Carolyn Murphy, is the epitome of beauty. Serene, sensual and effortless. I love this shoot by Mikael Jansson for Interview Magazine. The note on the editorial reads: "A seaside retreat stimulates the art of letting go. Stripped to the essentials, Carolyn Murphy mirrors her surroundings with unbridled sensuality and naturalistic poise. Elegant propositions to tropical dressing, thrown on with ease, assume their place in the sun."

I was perhaps more excited about the rattan chairs and blue and white china than the actual dim sum for lunch yesterday. Alas, Yank Sing was delish!

Love this garden hideaway designed by Art Luna as featured in C Magazine. I especially love how Art Luna designed different pockets of space for conversation, the photograph evokes such intimacy.
Charlize Theron always manages to get it right on the red carpet and last evening was no exception. Her Christian Dior gown was divine - seductive, yet so old Hollywood. Merci to my fabulous friend who hosted such a chic viewing at her house! xx
My sister Caroline just introduced me to M.Gemi, a shoe company with the mission to "preserve the time-honored Italian shoe craft" crafting luxury (yet affordable) footwear with smaller artisanal factories in Italy. Their collection of driving moccasins in particular, is exquisite. Above, their driving moccasin in Hydrangea. Shop here.
I recently procured this potted plant of jasmine. The scent is so divine, it reminds me of Aerin Lauder's Ikat Jasmine fragrance I so adore. AERIN does an impeccable job of capturing some of the best scents in her fragrances, not to mention both her merchandising and packaging are so well done.
Hailing from Alabama, southern gent William McLure seems to be having a moment in the design space. His Instagram feed is one of my favorites, flooded with beautiful photographs of his ever-changing abode, layered in chic textures typically paired with his abstract art and weimaraner relaxing nearby on a painted floor he recently striped. William seems to constantly be experimenting with new wall colors and interior configurations, as evidenced by his photographs. I keep seeing more images of his space in other design feeds - a true tastemaker in the works! Be sure to follow him here.

Just got word from Rebecca De Ravenel that my Les Bonbons have arrived and at long last, are on their way to moi! I've been drooling over these beauties for quite some time and now, I am mesmerized by caftans to pair with them. Rebecca's earnings are also sold on the M'ODA 'OPERANDI site, perfectly paired with - you guessed it - caftans, in fun island hues. See my picks above. Shake your Bonbons!!
