I just finished installing the window at Roslyn with winter whites, presents-a-plenty, and a recycled paper tree.

Hope you can join us next Saturday, December 15th for our annual holiday shopping party!

New at Roslyn: these gorgeous hand-beaded collars and sashes from Atelier AZZA. Love how effortlessly they can add some glam to our classic Carter Dress, shown here in black silk crepe de chine.

nyfw diary on glossed & found

Earlier this month, I traveled to New York to visit with friends and family, have a few meetings, and participate in some of the spectacle that is NYFW. While there, I snapped a bunch of photos and kept a log for Glossed & Found. Take a look at the full diary here. I will also be be posting more photos over the next few weeks, so check back soon for an unabridged version of my trip.

Love this behind-the-scenes look at the details, care, and craftsmanship that go into Mulberry's Del Rey bag. Envious of all those leather working tools and machines—they are way more serious than my handheld mallets, punches, and rotary cutters!

On a recent trip to the thrift store, I unintentionally loaded up my cart with multiple items covered in polka dots. All the dotted prints I've been seeing must have snuck their way onto my subliminal wish list because I ended up taking home a blouse and two dresses covered in spots. All fun, colorful, and just in time for some updates to my summer wardrobe.

...keeps popping up around the internet. Such a special mix of tough and delicate. My goodness, I love Isabel Marant.
