My Newest Spring Love

ABC Carpet and Home
Anyone who knows me at all knows that when I am in New York, this store calls me like a beacon... I don't ever spend a long time there, or a lot of money, but I fell like my obsession with this place is worth a blog posting (though this will probably be the first of many about ABCC&H). The place is visually amazing. There are tons of home accessories, tableware, candles, textiles, etc, absolutely everywhere and piled high to the rafters. The sheer volume of goods creates a quite the textural effect. Basically I want to touch everything. You can also pretty much find anything and everything furniture related you'd want at this store. It's ridiculous the variety of styles and tastes covered by the merch - including everything from retro and modern to shabby chic and serious antiques under one roof of seven floors of glorious interior goods. It's eclectic, but if you have time to pass through it's ALWAYS worth a peak. Planning a trip up soon to manage my withdrawal!

Net-A-Porter's Newest Boutique!
I have to say that even though I can't always afford the clothes, I absolutely LOVE shopping on net-a-porter's boutiques. They always have a great ideas for any outfit requirement. The newest boutique, just announced today, focuses on wedding wear and hit home for me for a few reasons:
- I have three weddings to attend this Spring and though I love weddings, especially those of close friends and family, there's always that problem of what to wear. The site's suggestions on wedding guest attire are truly sensational and are sure to get you pumped for making an event appearance!
- Can you imagine wearing this adorable Thread Social one-shoulder bridesmaid dress this Spring instead of any of the horrible options frequently chosen to complement the bride? Sheer heaven. If only we were all so fashion bewitched.
- And lastly... if/when I succumb to eternal commitment, I would absolutely love to wear couture over a "whipped cream" wedding gown. I've been seriously obsessed with this Roberto Cavalli gown for months, lusting after it and desperately wanting to order it to wear to a mardi gras ball this year. Sadly, white is just not the best color for ball debauchery, so this gown will stay on my list of obsessions for now...
Let the blogging adventure begin...
So, I recently lost my job in real estate investment banking and like many of my peers I'm taking some time off and doing some soul searching to discover what really makes me tick. Turns out all those long hours spent working on excel spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations weren't quite it! I decided to start blogging in an effort to help me explore the things I truly love - fashion, interior design, and world travel. Enjoy!
