An Excuse to Send a Handwritten Letter


I love love love this Connor Stationary at J. Crew. In this age of e-mails, facebook, texting, and twitter it's nice to see people still appreciate the intimacy of a handwritten letter. The xoxo oxox motif is my favorite!

How great would it be if perfume bottles all still looked like this? Chanel has always stayed true to Coco's belief that every woman should be two things: classy and fabulous.

Shoe of the Day

I wish I could afford these beautiful Christian Dior heels. They are perfectly feminine with a hint of adventure. See product details here.

Princess Tea Party







I turned 21 last month and decided that instead of having the typical "I can legally drink now" party, to have a princess tea party (typically for 4-year-olds I know....). Everyone had so much fun (including the boys, surprisingly). There was lots of pink, frill, and glitter!

Current Obsession

Fragrances my Memoire Liquide:

Encens Liquide ~ “The memory of gently wafting ceremonial incense in Japan, soft smoke trailing its mysterious and sultry veil. Soft Amber Resin, White Musk, Black Tea and enchanting Hinoki Incense.”
Fleur Liquide ~ “The memory of dew soaked flowers at dawn and night blooming flowers just before sunset. Orange Blossom, fresh Mimosa and Night Blooming Jasmine.”
Amour Liquide ~ “The memory of exhilarating romantic love, at once soul soothing and breath taking. Pure Madagascar Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Incense.” <-- This one's my favorite!
Soleil Liquide ~ “The memory of warm sunshine on a dazzling, bright summer day. Fresh Grapefruit, Tangerine, Blood Orange and Neroli Flowers with Santal and White Musk.”
Vacances Liquide ~ “The memory of a vacation on an idyllic tropical beach with warm, white sand and azure waves lapping the shoreline. Tiare Flower, Fresh Coconut Milk and Tahitian Vanilla with Oceanic accords.”
