If it's not about the money...

If it's not about the money...

Well this is unprecedented. When My husband gave me that word, I took a deep breath, at least I could begin to describe WHY I was having such big feelings, including major confusion and big fear. Since the remodeling of vocabulary began, and I've committed to follow my joy, I've heard myself saying often, well if it's not about the money, I want to... this feels amazing, I notice this, I LOVE this, I enjoy ... FASCINATING. The fear of money runs big in me, and it's a lens I most often look through, and while I haven't gotten rid of...

Stripes Earned

Stripes Earned

So, I'm at the boutique when the much anticipated, meticulously designed shelves arrive and they are ruined. RUINED! Tears, deep breaths, what are we going to do?!?! PAUSE. GO TO BED. NEXT DAY. Okay, so they aren't ruined, they need some touching up. They aren't exactly what we designed but they are better in some ways. They aren't perfect, nothing is. The details of the shelves and the days that it takes to sort through what is and isn't and what will be very shortly are all filled with feelings. I've earned my interior design stripes. How to cope with...

Come Away with Me

Come Away with Me

On my most recent buying trip I found several tiered dresses and tops, smocklike, pretty, flowy, and versatile... top or dress, coverup or coverall, all the pasta at dinner and feelin' fine pieces. While this is not my favorite silhouette, I love this one, and it got me thinking about why I choose the pieces I do, for you. It's the details. Sometimes the fabric and the fit, sometimes the ruffle or trim, the neckline, the color, etc. We all have clothing in our closet that fits and functions. I've always focused on the why this version when I buy. So, I'm...

C'est Trés Bon!

C'est Trés Bon!

It's sooooooooo good! The sentiment may not be as chic in English, and I'm not sure which is better: this trench coat or our new wall color, but I know that I'm on the right path because everywhere I look I'm seeing stripes... my version of stars:) You know I have a fierce love of stripes and as we've been discussing, a Parisian Affinity, if you will. When Conni and I went out to shoot this photo for you, I laughed out loud at how many women that morning were dressed in stripes, boat necks, and red lips, and then we...

BONJOUR MON CHERIE

BONJOUR MON CHERIE

Bonjour Mon Cherie! So, I'm curious, why am I so head over heels with what I FEEL is Parisian style... I just had a meeting with our interior design team, and as I said before, we are going for a Parisian Apartment with a Great Closet as our inspiration, and we feel we've nailed it! It's hard to know why... but here's the intention... We create a space that feels inspiring, beautiful and comfortable, where we pursue meaningful conversations and relationships, while cultivating and spreading joy. Parisian or not, the pieces we've chosen are incredible! (and yes said with a French...
