two penny blue
I am totally obsessed with this new line from designer Marie Whitney and one of my favorite bloggers, Erin Gates of Elements of Style. Two Penny Blue focuses on “luxury jackets and blazers that combine thoughtful classic design with fine fabrics, bespoke detailing and an impeccably tailored fit.” And get this – for every jacket you buy, Two Penny Blue donates a school uniform to a girl...

pretty is as pretty was
I am so sad to hear that Nora Ephron has passed away – perhaps unreasonably sad, given that I never once met her. I feel as though I’ve lost a dear friend.

instapretty: weekend snapshots
My mom and sister came to visit me this weekend, for some belated birthday festivities. (I’m officially a week into my second quarter-of-a-century. Year of Penny!)
Happy Endings references aside, as you can see, we had a fabulous few days. Shopping, sushi, pedicures and puppies? Yes, please!
Sidenote: I was lucky enough to get to see my BFF on my actual birthday. Check out the adorable...

pretty pillows
These pillows from Butterscotch Blankies are pretty darn cute. Am I right?
My favorite is the blue and white on the bottom left. Monogram that little guy with an “A” for adorable! Which would you choose?

I saw this on the website of sketch artist Inslee, and it made me think of one of my very favorite moments in one of my very favorite books. About Alice is New Yorker writer Calvin Trillin’s tribute to his wife, who passed away in 2001.
If I were to tell you to read just one book this year, this would be it.

dapper digs
As promised, here are some snaps of Michael’s new Atlanta digs. What can I say? The boy’s got style. I especially love his collection of antique typewriters and cameras, and the pipe he inherited from his grandfather. Trés cool!

bow so cute
There is no sartorial statement I love more than the bow. I’m currently obsessed with this sweater from Banana Republic:
