Stylishly Delicious...

Lilly and Animal Crackers... not the most logical match I've ever heard of, but I'll take it!

Prippy Staples... Hook Belts

Hook belts are such a classic piece for any Prippy gentleman's wardrobe.

Rugged... and yet perfectly crafted, this belt has a real special place in my heart, and I think any guy would be proud to sport such a well-made item.

Wiley Brothers, an artisan leather company based in one of my fave local getaways, Charlottesville, VA., makes a beautiful one.

In My Library... The Stylist's Guide to NYC

It shouldn't come as a surprise that I adore Sibella Court (see here!), and I'm thrilled that her new book is now out - The Stylist's Guide to NYC.


If you're a lucky duck, you can check out Sibella in person at the Soho Anthropologie on May 26. I'm even considering making the jaunt from DC to meet her myself!


The book is for sale through her website and at Anthro stores across the country. Definitely a great gift for anyone who loves NYC!

Bridal Notes... Lanvin Style

I received a wonderful gift from one of my bridesmaid's this past week... a Lanvin notebook perfect for keeping track of my wedding plans.

I love the illustration on the cover, and the thoughtfulness behind the present.

Prippy Dining... Minetta Tavern

I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Boston and NYC... and while in the Big Apple, I celebrated a huge professional success for a close friend at Minetta Tavern, one of my fave spots to pop some champagne and have a delicious meal.


Minetta Tavern is tucked in a crowded block of NYU bars and happens to be across the street from another gem spot, The Rabbit Club. Stepping through the corner door is like stepping back in time.


I love sitting at the bar and enjoying bone marrow and bubbly followed by coconut cake to top it off. The burger is also amazing! Be forewarned, Minetta is a popular spot, so if you'd like to dine at a table definitely call weeks out for a reservation.

Bold and Beautiful... Derek Lam

I'm in love with Derek Lam's Spring Collection.

Bright, bold prints in long dress form are my kryptonite... especially when combined with a piece of lucite statement jewelry.

I'm getting ready to pack for another wedding (see my Boston post, please!), and I wish I was in possession of this amazing dress!

Delicious, Delicious... Lavender Honey Drops

Abeille Occitane Boules de Miel Honey Filled Candy have become a bit of an obsession in my household. Too tasty for words.
