Event: Happy Halloween!

October 31, 2016 | 2 Commentaries

After a very eventful weekend (attending fun Halloween event for the Red Shoe Society, antiquing at Aberfoyle and Southworks with Rox-Anne, getting pampered at the Langdon Hall spa, and feasting on an incredible 10+ course meal with Chef Jason Bangerter of Langdon Hall and Chef Jackie Lin of Shoushin), I have a bit of catching up to do work-wise, blog-wise, and life-wise. Don’t be surprised if posts are light this week.

For now, here’s a cute (not spoooooooky) easy Halloween DIY:

I like fully tiled walls as much as I like Friday (and that’s a lot!)!

Nantucket’s Greydon House is today’s hotel-to-home destination. The rooms are traditional and bright.

Fashion: Kate Spade Goodies

October 26, 2016 | 1 Commentary

The other day, I stopped in at the Simon Outlet Mall off the 401 on Trafalgar (is that officially Milton?). Even though I travel that way every few weeks, I rarely stop in because I dislike the crowds, and I never really have time for a leisurely browse. On this visit though, I was at the mall early enough on a Saturday to beat some of the crowds of people, so I stopped into a few stores. To my surprise, Kate Spade was having a super sale, so I scored big tiiiiiime.

That shopping trip then got me thinking about Kate Spade’s current collection, so of course I’ve opted to share my top picks with you today.
