What I’m loving

Here’s what I’m loving today………

Alexander Wang’s Emil bag with Rosegold hardware.  I have two of his bags, and I really love his quality leather and the cool factor each bag has. Next big purchase for sho

This picture was a big fall wardrobe inspiration. Now that I have all the pieces, I just need to put them all together (from Refinery29)

Macaroons are the new “cupcake” in NYC, and these are French. Lauderee fabulously opened on the UES.

A spotty youth

Throughout her life, my mother has always had fabulous style. There are photos from when she worked at TAC in Boston, attending fabulous art-world parties, traveling with the Gropiuses (google them if you aren’t in the art world yourself), not to mention when she was in college she was featured in Glamour magazine as “One of the 10 Best Dressed College Girls.”  When I was little there were always wild dinner parties at our house where she’d flounce around in gorgeous fabrics, and then there was the ultimate moment of my life when she just handed me her black Chanel bag saying “black really isn’t my color.”  The woman’s outfits have always been punctuated with two things: leather and leopard.  And yes, it’s always tasteful. Her love of leopard is known by all and it’s something that’s been in my genes since I was a kid.  In our past, it’s been all about the leopard accessories, but now I’m trying to find it in the key wardrobe pieces.  It really is timeless, especially in NYC.   Here is one of my homages to my mother (I’m sure there will be many more to come). 

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, we all know this is “in” so this isn’t newsy but I wanted to do an all consuming round-up of my fave “spotty” pieces.

Holiday Gift Guide for Women

Getting in the holiday spirit today with some Christmas music and plotting for what hints to drop Bo this season for my gift. That’s always the fun part, right? Leaving something on the computer or a “wish list” that just happens to sit out on the coffee table or kitchen counter.  I am blessed for many reasons and one of them is Bo is an amazing gift giver. Some of my friends, not so lucky. So, to all you men out there who struggle with this- no fear- Elo is here.
