MATCHBOOK JUNE 2012

Another month, another delightful issue of Matchbook Magazine! The cover story on Cynthia Rowley was seriously stunning and I was honored to interview the lovely Melissa Hawks in her gorgeous Greenwich, Connecticut, home...
I'm not exaggerating when I say it's one of the prettiest homes I've ever seen in person! (Seriously that's my dream dining room above!) It was such a treat to spend the day chatting and styling with Jane and Rima. Check out the rest of the issue here — you're in for a treat!

POLKA DOT PARADE

I will never tire of classic navy and white stripes but lately I've also been drawn to polka dots in the same palette! There are lots of fun options for summer that are equal parts playful and sophisticated...



(1) Splendid top (2) AG skinny jeans (3) J.Crew camisole
(4) Ban.do bow (5) Amanda Uprichard bow top (love the back too!)
(6) Madewell bikini top and bottom (7) Diane von Furstenberg shift dress


I'm also a little in love with this dress (now on sale!) for summer parties. How do you feel about polka dots?
