Candles Galore!

The Jonathan Adler Muse candle is my new favorite! The vessel is so beautiful and the scent is divine. The best part is, when the scent is gone, you get to ooh and awe over the gorgeous little vase! This candle is a must have item for the upcoming gift giving season!

Sake is one of my all time favorite scents. It was one of the first expensive candles I bought when I moved to NYC, and will forever remind me of new beginnings.


You can't really go wrong with any of the Diptyque candles, which may be the reason you can almost always find them in any of your fancy favorite stores.

I absolutely love Douglas Little's Art Deco inspired vessels.

The packaging on the KOBO Origami candles can't get much cuter than the tin cans with vintage origami patterns. I have the Sakura Blossom, which I love, the scent isn't over powering, just subtle and sweet.

Jen Stark : Amazing.




I am 100% in love with Jen Stark's colorful paper explosions. From the first time I saw them it was love at first sight. The bursts of brightly colored and organized paper totally mesmerize me, they must have taken so much time and patience to be this perfectly crafted, I can't wait to see her next show in NYC!

Lift your spirits in style.

Josef Hoffman's Patrician champagne flute, designed in 1917, is timeless in it's elegance and beauty. As far as shapes go in the champagne world, this one wins.

Kate Spade's Belle Boulevard flute is perfect for the modern fancy lady.

Vera Wang's Love Knot champagne flute.

Ted Muehling's Tortoise champagne flute has gorgeous proportions and a nice heavy weight to it. The cut glass in this collection is even more beautiful in person.

Deborah Ehrlich's deceptively Simple champagne flute.

I love the clear and colored glass combination on this flute from Anthropologie.

Tiffany's Daisy flute is adorable.

This set of four flutes from Brocade Home are beautifully etched and affordable!

Off to Jamaica!!!


Patrick and I are off to Jamaica for a long weekend of wedding planning! I was hoping for some beach time but our lovely wedding coordinator has us booked solid our entire stay. So to make the most of it, I have packed all of my wedding essentials: my Smythson wedding planner, a huge binder of inspiration, my Moleskin sketchbook, camera, ribbons & stationery (for color), cocktail ideas and last but not least the calculator!


After seeing this image from Rebecca Thuss' website, I knew I wanted our wedding to have a lemon theme, so the first thing I picked out was our colors; yellow, gray and white. Whether the lemons become place card holders, the centerpieces ( I'm thinking of lemon wedges in the centerpiece's water), an ingredient in the cake or special cocktails, one thing is for sure, there will be lots of lemons!


The lemon is the symbol of purity, faithfulness and love.

Have a thoughtful rest of the week everyone!

Gorgeous Curved Arm Task Lamps


What better way to read a good book or sketch a new idea next to a perfectly curved arm task lamp and a fancy one to boot.
