A Southern Girl's Guide To All Things Beautimous...
I collect stationery and colored pens the same way I collect beauty products and passport stamps. It’s something about sitting down and writing a note to a business friend, personal friend or family. It’s so relaxing for me. Some weeks are better than others and I can get them out and ready to go on [...]
I cannot wait to get my hands on American Fashion Travel: Designers on the Go. It’s a new coffee-table book by the CFDA to showcase fashion designers travel journeys. The book has the designers favorite locations and photos in various destinations. The travel junkie in me can’t wait to see the snippets of the designers travel [...]
I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Paddywax Wine Bottle candles since January. After perusing the New York Gift Fair on behalf of my beloved yoga studio I could not help but wait for the day I could finally pounce, purchase, and enjoy. Today was that day. Of course it happened after my [...]
Holly Becker’s Decorate Book is available exclusively at Anthropologie until April. Holly is the uber-talented writer of the blog Decor8 which I love reading. There is something so fun about reading design books. When I look at the photos I’m always thinking of beautiful and luxurious products. In my office I try to maintain some [...]

The candle junkie in me could not have imagined the joy of discovering Memo Candles in Paris. It was very easy. Le beau said au revoir as I strolled the first floor of Printemps which is filled with beauty, bags, and jewelry. One of my new discoveries was Memo Paris Candles. Seriously they stopped me [...]
I don’t think I could top what I wrote last year for my mother’s birthday. She’s still doing the same things and it’s such an inspiration to watch her and hope to one day follow in her footsteps. If I’m half the mom she is then I will have done a great job. She rocks [...]
I had never heard of “bed day” until I read Kimberly Wilson’s Tranquilista. Kimberly is the creator of Tranquil Space, the place where I get my yoga on in DC. I used to think a bed day meant a nap. That can happen, but it’s not the case. A bed day is where you stay [...]
I am always on the lookout for fabulous paper so I can work on my penmanship. I recently heard that in Georgia they are thinking of taking cursive out of the curriculum. Hold the phone. Really? I can’t even imagine this. But, this will not stop me from teaching others the art of the written [...]
