The boys above are my brothers. Well, a mixture of brother + cousin. I come from a handful of a family, three brothers and two dozen first cousins. We were raised near one another, growing up as a group of many. Now in our twenties and thirties, we are good friends,...

Colorful Inspiration
Color is a key to joy. Visually, it captures the naked eye. It evokes a range of emotion. I think my favorite quality, of each color of the rainbow, is its ability to express a mood or style statement in a swift dash or dollop. Holly Fulton used roses in reds and...
Friday Frock and Fizz
New York Fashion Week has come to a close. I was off the past few days on a New York staycation to enjoy the shows, focus on JBD, and soak it all in. My NYFW experience ended on a high note when Barneys New York published this interview on their luxury micro-site The...
A Bohemian Love: Tory Burch Spring 2013

REVEALING THE VEIL
For centuries, the veil has been a symbol of honoring a subject or space. Veils signify a religious belief or connote a declaration of happily-ever-after. Growing up, I was exposed to veils by my great Italian aunts, who would cover themselves with dark, delicate lace...
A Hunter’s Wife
I am currently coveting a necklace by Gili Doliner of giligili. Made with wood, wax, zirconia, gold-plated brass and plastic animals, it is equal parts eccentric, odd and charming. It feels as though Alice in Wonderland and Mother Nature have simultaneously joined...
Dot. Dot. Dot.
This blog has been an open diary for my adoration of the polka dot. It has been weeks, maybe even months (gasp!) since the last dotted expression. You are welcome. Big Dot. Image Credits: Wallet / Shoes / Dress
