Weekly Roundup

happy v-day fam! i'm sitting here dreaming of desk mailboxes full of construction paper, and glitter, valentines. and even though being an adult means more sushi and wine instead of conversation hearts, i'm feeling the love for quiet a few things today.

hosting: 

the perfect galentines day party: i find the moniker "galentines day" absolutely cringe-worthy and suffer a physical aversion whenever i hear it. in my opinion, the only thing more cliche than complaining about being single on february 14th is pretending to be happy about it. but i have to admit after checking out goops interpretation i may have to reevaluate my stance, if for nothing else than those mouthwatering ice cream sandwiches. 

dreaming of:

  kule dylan cardigan: have you ever seen a more valentines day appropriate article of clothing? 

style crushing on: 

lauren santo domingo: every decade has it's own style icon, from princess diana to carolyn bassette,  they are the women who influence an entire generation. and personally i think the millennia's should look no further than the woman-of-the-moment, lauren santo domingo. the creator of the revolutionary fashion site moda operandi, that was the first to introduce immediate runway to consumer sales, has been gracing the front rows of all this weeks hottest shows. (i was getting major fomo while watch all the fashion glitterati's instagram stories at the frame anniversary dinner). i work directly down the block from santo domingo's jaw dropping gramercy park brownstone (she out bid SJP for it) and get to catch a glimpse of her street style frequently and she never disappoints. she is sophistication personified.

purchasing:

  vintage finds for la maison supreme: who needs crowded flea markets and haggle savy vendors when you can skip all the nonsense and head right to the vintage jewels? one kings lane is pretty much my constant go to when it come to anything for my apartment and this particular category has me ready to sell a kidney to purchase some of the beautiful trinkets. 

writing: 

love notes:  since i'm not in an jane eyre novel, i'm not penning beautifully, long winded letters to my beloved. but i do have an obscene amount of delinquent thank you notes to pop in the mail and am looking for some fun personalize stationary for the occasion. so cast your vote option 1, option 2 or option 3? 

mic drop: 

carolina herrera's final collection: on monday herrera showed her final collection as the the face and head designer of her label with an ode to her personal style. for the final walk, a parade of models were clad in her signature crisp white blouse, statement belt, and colorful ballgown. it was the epitome of a swan song.
