Earlier this month I was invited to the Press Preview of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Every year I look forward to this incredible event to benefit the Kips Bay Girls and Boys Club. This year, the designers dontated their time and talent to transform seven floors of living space. The showhouse ends on the 31st so there are only a few more days to experiece this fabulousness!!! I have to say I loved every single room this year, but my absolutle favorite was the woman’s dressing room and bathroom by Marcia Tucker (see below).
Here is one of my favorite spaces..the dressing room by Marcia Tucker
I love the clothing she chose to display…
The hangning lights were so out of the box!!
Why don’t you treat yourself this Memorial Day. I have found some great things to help you kick off the summer and celebrate!!! Bon Weekend!!!

It’s been a while since I have done a fashion board for you. Basically the site that use to host my collages, shut down…..UGHHHHHHHH..So I not only lost everything BUT I have not been able to do fashion posts since the end of March…Luckily, I started working with another company and Voila. So back to business…Everywhere I go I see that Eyelet blouses are the THING!!! They are so crisp looking yet give an outfit that little extra fancy touch. You can wear them with blue jeans, white jeans or black pants all summer. A good selection of eyelet blouses are in most stores lately but here are some of my favorites!!! Oh and please let me know if you like this new format!!!

With Memorial Day just a week away, my goal for the Book Club for the next few months is to find you great beach reads. Fun light, and quick reading will be my main focus. Sooooo for today, I have chosen, Searching for Beauty: The Life of Millicent Rogers, the American Heiress Who Taught The World About Style. Doesn’t this sound amazing…I cannot wait to start it…Here is the summary:
This morning I went to a very beautiful breakfast party to watch the Royal Wedding. In fact it was so much fun celebrating with our friends and so festive…..

Hurrah for Meghan and Harry!!!!!
