Indoor gatherings cancelled. Restaurants and dining out were the saviors when the weather was nice. Travel and the idea of getting on a plane now scares me. Feeling depressed about these stats, and the impending winter months, I can’t help but long for the carefree summer months. Add to that, the loneliness that is creeping up. If we can’t gather safely, what will we do? I am going to look towards my neighbors in Scandinavia for help to see how they live year to year in the icy months. The Scandanavians are blanketed with some of the darkest coldest winters, yet consistently ranked as the happiest people in the world. How do we take lessons from them? Let’s get hygge with it.

Dress: Danielle Bernstein Sunglasses: Etnia Barcelona Bracelet: Aurate Shoes: Co      A Few of My Favorite Things I love many things. Along my journey as a woman, as a wife, mama, and a creative, my various passions are the threads of my life’s fabric. But if I had to choose the one singular spark that ignites me, and fills me with a sense of unspeakable joy, connectedness, community and love, it would have to be the act of creating and storytelling. I love storytelling through the clothes and gold necklaces I wear. Also, cooking is one of those simple pleasures that I create every day, which brings me joy when meals are created. And I know, I am not alone in this idea. One... Read More

Dress: Innika Choo Bag: JW Pei, shop similar This summer is going to look quite different than many others we have experienced. I’m well aware that this summer isn’t going to be a “typical summer.” To start, we will probably be social distancing from each other and wearing face masks. Nonetheless, I thought I’d share some of my favorite products to get ready to be seen. First of all, we’ve all been cooped up in our homes these last few months and perhaps not wearing anything but loungewear, or to be honest, shopping at all. But I am ready to go out at least to enjoy a cocktail while the sun sets. Let’s approach summer 2020 with the same style and grace as summer 2019. Toss... Read More

Sweatshirt n. Philathropy Sweatpants Frank & Eileen      This is my take on love in the time of Covid a dispatch from day 20 of quarantine. I have been sitting here for over two weeks trying to detangle the wires about the Covid-19 pandemic.

By the time you read this, I think it’s going to be Friday, but I’m writing it... Read More
