rise and shine

i love the morning. sleep washes away everything, gives my thoughts and body a revitalizing scrub, and makes me feel fresh and new. the am is my most productive and inspired time. does this happen for you?

enjoy my beautiful friends. have a memorable morning! xo, mary

making the right statement

the car in front of me had a bumper sticker that read: “I’m a b*%^h, just not yours.” The "b*%^h" driving the car? a small middle-aged man with thick glasses. haha. perhaps he wasn’t making the right statement here. one way to definitely give a good impression is to carry one of these beautiful textured *statement* bags. The details, shapes and colors are so fun. what do you think?

good morning fall

mother nature is giving us a gorgeous & sunny 80 degrees today. however, it's technically fall so here's some wardrobe inspiration for the season at hand. the missoni sweater in the first pic makes me smile (as missoni typically does) and i'm loving the peach and red pairing, and art-deco necklace in the second. actually, i love everything about these looks! :-) what do you think?
