About My Perfect Life:

Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie’s life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle—from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she’s trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she’s desperate to make her dad proud.




Then, just as she’s finding her feet—not to mention a possible new romance—the worst happens. Demeter fires Katie. Shattered but determined to stay positive, Katie retreats to her family’s farm in Somerset to help them set up a vacation business. London has never seemed so far away—until Demeter unexpectedly turns up as a guest. Secrets are spilled and relationships rejiggered, and as the stakes for Katie’s future get higher, she must question her own assumptions about what makes for a truly meaningful life.  SUMMARY AMAZON.com

Saks The Collective

Last night I went to the opening party for the New Saks Collective Store in Greenwich, CT.  The Collective space is devoted to modern mid-priced designer fashions.  You will find a mix of top denim, athleasure and such designers as Theory, Vince, Alice and Olivia, Diane Von Furstenburg, Eddie Parker, A.LC., Opening Ceremony, Nicholas and so many more.  One of my favorite areas of the store was the Tom Ford makeup corner.  They are going to carry the entire line. I cannot wait to go back for a makeover and dig into all those colors (stay tuned).  Today is the official opening for the public and there will be many events throughout the weekend.  I am sharing with you a sneak peek of the gorgeous store but you have to see it for yourself.  The opening invite is below!!!  Happy Shopping!!!

Weekend Real Estate Stalking

This Weekend’s Real Estate Stalking is Taylor Swift’s house in Beverly Hills.  The house originally belonged to iconic film producer Samuel Goldwyn (see photos below).  Taylor purchased the property a year ago and has been in the process of extensive renovations to return the home to it’s exact condition, when it was first built in 1934, for the Goldwyn family.  She also recently applied to the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission to have the property given Landmark status, because of it’s connection to Goldwyn.  It was just granted last week!!!!
