Marissa Webb NYC

And just like that, New York Fashion Week has come and gone- I've got a lot of catching up to do as far as shows go, but one of my favorites thus far was Marissa Webb NYC.  This was her first season showing solo, after leaving J.Crew last year.  I was intrigued to see what her line would look like in comparison to her work at J.Crew, and I must say she did not disappoint!  I love the mix of textures / prints / colors... a sartorial mash up of hard and soft, muted tones and neons.... of course my favorite look was the ever-effortless sequin-encrusted top/leather skinnies.  See the entire collection here.

Happy Thursday!  Check back soon for my first D.I.Y. post.

IFBCON, day one

Yesterday was a LONG day, jam packed with amazing speakers/information/networking.  I am still attempting to digest all of the information (read: five + pages of scrawly note taking) but wanted to share a few big ideas I came away with, before attending day two.  The first was the importance of consistency and individuality in the blogosphere... the idea that in order to get where you want to be with your blog, you must consistently post beautifully curated content, in a way that is unique to you.  This is not by any means new information, but definitely a good thing to come back to and check in with.  It's sometimes daunting to think about all the amazing content put out by talented bloggers, and something I am often overwhelmed by.  Hearing some of my favorite bloggers/industry leaders speak was definitely a reminder to myself to check back in, be confident in my ideas, and make more of an effort to post consistently about the things I am inspired by.  Because that is why I started this blog in the first place - to challenge myself, get outside my comfort zone, and really have a space to be creative.  It's been a year since I started this blog, and I am so proud of myself for getting where I am today... more so though, I am excited to keep learning/moving forward/challenging myself.  

Here's to another big year!

weekend recap

Had a lovely long weekend... full of furniture painting (dedicated post to follow), brunch with the best sister, gallery wall plotting, donuts at brooklyn flea with the best of friends, and a pre-IFBCON blowout at drybar (it will be very difficult to not make that a habit).  Very excited to attend IFBCON tomorrow- stay tuned for posts on what I'm sure will be an amazing two days!  Hope your weekend was just as wonderful.

attention must be paid

I missed the shoesday boat on this... but these shoes deserve attention:  a moment of silence for their pink, metallic glory.

Other things that deserve attention - these GORGEOUS Milo Baughman blush and brass pair of chairs. 

If only.

on being organized...

work space - closet 

It's been one of those weeks that drags on for what seems like years... I am SO pleased it's Friday and am looking forward to a lazy beach weekend with the best of friends.  Until the end of the day though, it's all about getting organized... 

Completely inspired by these two images / wishing I was sitting at that desk!

Happy Friday, hope yours is full of good things.

lately...

Lately I'm loving and inspired by deep, lush, rich green.  Lusting over this pillow from Amber's shoppe, those Kenneth Jay Lane tassel earrings, and an old favorite rug in a new favorite color.

This weekend is all about progress, reflection, and tackling long-overdue to-do's.
