THE BIG REVEAL

*image   Ta da! Design Darling got a total makeover and I’m so excited to share it with all of you!

I enlisted my friend Hanna of GADABOUT CREATIVE to elevate and streamline everything and I’m obsessed […]

TURNING 25…

*stationery here My birthday is on Saturday (stay tuned for our biggest sale ever in the boutique!) and I can’t believe I’m turning 25. It feels like such a grown-up age! On the one hand, graduation hardly feels like it was three years ago; on the other, I have friends who are buying homes and […]

WHITE FISHERMAN SWEATERS

one / two / three All I want to do right now is shop. It happens every year: August rolls around and suddenly it’s my birthday, New York Fashion Week is creeping up on us, retailers are rolling out their fall wares, and I. Cannot. Resist. But instead of buying everything in sight, I make […]

COLORFUL HAMPTONS HOME TOUR

Weekends on Nantucket always leave me reeling with home envy. I could stroll around with iced coffee and an iPhone snapping pretty little cottages literally all day long. So it’s extra fun to see the inside of a summer home that’s particularly well decorated. This one is happens to be in the Hamptons but, really, […]

COFFEE TABLE BOOKS ON SALE

one  //  two  //  three   To me, there are few things more inspiring than getting lost in a great book with gorgeous photos. My coffee table book collection has grown quite a bit since I moved into my first apartment, thanks in huge part to scooping up multiple titles on sale at One Kings […]

EYELASH ENHANCERS

one  //  two  //  three   Have you ever done anything to enhance your eyelashes? I don’t have short eyelashes per se but I’m definitely intrigued by the idea of lengthening them a little! (Side note: why are long lashes always wasted on boys?) I really want to give Neulash a try but I’ve also heard […]

OFF THE SHOULDER TOPS

one  //  two  //  three   My style tends to be very classic (let’s “blame” it on my mom working for Ralph Lauren my entire childhood, okay?) but every now and then comes a trend I can get behind. This summer it’s off the shoulder tops and dresses. I think collarbones can be super sexy […]
