Geek Chic

One of my favorite accessories is my iPad.

If you have one, you understand how your mini

computer trumps a terrific tie or bangle any day.  But our tech necessities are fragile and

need to be protected on the go...and look good.

Here: my edit of the best in geek chic.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

It doesn't get any more chic than Fendi's Tapestry iPad Tote.  These were seen on the 

FW 2012/2013 Milan Runway in fur, skin, tufting and tapestry.  Sadly, I can't find them anywhere today to purchase. If I could, I would. Fabulous form and fashion!

I happen to own this good looking case 

by Two's Company. Good looking, right? You would never guess that it is less than $20.

Tea Time Tuesday

Traditionally, Tea time is from 3- 5 PM, for me it is any hour of the day! A cup of tea is my

"comfort zone." It warms me up and relaxes my mind, body, and soul. Here, my edits of 

all things tea.

Love the specialness of the tradition of tea.  The way the table is set and the presentation of food is luxe and lovely.  The addition of a glass of champagne always is a bubbly idea!

The perfect gift for a tea lover. A handsome Dammann Travel Tea Set.  As always, the presentation is key!

When in New York with little ones, The Eloise Tea at The Plaza is a must!  And if you're lucky, you might catch Eloise charging her own snack.  It really is a special treat for both 

parent and child.

Tea Time Truffles! A lovely idea for gifting or serving at home. "Bittersweet, milk and white chocolate enrobe decadent molded truffles with flavors that include Jasmine Pearl Tea, Moroccan Mint Tea, Lavender Crème Fraîche and Meyer Lemon" Yum!

Serve your own stylish shabby chic tea with fine linen. Choose the crown napkins for a

Tea length gowns are rare these days, and that's a shame. Elie Saab's couture gown is

one of my all time favorites. See it on my own Pinterest board,

Hopefully you enjoyed this spot of tea today.

I'll leave you with one thought....

Cheers!

Rainy Days and Mondays

If we all could look this good in a classic trench and red soled Louboutin's, we would never mind a rainy day. Here, my edits, of rainy day gear

that will always make you smile!

The happiest of trenches are from Burberry Prorsum. Bright, bold and beautiful!

Valentino adds his signature feminine 

style to a Bow Back Red Trench. 

It's raining.  Might as well make the most

of it and have fun. Felix Rey's Kissy Face

Umbrella does the trick!

Milly's Mini's for little fashionistas couldn't 

be any cuter. Perky polka dots pop perfectly.

Saks

 Can you ever have too much Valentino?

His Strawberry Field Trench will brighten

any rainy day!

Sometimes it just rains cats and dogs.

Now man's best friend can be prepared

for any kind of weather! Get a classic trench

at Bitch New York.

Burberry's Sculptural Opera Coat

tops my list of Spring toppers!

Spring Forward With Floral

Somewhere under the snow and on the racks in your favorite stores Spring has sprung! Fresh florals are blooming brightly.  I think I'm into this romantic revival.  Perhaps not head to toe, but a pretty pump with posies

 sounds appealing!

 A garden of fashionable fleurs is growing

at Kate Spade...and in unexpected ways, too!

Zac Posen's Fitted Taffeta Blazer and Hibiscus-Print Flared Dress is a little bit Victorian and very feminine.  The jacket adds a touch of sophistication. Find it at 

Neiman's

Lovely Lela Rose has created a gorgeous

Full Skirted Drape Dress. It's picture perfect

for all of Spring's prettiest parties.

Shop Bop

Like a dream.  No one does feminine better than Oscar de la Renta! If it wasn't so expensive, this would be a pretty pick for Prom!
Neiman Marcus

Valentino's Bustier Dress is subdued and sensational!
Moda Operandi

This floral chiffon gown goes from poolside
dinner to prom for less than $100.
Nordstrom

Loving Yigal Azrouel's Floral Ikat Jacket. Shown here worn over a scoop knit dress.  
Very 2013, no?

Wolford always has a leg up on fashion trends!
Get your floral fix from head to toe.

Too bad it's only 30 degrees outside.
I feel like planting a garden!

What will the men in your lives be wearing this Spring?  Hopefully, not hoodies and sweatshirts.  Here, my edits, of the runway's best in the Men's Collections for Spring 2013.

I don't know if it is the long hair, scruffy beard or the look of the jacket, but I'm digg'n this blazer and the entire look from Hugo Boss. Find it at 

Nordstrom

Ditch the gym bag and carry on!

I'd go anywhere with a man toting

A conservative look for casual sportswear.

Love the reversible Façonnable Vest.

Is there anything more dapper and classic  than a man in a black blazer, white shirt and grey pants? Love this look by Canali!
