My Home Office Decor

I recently posted this video on Instagram with an overview of 30 Dresses in 30 Days for any of you who might be new around here. Since I recorded it in my office, I’ve received lots of questions about the decor, which you can find in this post where everything is linked.

The Best Winter Candles

I love you summer, but I’m not interested in my home smelling faintly of coconut or florals when it’s about to be snowing outside. Now is the perfect time to winterize your home scent, and there’s nothing like a good smell memory (they’re real) to put you in the right mood for the holidays. Start with one of my faves, the Diptyque Feu de Bois or Jo Malone’s Pine and Eucalyptus (SO GOOD), and if you’re feeling more adventurous/you live somewhere warm and really need to shine on that wintery feeling, D.S. & Durga’s Portable Fireplace candle truly delivers on its name.

FAQ: Wedding China

A follower recently asked me if I registered for wedding china when Rich and I got married and if so, what pattern I chose. The answer is yes! Fun fact, I’m OBSESSED with china—have been since I was a little girl. There are many patterns I love (I have many Royal Copenhagen pieces—both the Blue Fluted Plain and the Blue Fluted Mega), but my actual wedding china was a mix of Anna Weatherley pieces as follows: CHARGERS: Simply Anna Polka DINNER PLATES: Simply Anna SALAD PLATES: Old Master Tulips (there are 12 unique tulip designs) BREAD PLATES: Simply Anna Polka TEA CUPS: Simply Anna SAUCERS: Simply…

My New Favorite Scent

If you’re looking for an amazing new scent and/or a gorgeous gift, check out Jo Malone’s Basil & Neroli candle. It’s long been one of their most popular scents, and I’ve been burning it day and night at home. I even ordered a second one to have at the office because I’m so hooked! They’re available at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, and Neiman Marcus but I’ve also become completely obsessed with reading the story behind each scent on Jo Malone’s website. So cool.

Where To Buy Funny Cocktail Napkins

If you missed yesterday’s post on the 9 essential serving pieces to pull off the perfect cocktail party, definitely check it out here! Many of you know that I’m a sucker for a cheeky cocktail napkin, and I’ve gotten lots of questions about where I find them. I often spot them randomly in little boutiques and home goods stores, but the selections at Sur La Table and Bed Bath and Beyond are fantastic. I just ordered these.

My Favorite Houseplants That Are Impossible To Kill

This probably warrants a longer, dedicated post, but if you follow me on instagram stories where you often see peeks of our NYC apartment, you know that I’m a big fan of indoor plants. I’m completely obsessed with bringing greens into a space whenever and wherever possible because from an aesthetic perspective, they can absolutely transform a room. If you don’t have a particularly green thumb and are worried about upkeep, try one of the following four great houseplants that are nearly impossible to kill: ZZ plants Snake plants Dracaena Marginata Monstera stems These plants don’t need much light, and…

Philips Sonicare Diamond Clean Toothbrush

Absolutely the best toothbrush I’ve ever used (and the top toothbrush recommended by my dentist!), but this wonder really stole my heart when I discovered how well it travels. Since we all clearly have enough chargers to travel with, this toothbrush doesn’t have to be charged at all during your trip (unless you’re away longer than two weeks). Just fully charge it the night before your flight, and you’re good for the duration. How you fill the extra space in your bag is up to you. I’d go with accessories.

Double-Walled Mugs You Need To Try

I know we all settle into that “favorite” coffee mug or teacup, but this cool, clear set makes a STRONG case for a change. The price is unbeatable, at $25 for the set, and they’re double-walled which means they keep hot drinks hot (and I mean HOT) for way longer than your traditional mug PLUS the double walls mean they’re never too hot to hold. If you’re a tea drinker, the glass mugs make it easy to see if your tea has steeped the way you like it. Also, there’s something about these mugs that reminds me of science class,…

Foolproof Outdoor Entertaining Tips

ICYMI, recently shared a few no-fail tips for easy summer hosting, including a delish white peach sangria recipe and a simple, scrumptious watermelon feta skewer that features the best of summer produce. We’re about to embark on a week-long rainy streak here in New York (my hair and I are equally upset) but don’t forget that there’s still a full month of official summer left. It’s never easier to host a delicious, stylish get-together (even last-minute!) than it is in the warmer months, so call (who are we kidding, email) your #1s and invite them over for outdoor hangtime. Whether…

Metallic Wine Glass Markers

Disposable wine glasses are the worst, but so is drinking someone else’s Sancerre by accident. I love these wine glass markers for keeping track of “whose wine is it anyway.” The best part is that they are easily erasable and come in cool, grown-up colors, so your elegant Oregon pinot noir with subtle tannins doesn’t look like it’s covered in a 4-year-old’s refrigerator art.
