INSTAGRAM UPDATES

What I've been up to lately, according to my iPhone.
Relishing in a little outdoor time, complete with fresh flowers and this Jonathan Adler vase.
Trying to work while Coach rests his head on my keyboard... Not easy but very cute.
Wearing every striped shirt in my wardrobe, including this one paired with an old J.Crew rain jacket for my sister Reilly's softball game.
Eating outside and drinking from mason jars... Definitely saving this idea for future parties!
And most of all soaking up every second with our new little puppy, Rory! Yes, he's a boy and yes, that's a bow. Hey, real men wear pink! (P.S. The pillows are coming soon to the boutique—who's excited?!)

Stay tuned for a recap of the Jack Rogers party last night!

COLOR-COORDINATED

When I first saw this pretty picture, I thought to myself three things... 



1. Displaying clothes on clothing racks is totally underrated. 
It's a great solution for apartment dwellers who are short on closet space — just hang your favorites in the bedroom! (This one is just $23!) Plus it adds color to white walls you can't paint. Speaking of color...

2. Organizing by color is kind of genius.
Need a blue top to go with that green skirt? Coming right up. Think of all the new combinations you'd dream up by having your clothes in plain view! Which of course brings me to #3...

3. My wardrobe is seriously lacking in color.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I inherited my mother's love of navy blue and white. But it's time to start branching out, at least in colors that pair well with my tried-and-true basics!


What do you think? How do you organize your clothes?!

JACK ROGERS PREPPY PARTY

You know how I feel about my Jack Rogers (remember this?) so I'm positively thrilled to be co-hosting the brand's Preppy Party with Carly of The College Prepster and Fred of Unabashedly Prep. The event is tomorrow night at the Jack Rogers store in New York and I am crossing my fingers that I'll get to meet some of you lovely readers in person!
Do stop in and say hello if you're in the neighborhood. I'll be the one with red hair, this navy dress, and these monogrammed Jacks ;) And if you're not in NYC, be sure to follow along on Twitter using #lovemyjacks!
