oh joy!

Two things… 1.) Have you all seen Oh Joy’s! Collection for Target? So colorful and perfect for Spring! I am so elated to see when a fellow blogger makes their dreams come true. 2.) Have you seen pictures of the party that she threw for her launch? I can’t even find the words.

aerin lauder: beauty at home.

Recently, I was browsing through Aerin Lauder’s new book; Beauty at Home, and I can’t help but twinge with just a little bit of jealousy… As if the Lauder empire wasn’t enough?… She gets beauty, brains and great style too?!? Move over Martha. Move over Gwenny.. There’s a new lifestyle maven around!

What to Wear.

As many working mothers do, I struggle with the age old question of what to wear to work each day. I am so physically and emotionally exhausted after negotiating with my girls on their outfits for school most days that I just grab whatever is clean and if it matches– it’s a plus. The 15 lbs. that I have gained in the past six months don’t make it especially easy (or inspiring) to walk into my closet excited about what to outfit myself with.

This is why I was so excited to see this Vogue online feature called Five Days, Five Looks. This week’s installment features Vogue’s Senior Accessories Editor, Filipa Fino. I just love the looks that she pulled together. Classic, timeless with just the right pop of color.

An inspiration for all of us on what to wear in the New Year!

Slim Aarons: Once Upon a Time.

Known as a high-society photographer, Slim Aarons captured the likes of Kings and Queens, Presidents past and present and the who’s who of Hollywood. As a lifestyle photographer he worked for many publications such as Life and Town & Country to name a few.

I asked for the Once Upon a Time collection of Slim Aarons‘ for Christmas, and I have so enjoyed flipping through the pages. What an escape- to see how the other half lives with lavish pool parties, royal picnics outside of their castles, and extravagant vacations in the Mediterranean. Aarons passed away in 2006, but this book gives you such a great feel for his personality, as he describes each shot in his own words.

His photographs are so beautiful, many people are using them as artwork in their home. You can buy his prints here. Here are some of my favorites from the book:
