We went antiquing in Hudson, NY today, about 2hrs from NYC. This picture was taken at an antique shop on Warren street. Love the reclaimed floors, the window, and the light in this room!
My Drybar blowout. The perfect Friday afternoon!
Hallway Moon, inspired by the cover of the West Elm catalog!
To draw a perfect circle: Stand still with a piece of chalk in your hand, rotate your arm all the way around. Do this three times to make a significant outline.
To shade: Start filling in the left side, and move to the right. Blend with your hands. To add dimension, use a damp paper towel and blot. Use your fingers to blur the outline of the moon and give it the “glowing” effect!

We’ve been so busy settling into our new apartment, but we wanted to share some photos of how we decorated it for Christmas! I got on a bit of a snowflake cutting kick and nearly turned into Buddy the Elf! Most of the decorations were inspired by Pinterest and can be found on this pinboard! Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!!!
This weekend, I finally got to wear my vintage Elissa of California maxi skirt! I purchased the skirt from eBay seller 2tryhard. Pair it with a chunky sweater or jean jacket for the perfect fall look. I found the same skirt here! Happy shopping!
My most treasured vintage pieces are the ones that were made by my grandfather.
My grandfather, Nick Bueti, was an expert tailor. His career as a tailor began in Italy at the age of 12. In 1938, he moved to America where he continued to refine his craft and in 1952 he opened his own shop in Chappaqua, NY where he worked for 50 years.
To commemorate his birthday, my family and I pulled together a few of the garments he made. My love for these pieces isn’t only because my grandfather made them, but because each garment is meticulously crafted unlike anything you will find in today’s marketplace.
All of the work on these garments was done by hand. From the cutting of each pattern, to the stitching of each button hole, an extraordinary amount of time and care was put into each design. The superior quality of these garments has allowed them to stand the test of time; I can’t wait to wear the wool cognac jacket, that he made for my grandmother in the 1960s, this fall.
My grandfather passed away on March 27, 2012 at the age of 91. My family feels so fortunate to have a little piece of him to hold on to.

I’m sorry skinny jeans, we’re giving you the boot! Seriously, how have we let this unflattering trend continue for so long! If your legs aren’t as long as a giraffe, and your tush isn’t as tight as the girls on the USA Olympic gymnastics team, then this cut of pants probably isn’t for you!
Yet, we’re all wearing them! If anyone can honestly say they’ve had an enjoyable experience trying on these sausage casing like pants without breaking a sweat and/or crashing into a wall, then you let us know!
So let’s put an end to this trend! Bell bottom and boot cut pants are probably the most flattering style on everyone! They’re also the perfect way to add a vintage flare to any outfit!!
Here are some of our favorites for FW2012! Wear them with a cute pair of booties and you’ll be set for fall! Find all the links here!
