Satomi Kawakita

Satomi Kawakita is my new found favorite jeweler. Born and raised in Japan, now calling New York City home, Satomi doubles as a professional diamond setter and jewelry designer. My mom recently gifted me with an 18k yellow gold and pearl ring, one of Satomi's simple,...

Weekend with a Dog

My brothers and I gathered at my parents' home over the holidays. Between everyone's significant others plus extended family, it was a full house. Pets included. My youngest brother brought his three week old puppy across the country to celebrate Christmas East Coast...

Local Jewels

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I adore Brooklyn's Eponymy and all that it offers. Owner Andrea Miller has an eye for unique pieces which makes a stop at her shop a worthwhile one.         You can find everything above at Eponymy, and...

Repeat the Sounding Joy

In every interview I do for JBD, I always ask the interviewee: What will never go out of style?  I've put together a little round up of some of my favorite answers from 2012, and an excerpt of my very own thoughts from a Barneys New York interview earlier this year....

Hollywood Costume Design

Dare To Go There

I haven't worn a one piece since before I celebrated a sweet sixteen. While I have always admired the pin-up look of the oh-so-60s swimsuit, a bikini has forever been my go-to for a swim or a stay by the sea. However, when I came across the Ella Moss Solid One Piece...

Always In Season

I've mentioned my favorite frock a handful of times. Season to season, the blue dotted beauty gets styled according to the elements. I recently ran into a moment with my neighbor's old-time car and, well, you never know what the breeze will bring in... Dress:...

A Creative Canvas {Special Giveaway}

I mentioned Project Canvas at the beginning of November and then the month got away from me! Without further ado, I hereby announce the collaboration of Project "CAN Visually Achieve Success" with fashion designer Yuna Yang. Featuring Yuna's signature hand-made...

Brooklyn Street Sweater

In barely there sunshine, a rainstorm or snow, this cozy sweater keeps me warm. Even on a quick coffee run sans make-up (save for lip gloss) I felt casual and chic with a bit of good Brooklyn grit. Sweater: Bertle Pleated c/o 360Sweater. Jeans: J Brand. Shoes: Marais...
