Hermes Birkin Bag… I love you.

I’m a handbag girl. Well, handbag mom. It’s my “thing.” Before I left my job at Donna Karan in NYC 5 years ago, I was living a dream… I got to work on the DKNY Shoes and Accessories line. It was heaven for me. To be in a sea of handbags and shoes every single [...]

HENRY turns ONE!

This morning in Rhode Island, the sun is brilliantly shining and the sky is bluer than blue. I think all of this is for our little Henry’s first birthday! Henry is Audrey and Matt’s 4th of 4 boys, and today it’s official… the boys are 4, 3, 2 and 1. From the very first moment [...]

Forget the LBD for now… go for a LWD.

It’s the summer (well, almost!). I know it doesn’t usually really feel like summer until school is out. For my boys, the last day of pre-school was June 5th… and since then I have been in complete summer dress mode. And if you’re from New England, you know it has only been in the 60′s [...]

A year ago today, Caroline Patricia was born a beautiful baby angel into the life of my dear and precious friend Bernadette.  The earth stopped spinning.  Light was extinguished. The world became silent. The grief at the loss of Bernadette’s first grandchild was, and still is, unthinkable.  Caroline danced inside her Mommy for all the [...]

ShopTogether (online) at Charlotte Russe

I thought this was a really cool fashion tip to pass along… I just read about this on WWD.com and thought this has to be my tip of the day. Charlotte Russe (which, I know is a little on the “younger” side – but they have really great summer deals on dresses, tees, tanks and [...]

The Keeper of the Goods

Barry’s birthday was one of the nights that Barry and I enjoy most of all. A celebration. All the kids. All the grandkids. And an angel. It has been rainy and unseasonably cool in New England this week, but Barry’s “back deck” birthday party went beautifully well. It didn’t rain. It was warm enough for [...]
