Did anyone else catch this particular Lilly Pulitzer dress showing up on their Instagram feed on more than one lady's Easter post? No doubt it is a great dress, so great in fact, that I purchased the Goop version of the style just last year and when the collection went on markdown. Luckily the general public's aversion [...]
Pack a Bag: The Blue @iguanainnsojai Part II
part I... Perhaps it was because I was a few days out from the office and all of the associated deadlines, but I could feel myself mentally relax as we were driving from the east coast to the west coast. Conversely, because we were in the car for seven days, I think we both were [...]

Ever since I found the best Brooks Brothers dress from [...]

I know where to find the best margarita in Marfa.
You got a, Prada {Marfa}, bag with a lotta, stuff in it
The opening photograph of this blog post may seem familiar to those who have binged Gossip Girl. When the series starts, the van der Woodsen family's upper east side flat is under renovation but upon the first few episodes of the second season, the matriarch Lilly, is selecting art for the newly updated home.
