Luxe Decor: Zara Home

Zara has long been a favorite shop of ours for reasonably priced clothing that is well-made and on trend. They recently took the Zara out of our local mall...we are still trying to figure out why!...but since have opened up online shopping to the US so we feel somewhat pacified.

And now we are thrilled with the launch of online shopping for Zara Home! I have been to the home boutique once in Italy, but never in the states! Like their clothes, Zara Home offers some great pieces at affordable prices. We are especially impressed by the great pieces to choose from for entertaining...table runners, unique serving bowls and untencils and an acrylic butler's tray that would make a perfect bar cart!

Luxe Fashion: Sweater Envy

As much as we love sunshine and resort wear, there is always something about this time of year that makes us want to start planning a fall trip to NYC or Wine Country. Maybe it's our northern roots, but as the end of August nears, we get major fall fashion envy.

We want to be wearing this:

But instead we are wearing this:

For the next two months. At least. Not that we are complaining.

But that doesn't stop us from scouring the latest fall fashions for a few staple pieces for when those cold nights do come (and it really does get cold!). And right now we are all about sweaters!

Luxe Fashion: The Box Clutch

The minaudière, or box clutch, has been trending on the red carpet for some time now, but recently it seems to be popping up everywhere! And we can't get enough of them! In so many amazing colors, textures and patterns, this small, hard-cased clutch is perfect for when you only need your most essential items...cell phone, lipgloss and credit card!
