Kim Seybert Seersucker Napkin | Kate Spade Two of a Kind Glasses | Miu Miu Bandeau | Joie Nice Sandals (on sale!)
Backyard gatherings, twinkle lights, seersucker, cocktails in quirky glasses, bandeaus (two pieces optional), effortless sandals, a lot of laughter and a little bit of adventure. Sounds like a perfect weekend to me.
Happy Memorial Day weekend!
By the time you read this I’ll be en route to Brimfield, MA where I’ll be spending the next two days hunting for antique and vintage treasures along a dusty field with my mom. I really can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be. You might think I’m being sarcastic but I’m dead serious. I love the thrill of the hunt and the adrenaline rush that comes with finding that one perfect piece. The one that will make you smile for years to come when you’re able to say “Oh, I found that…” I imagine it’s what a runner’s high feels like.
I haven’t read The Secret but my understanding is that it’s all about putting good things out there in hopes that they’ll come back to you. In the spirit of positive thinking I thought I’d throw a few things out there that I’d love for the universe to bring back my way. Number one on the list: a star chart a la Thomas O’Brien’s. I wrote this post about them over a year ago and I’m still obsessed. Number two: a Louis Philippe mirror. Done and done. Number three: a bust. Preferably a Greek god, but I’m flexible on that one. Number four: a battered set of Louis Vuitton luggage. Bonus points if it’s monogrammed.
That’s not too much to ask, right? Let’s see what you got universe!
P.S I’ll be Instagaming up a storm on @thepursuitofstyle if you’re interested in following along.
Apologies for the sporadic posting lately, this spring is turning out to be a crazy one (in the best of ways!) I realized today that I’ll be out of town 3 out of the next 4 weekends. Totally using that as an excuse for why my bag from this weekend’s trip is still half unpacked on my bedroom floor. It’s just going to get re-packed for this weekend’s trip to Charleston!
Since I’ve admittedly been dropping the ball on this little blog I thought I’d take the opportunity to throw it into your court.
So let’s chat…
ME
I never travel without: a scarf for the plane. Am I the only one that’s always freezing?
My style icon is: Giovanna Battaglia (fashion), Anna Spiro (interiors)
The last thing I bought was: this adorable bikini for my trip to Charleston.
Lately I’m inspired by: Who What Wear’s new shelter site, Domaine. It almost fills my Domino void.
In honor of Mother’s Day… My mother always told me: What you see is what you’re going to be. She gets a kick out of that one!
YOU

Kenneth Jay Lane Lapis Spike Necklace | Athena Procopiou Scarf | Ivy Kirzhner Flats | Tory Burch Spectator Mini (25% off!) | Wayne Pate ‘Olive Jug’
Interior designer, Vern Yip, recently helped Diet Pepsi freshen up for spring by designing this limited edition peacock patterned mini can. In celebration of Diet Pepsi’s Love Every Sip campaign I’m sharing a spring love list inspired by Vern’s design.
When I read that Vern used Dusk Blue, one of Pantone’s spring fashion color report colors, I immediately pulled together some of the blue items that have made their way onto my wish list. A lapis lazuli necklace I think I actually might like better than the original turquoise, fancy feet flats, a favorite piece of artwork by Wayne Pate, and a statement making scarf.
Pair any of these accessories with crisp whites and you’ll be set straight through summer. Has there ever been a more perfect color combination?
P.S if you’d like to share what’s on your love list tweet @dietpepsi, #loveeverysip!

If you’re looking for some attention grabbing accessories these are my top picks: stunning marbled artwork from Denmark based Snedker Studio–oh the rooms I could design around that piece! A tassel necklace in the prettiest shade of mint. All eyes will be on you (literally!) when you wear these sassy loafers.
Splatter paint has never looked more chic. My latest spring nail color crush. The perfect clutch which you can score for 10% off using code PURSUIT10. The code is good site-wide at Roztayger but it expires today so shop quickly!
