December Page: A toast!

Happy December, my darling readers! What do you love most about this month? There’s so much that’s lovely: Christmas lights sparkling everywhere, getting together with family and friends, holiday parties, hot cocoa and more. As busy as this time of year can be, it’s always filled with so much patience and joy—it hangs in the air wherever you go. 🙂

Wishing you a wonderful month ahead!

The weekend is here!

My dear readers, happy Friday! What do you have planned for the next couple of days? I’m going to see Alice Smith in concert—and my good friend is getting married, too. It’s a busy weekend, but a fun one. 🙂 Wishing you a lovely and relaxing weekend ahead! Here, to get it started right, a few happy posts from around the web:

I’m obsessed with Homeland, are you?

Homage to hashtags.

A restyled cocktail cart.

Are you wrap-ready?

Wish someone xoxo.

Princess lessons!

When can I move in?

Be as chic as Reese. 

A mini Thanksgiving (and a belated playlist).

Sweet office set-ups.

Bad hair day

Where’s a hair elastic when you need one? 🙂 I love these shots of Kate and William taken this week on the balcony of Cambridge Guildhall in Cambridgeshire, England. Even with the wind blowing her hair in her face, Kate still looks absolutely stunning (what a gorgeous Max Mara coat!). Take a peek at the rest of the photos here.

PS—What do you think of Kate’s new bangs? So cute!

Say ‘Om’

Do you practice yoga? I have been trying to fit in more classes when I can. For my birthday, I received a wonderful gift: a pass to Malo Yoga in Brooklyn. I took my first 90-minute class there right before Thanksgiving, and loved it. I’m amazed how even in a city like New York, it’s possible to shut the windows of a small studio, and with that shut out the noise (and stress!) of a busy day.

What do you do to center yourself when you feel overwhelmed?

More fitness in the city here.

Paris rooftops

A couple of months ago, I discovered this gorgeous photograph of Paris at the Affordable Art Fair in New York. Ever since, I can’t get it out of my head! The image was shot by photographer Irene Suchocki as part of her Rooftop Soliloquy series. It’s stunning, right? I’m considering buying it as an early Christmas splurge—just looking at it instantly takes me back to my trip and reminds me at a glance of how wonderfully moody and beautiful Paris can be. 🙂
