Monday Musings

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week!  A few musings from my corner of the world...

Precious Peanut #2 turned 6 this past Thursday! I mean look at him with his glasses and front tooth missing since he knocked it out running at the age of 2.  I know we all feel this way about our children, but I can't handle how much I want to eat him up!

Yellow, yellow, yellow!  Get ready to see this not so mellow color everywhere for summer.  I love the pleats and commanding power of this Tibi short silk dress I recommended for a client's upcoming photo shoot.  I saw this image Chloe campaign ad yesterday while on the stair climber at the Y.  Fashion lends itself in such magnificent ways! I say bring on the sunshine!

Speaking of Tibi, this Gothic Floral Edwardian dress is AMAZEballs and reminds me of a fab chinoiserie mural I'd love to have slathered across the back wall of a room.

While we're on the topic of all over print, I also LOVE this Ulla Johnson Vashti jacket. Unfortunately and fortunately (for my wallet) I've seen the print on two people in the last week (my clothing kiss of death), so I'll keep enjoying seeing it on other people!

The couple that dresses together stays together?  37 years strong of matching outfits.  

How the rich get stoned, as told in Town & Country, including a run down of the chicest weed accessories like this 80's Greek hand painted ashtray and lighter holder.

I so terribly badly would like to have these earrings.  I marvel over having seen them worn by a beautiful gal my age whose stepping out style is always on point.

My girl Ashley at Sweet Southern Prep looks so good with her cocktail in Charleston.  Think I might have to spring for these J.Crew sailorific trousers for summer!

My best friend's daughters are AMAZING in their rendition of Taylor Swift's Wildest Dreams. I mean if I had girls, I'd be doing this every day all day long, which I'm pretty sure they are. Click HERE to catch the Oscar performance for yourself.

And to round it out... Fab fashion, hot couples and great interior design... Jimmie and Chandra Johnson's Charlotte home featured in Garden & Gun by designer fav Barrie Benson is picture proof that dreams (and walls lacquered with more than twenty coats... at least for some) really do come true!
