for a trip to my favorite place on earth, the below would most certainly be in my bag!
