Originally this post was supposed to be about the reasons why I love Vintage Fashion, but it was something the Pope said this week about hyper-consumerism and climate change that I can’t stop thinking about. Despite being bombarded with images such as the one above, …
Lenny Kravitz is designing a collection of furniture and accessories, designed in collaboration with CB2, available October 1st. The collection will include soft goods, lighting and furnishings, all imbued with his signature rock-and-roll 1970s style. Beyond a personal style icon, he is one of those individuals …
Ottawa is the capital of Canada and is a very picturesque city. From upper left: Chateau Laurier, Ottawa canal with the Canadian Parliament building in the background, The National Gallery, and the restaurant La Terrasse at the Chateau Laurier. All in all, it is a fantastic getaway. I would highly recommend this city as a romantic weekend destination for anyone living on the East Coast of Canada or the U.S.
Sunset at the Pointe Claire Canoe Club in Pointe Claire. Love watching the rowing competitions out here on the weekends with friends. Thought the mix of the cloud cover and the sunset made for a beautiful picture.
I’ve actually had this designer on my radar for some time. I’m going to go on record now as saying I think this woman is going to be huge. I love her subtly sexy yet stylish pairings. First of all, you can never go wrong with a high boot. This is such a classic look, and is always flattering. Add to that there is always a 1970s vibe to her clothes and you have the makings of a designer who is here to stay. We will definitely be keeping our eye on her here to watch her trajectory!

I’m swapping out my plants in my yard in Los Angeles for drought resistant succulents. These are proof that you can be kind to the planet and still have a gorgeous yard. I’m in love with the variety of colors and textures available.
Having a friend who is a stylist over for tea this afternoon. Grateful that my fashion peeps love Givenchy as much as I do !!
Skinny Pancakes is one of our favorite places to eat in Vermont. We are always on photo shoots in and around the Burlington and 1000 islands region. I love stopping here for the delicious crepes with strawberries. Most of all, I love the ethos of this business. It proves you CAN eat local, every single day and for an affordable price point. They maintain that:
“We’re committing 1% of our revenue toward non-profit organizations that directly benefit the local food shed as part of a movement called 1% For the Planet. Today, all of our meats are local. Vermont cheeses and vegetables dominate our menu. Each winter we forecast our food needs and commit to growing contracts with local farmers. Each summer, we buy up local berries and veggies, freezing them to be used during the long winter. As of our annual local food audit last September, we found that 69.8% of our purchases went to local farmers and food producers, the highest of any restaurant of our kind in Vermont.” (Skinnypancake.com)
I love it when you come across a business that not only talks the talk, but also walks the walk. Kudos for them!
