Dans-La-Main

I recently was introduced to the most amazing site…Dans-La-Main. It is a lifestyle brand started by Interior Designer, Kiki Shilling. Kiki loved using accessories in all of her design projects so much so that she was inspired to create the Dans-La-Main website. Her assortment is curated so perfectly. Kiki works with artisans all over the world to bring her clients the most unique, native craft designs in wearable art. Here are some of my favorite Dans-La-Main items, there are soo many it was impossible to narrow it down. To see the entire assortment, visit the WEBSITE!

Kiki admits to loving all things Bamboo…this cane purse is perfection..it is on my wish list!!!!

I saw Aerin Lauder carrying this bag on a trip to Spain a few summers back. I was on a mad hunt for this gorgeous bag…little did I know Kiki had found it first!!

A Few Summer Wardrobe Must-Haves

It has been a while since I have posted a must-have list…I partnered with Shop Bop to bring you some great looks in dresses and accessories. Since our socializing time is very minimal these days, I thought it makes sense to invest in one or 2 cute dresses and maybe a new pair of earrings and a pair of shoes. Any of these looks would do and they are so perfect you can wear them over and over all summer long….Happy Sunday!!!!

Stoney Clover

Have you heard of Stoney Clover Lane? It is the cutest line of lifestyle and travel accessories to help you stay organized on the go…The company was started by two sisters, Kendall and Libby, who love to “keep things lighthearted and labeled” and offer an assortment of decorative patches, inspired by their love of travel, sports, and beauty, to personalize your own Stoney Clover item for yourself, or for creating gifts to celebrate friendships and milestones. They have also recently collaborated with Love Shake Fancy and are selling fabulous floral, totes, travel bags, and cosmetic bags. The newest Stoney Clover store just opened in East Hampton where my friend’s uber-stylish daughter, Claudia just started working. She sent me some photos of the store and all the great items they are carrying…I cannot wait to go visit. If you are in the EH area stop by and tell Claudia that I sent you..In the meanwhile, check out the Stoney Clover website…it is so hard to choose!! Everything is perfection!!

Shop Bette For Summer

Earlier this year, pre-covid19, I “met” the 2 sweet girls, Hillary and Chris of Shop Bette. They are two besties that love the beach and started Bette to bring vacation vibes to everyone every day, with their adorable beachwear and accessories line. I had big plans for Bette and NS Lifestyles…I was planning on bringing their gorgeous coverups with me to Miami during our Spring Break. But since that never happened Poor Sweet Bette’s post was replaced by at-home DIY’s and recipes and home office decor and fabulous PJ’s. Well, readers, we are starting to get back and beaches and pools are opening and we are ready. Bette is having an amazing sale on all their great items. Here are some of my favorites. AND, LUCKY FOR YOU…..I have partnered with Shop Bette to bring you a summer beach-ready gift bag filled with cover-ups and some fun accessories….If you want to enter, share this post on your Facebook page or Instagram page tagging me @NSLifestyleblog and follow both me and @shopbette. In the meanwhile, check out the Shop Bette site, and check out the sale!!!

Breck and Grier Summer Totes…..

I went today to visit the workroom of my adorable friend Phebe of Breck and Grier. I was so happy to be able to meet face to face and see some new bags that she is working on. Breck and Grier is one of my favorite local companies. I first showcased their incredible straw bags last summer. I immediately fell in love when I saw someone carrying one on Greenwich Ave. If there is one bag you buy this summer, it has to be a Breck and Grier tote. They have the greatest shapes, styles, and sizes and Phebe is so talented. She can paint your favorite island, club flag, stripes, monogram, and custom designs are also available. For more information or to see all of the styles, visit the Breck and Grier Website. You can also contact Phebe directly at phebehuth@gmail.com.

Here are three new bags that Phebe just finished, I love how she incorporated the crisp white stripes…

For all my Vineyard fans, this small tote would be perfect for a fun night out. Also, this new “yarn script” style is a favorite of Aerin Lauder… I see her carrying one all the time on Instagram.

And for all my Nantucket lovers……..

More monogram designs…I love this style with the shorter handle…

I have been dying for my own flag bag for a while now….

Pink monogram in 3 sizes!!!

I love the multi stripe bag..it goes with summer outfit!!!!

Such a cute Yacht Club bag…

Perfect bag for a perfect outfit!!!

I had to show you this Martha’s Vineyard beach bag..it is one of my favorites!!!
