April showers bring May flowers...

Here's hoping, anyway! We've had quite a few gray days in Connecticut this week and I'm looking forward to fewer clouds and more sunshine. In the mean time here's a little rainy day wardrobe inspiration to keep you pretty when it's pouring...

Kain sweater / Loren Hope tassel necklace / MoMA sky umbrella (how fun is this?)

7 For All Mankind skinny jeans / Hunter rain boots (I have them in black!)


The MoMA store was kind enough to send me their sky umbrella in celebration of their twentieth anniversary and is graciously offering all readers 20% off with the code SKY20 through April 30! It's the perfect pick to keep you thinking of blue skies when the weather's less than favorable.

What do you wear to keep chic during a downpour?

Saks Friends & Family Sale

If you're not still reeling from Shopbop's friends and family sale last week, you're in for quite a treat! Saks is offering 20% off with code FRIENDS at checkout. Here are some of the lovelies I'd like to be adding to my cart...

Longchamp tote bag / Diptyque candle

Nars lipstick / Pour La Victoire pointed toe wedges

RED Valentino bow wedges / Nars blush / Kate Spade sparkly studs

I'm in love with the packaging of Nars blush and lipstick so those two are the most likely to come live with me! I have the lipstick in jungle red (the perfect red lipstick for redheads!) and would love to add Funny Face and Schiap to my collection. What goodies will you be scooping up? Shop Saks here and don't forget to enter FRIENDS for 20% off through April 29!

Flower Power

Yesterday Michael and I were running errands and popped into a local florist where I spent an inordinate amount of money on flowers with which to photograph some new products for the boutique. Sticker shock aside, I can't tell you how happy it makes me to have some fresh blooms around here...

Whether you're entertaining or just treating yourself to something pretty for your desktop or your dresser, there's nothing like a fresh bouquet to put a skip in your step! I went with blue and white hydrangea and pink peonies. What's your bloom of choice?
