Everyone Has An Apple Watch

I’ve attended a few events lately and one night at a dinner in New York City, I looked around the table and noticed that I was the only one not wearing an Apple Watch.  I could not believe it….I felt the entire room was wearing Apple Watches.  I really loved the way that each person styled their watch.  One girl told me that she has a band to match every outfit, someone else had a repurposed Louis Vuitton watch strap and there was even an Apple Watch on a chain (I love the pocket watch idea below).  There were all sorts of bracelet stacks along with the watch.  I started thinking..the Apple Watch is the “IT” accessory of the season.  Here are some fun ways to style your own watch.  As for me, I am still Apple Watch free!!!!

Book Club Monday

Today’s Book Club choice, Palm Beach by the stylish Aerin Lauder makes the most incredible gift or treat for yourself.  It is full of photos and places that Aerin herself has come to love from spending time in Palm Beach. 

Early in the 1900s, one-time oil baron Henry Morrison Flagler took interest in the Southern coast of Florida and began developing an exclusive resort community. Establishing a railroad that would allow easier access to the area, he went on to build two hotels his hope was that America s first families would come to populate the area. This modest community would later evolve into an iconic American destination, hosting British royalty, American movie stars, and becoming the home-away-from-home to some of the country s leading families. As the century continued, Palm Beach established itself as a luxury hideaway synonymous with old-world glamour and new-world sophistication. In this splendid volume, longtime resident and Palm Beach social fixture Aerin Lauder takes us through her Palm Beach. From favorite restaurants like Nandos and Renatos, to favorite houses like La Follia and Villa Artemis, she takes us to the elite shopping of Worth Avenue and the scenic walkways of the Lake Worth trail, all the while relating to us the histories, faces, and places that have become so identified with Palm Beach.

Too Cool Christmas Gifts

World’s Away has always been one of my favorite home decor companies.  I love everything that they make.  I have bought many of their pieces over the years.  However, their collection of vintage Hollywood frame photographs is brilliant and may be my favorite.  I love the mirrored frames.  What an incredible Christmas gift.  I just ordered one for my dad for his bar and I have the Rat Pack in my powder room.  I originally saw it at my friend Julie’s house.  And I was dying over it.  My sister gave it to me for Christmas a last year.   To see the entire World’s Away collection, click CLICK HERE.  For more information or to order email me!!
