Happy Wimbledon Weekend!


Tennis is truly my favorite sport and thus I am excited to watch a little Wimbledon this weekend. During the Summer, I always miss my time spent as a young girl in weeks of tennis whites at John Gardiner's Tennis Camp ... those were the days.

While watching tennis on TV I may just have to do some online shopping given the amazing deals happening right now ... Neiman Marcus Sale - Additional 25% off, Net-a-Porter Final Sale, and Bloomingdales 4th of July Sale! 
Have a lovely weekend!

This Darling Dress

 
This dress. Is it really too good to be true? Oh Valentino, you have designed the cocktail dress of my dreams... a blush colorway, delicate embroidery, sheer yoke, and bow belt? I truly don't think it get's any better.

Resort Report: Wes Gordon

With Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and Gwyneth Paltrow as muses, it is no surprise that Wes Gordon's 2014 Resort Collection is absolutely exquisite.  I cannot get enough of the the sleek silhouettes infused with elements of glamor. I'd love all of these looks to magically appear in my closet. Thankfully, they are all available for pre-sale right now on Moda Operandi.

Dancing under the Stars & Stripes

Hamish Bowels lavish 50th Birthday party, was certainly one of my favorite things I spotted on Instagram this weekend.  What struck me most about the Gatsby-theme affair, was the gorgeous tent with striped lining. Oh, if only I had thought to add stripes to the tent at my wedding! Truly magical.

dCc Style Crush: Natalie Massenet

It is no surprise that Natalie Massenet, the brains and beauty beyond my favorite online luxury retailer, Net-a-Porter, is undeniably chic. Her style is exactly what I aspire with my own .. perfectly polished yet always infused with over-the-top femininity. I am currently crushing on every look. Can I just be her?

Absolutely Adore Aerin

 
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I adore Aerin Lauder's  line of beauty products, Aerin. Everything from the feminine color palette to the chic packaging is absolutely perfect. Additionally, she has expanded her line of products and opened her first concept store in Southampton where she has curated incredible accessories, home goods, and apparel. It is truly a must see! Lately I am carrying the following Aerin products in my make-up bag:
 
 
        Have a lovely weekend!

Summer Lace = Sheer Delight

I know this is a bold statement, but I think I can safely say that the Valentino Spring 2012 RTW Collection is one of my favorite collections. EVER. I am constantly inspired by it season after season. This particular lace is beyond perfect for Summer and I truly wish I owned one of these beautiful dresses. But, for now this Chloe blouse or this Nanette Lepore Dress will just have to do.

Resort Report: Zac Pozen

 
Zac Pozen's Resort Collection was simply luxurious. His decadent gowns were certainly designed for the woman who isn't afraid to look absolutely glamorous and overtly feminine. Now, if only I had somewhere to wear one of these?

Totally Loving Tortoise

I have always been a huge fan of quintessentially classic tortoise accessories. When adorned with rockstuds classic tortoise accessories become incredibly cool. I absolutely cannot get enough of this Valentino Plexi Minaudiere Clutch in tortoise.  It's totally getting added to my wishlist.

Amore on the Amalfi


My breath was literally taken away at the sight of this perfect wedding (featured on Vogue.Com) on the Amalfi Coast. The setting was spectacular, the details were understated yet elegant, and the bride was beyond beautiful. I think her dresses actually take the cake with the Oscar de la Renta gown for the ceremony and the chic Dolce Gabbana lace shift for the dancing into the wee hours  ... beyond gorgeous!

I absolutely adore the feminine shapes with a little modern edge in Alexander Wang's latest Resort Collection.That pleated mini skirt paired with the peplum top or slouchy sweatshirt is just too perfect. The collection is available for pre-order this week on Moda Operandi

CFDA Awards 2013: Navy & Black

 
Every year I look forward to seeing what attendees of the CFDA Awards are wearing and this year they did not disappoint. I noticed that a number of people from Carolina Herrera to Jenna Lyons (both not shown above) were wearing my favorite color combination ... navy & black. It is one that many are hesitant to pull off, but when it's done right it is oh, so chic.

A Little Tribute to Annabel Tollman

 
 
The fashion industry lost a lovely and talented stylist this past week, Annabel Tollman. Known for her Hollywood glamour and uber-feminine touches, she was truly a treasure. Her style was also expressed through her beautiful West Village home (as shown through The Coveteur). Annabel you will be missed.

dCc Friday Finds: Blush + Chartreuse

I thought I would finish off Friday by leaving you with my favorite finds from this week. What is interesting is I found that most of them fell into two of my favorite tones ... blush & chartreuse. I have always loved these colors individually, but little did I know how truly fabulous they looked together until I came across this image on Pinterest this week. Let's just say I am now obsessed. I am also smitten with .....

1. This Tibi Peplum Top found at the fabulous Moda Operandi Sale  -  I was devastated that they no longer had it in my size, but someone needs to buy this!

2. The La Mer Moisturizing Soft Cream  -  Truly worth every penny!

3. This Oscar de la Renta chiffon & feathered gown  -  Currently a steal on The Outnet at 70% off!
 
 
 
Have a lovely weekend!

Online Shopping Just Got Easier


Well darlings, I have some exciting news .... online shopping was just made easier with the fabulous new app Mavatar!  Developed to help you shop better and smarter, Mavatar allows you to shop in one universal shopping cart and compare prices across multiple retailers. My favorite feature is the "wish list" were you can curate all the items you are currently coveting and come back days later once you have decided to finally make the purchase. What is fantastic is that many of my favorite online retailers are already a part of Mavatar such as Bergdorf Goodman, Piperlime, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. Happy Shopping!

Deeda Blair's Beautiful Bedroom

Fashion icon and medical philanthropist, Deeda Blair is truly the perfect mix of art and science. I was absolutely fascinated to read about her in this week's NY Times T Magazine. The photos included in the article of her gorgeous Washington D.C. home were absolute perfection. I could not get over this beautiful bedroom with hand-painted French curtains and incredible antiques. I think my husband would kill me if I tried to decorate our bedroom quite this feminine, but would be perfect for a guest bedroom... or should I say sanctuary?!
