This weeks fave new purchase are these fab sapphire blue deco inspired earrings, I impulsively bought at The Eye Of The Needle in Palm Beach this weekend. They'll be great for the holiday season but they will easily continue to carry me though the rest of the year...for day or night!

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: Velvet Mongolian Stocking
Tis the season! Our homes and wardrobes already contain an abundance of faux furs, why not the holiday décor too?! I posted last week about our love for the wide variety of Mongolian lamb and faux furs available right now, and included these stockings in my picks. They went on sale for a fab price, so if Mongolian fur becomes a passing trend, it won't be a major loss. But even still, I can't imagine not loving them year after year! The Mongolian trim paired with velvet is super luxe and perfect for the season!

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: Brass Cachepot
Our love for brass accessories does not stop at animal figurines...I recently scored this vintage brass cachepot of eBay! I especially love the rope and tassel detail. It's perfect for orchids!

Luxe Lifestyle: Friday Vignettes: Glimpse Into The Study
We love mixing antiques and original architecture with modern and graphic elements. Like my antique French writing desk paired with a luctie ghost chair and striped durhi rug...

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: Valentino Rockstud Pumps
We started off our Worth Avenue shopping day wondering just what new items the day had in store for us. We were both looking to treat ourselves with a little something special...a new wallet, some statement jewelry, a new pair of shoes?!?! We actually discussed our love for the Valentino Rockstud pumps, but wondered if they were going to be a short-lived trend or a designer classic that could transcend years. Plus we questioned just how flattering they were, with multiple straps that seemed to creep high on the ankle (never good when a shoe shortens a leg!). Sure, we've blogged about plenty of good looks for less, but we had actually never tried the real deal on for ourselves. Needless to say, we were proven otherwise once we actually got a pair on our feet! Maybe it was the thrill of wearing Valentino, but the look, cut and comfort (believe it or not!) of the shoe blew us away!
Soon after, we weren't only presented with the dilemma of a major splurge...but now, what color?!?!
So we settled on what any other normal person would do, you get one, and I'll get the other! And we'll share! :P
Everyone is worthy of a splurge now and then! We're kind of obsessed with our new black and white moment.

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: String Lights
While we were in Napa we fell in love with the enchantingness (is that a word?) and charm clear string lights brought to the vineyards as well as our outdoor dining experience! Turns out wine isn't the only thing we brought back from wine country! I loved the idea so much, I ordered a set as soon as we got back home.
Now we're ready for al fresco dining (and our Napa Revisited dinner party)!

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: Lauren's New House!
This week's purchase is slightly bigger than most weeks! But if all goes well, by the end of the week we will be the new owners of this Bermuda-style home!
If you've been following us for a while, you may remember that we started the house hunting process back in June. It's been quite a long, and arduous process, but I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel...I think...! We are so excited, but there is a ton of work to be done! Stay tuned for all of the updates on our progress!

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: Vintage Marble Ashtray
I'm loving the large Mid Century striped marble ashtray I recently picked at a local antique store. I'll never use it for its intended purpose, but it's perfect to hold our tv remotes!

Luxe Lifestyle: Friday Vignettes: Kelham Vineyards
Our whole week in Napa Valley was spent visiting the most amazing vineyards, with each one bringing it's own unique reason why it made for a wonderful visit. At one stop we'd be in awe of the history of the grounds, the next stop tasting in caves. An intimate tasting with the winemaker themselves, and a relaxed porch tasting had us saying each new stop was our favorite. Our whole week had been meticously timed and planned (thanks to our wine-obsessed hubbies) to manage going from appointment to appointment and fitting in stops for great eats along the way.
On our last day, we visited two wineries before lunch, and made our way to the fabulous Auberge du Soleil for a terrace lunch. Not wanting to rush one of our last meals, we were actually left with an open afternoon! Left wondering if we'd be able to squeeze one last tasting in, we remembered a nearby vineyard that was recommended before we left. And if there was ever a time to say that we saved the best for last, this was it!
How amazing would this set-up be for a dinner party?!
An oversized lap pool nestled in between vineyards for morning swims!
That sky?! #nofilter
The venue is quite perfect for events, or you can simply visit for lunch. They staff a gourmet chef for daily meal preparation and wine pairings!
The wine wasn't half bad either!
It was truly one of the most generous tastings of our whole week, with the winemaker pouring each tasting personally. We didn't want to leave!
And if all that wasn't enough, there is a fabulous boutique on the grounds containing custom upholstery using only luxury silk scarves. It was so fab it deserves its own post. Stay tuned!

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: Wide Brim Wool Hat
We posted about the wide brim wool hat fashion trend before we left for our trip, but what we didn't know is just how much we would be reaching for our new accessories during our week long stay. It was the perfect addition to our fall wardrobes...even with the weather not as cool as we wanted it to be! Like our booties, it was the one fall trend we just couldn't resist rocking while we had the chance!

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: GLO Whitening Pen
While standing in line at Sephora this weekend, I fell victim to a counter impulse purchase. A Sephora staffer walked up to us in line, and decided to demonstrate the GLO teeth whitening pen in front of us all as if we were in such desperate need of a little whitening. After watching her literally paint her teeth and discuss her newly freshened breath, I smiled, a little self-consciously, setting a mental reminder to use some white strips when I got home.
But last minute I remembered why I was in that line in the first place! Buying last minute necessities for our trip to Napa Valley this week! And if a trip filled with daily wine tastings (hello, purple teeth!) doesn't call for a teeth whitening pen to be stashed in your purse, I don't know what does!
Has anyone ever used this? Let us know how it is!
Have a wonderful week Luxe readers! We will be back next week with lots of photos of our trip! xo

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: Converse Sneaks
This week I'm loving my new (old school) kicks that just came in the mail!
Chuck Taylor's have been around forever...I even rocked some hot pick high tops in kindergarden... But lately they seem to be more current than ever. I'm loving them paired with anything from shorts, to day dresses, sweaters & jeans and even leather pants!

Luxe Lifestyle: Friday Vignettes: New Outdoor Furniture Sneak Peek
A couple of months ago I scored some fabulous vintage Brown Jordan club chairs. A couple coats of spray paint, and a major cushion overhaul (16 cushions in total!) later, we are finally enjoying the fruits of our labor!
More details on all of my new furniture, including befores and afters, to come!

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: Slouchy Sweater Dress
The fall season is upon us! Well, maybe not in South Florida (where it is hotter than ever), but in just about two weeks we will be rejoicing in cooler weather when we head to wine country. While Christin and I are busy scooping up some of the latest fall fashions, my most recent purchase includes this slouchy sweater dress. Super comfy, I'm hoping it will be the perfect dress to take me from wine tastings during the day, to dinner and drinks at night!
