Henri Bendel Travel Bags
18 JulA friend at work recently told me about her great Bendel travel bags and I’m obsessed! The set comes with three bags – one for laundry, lingerie and shoes – inside another reusable dust bag. So, you you really get four travel bags for $38. I think I’ll use them forever – so timeless and handy!
Check out Bendel’s site for other great “Pretty Bendel Things.” They have adorable collections of beach travel bags, “go anywhere” bags and a travel adaptor.
Top Five
3 JulAs many of you know, I spend most of my time surfing Pinterest these days. On a weekly basis, I plan to share some of my favorite pins here. Click on the images to lead back to the original source or visit my Pinterest site.
Here is this week’s top five:
Paris
Such a clever idea!
Stripes
Amen. Stop waiting around for your life to start.

Parisian Chic
2 JunI’m a total francophile. I have an entire shelf of books about French life, culture and style. My newest edition is one of my favorites of all time, Parisian Chic by Ines de la Fressange. It reminds me of Three Black Skirts by Anna Johnson, which was my bible in my twenties. I’m thinking Parisian Chic is my new bible for my thirties.
Like Three Black Skirts, Parisian Chic is about more than just fashion. Ines speaks to French beauty, entertaining, wellness, decor and family. She also takes readers through a guided tour of Paris – her favorite shops, restaurants and boutique hotels.
And then there’s the fabulous fashion! Ines captures the true essence of Parisian style in a way I’ve never seen before. She covers the basics to any woman’s wardrobe: a men’s blazer, navy sweater, trench coat, little black dress, jeans and a leather jacket.
But, she also speaks to the clever combination of accessories and apparel that make Parisian women so chic. For instance:
- A sequin sweater with men’s trousers (not a skirt)
- Jeans with gem-crusted sandals (not heels)
- A pearl necklace with a rock-and-roll t-shirt (not with a simple shift dress)
- An evening dress with ultra-plain, open-toed sandals (not with the gem-crusted evening variety)
Needless to say, I’m totally inspired. Buy the book. It’s worth every penny.
What I’m Loving on Pinterest…
18 MayHere is a peek at the things that get my heart racing on Pinterest right now…
How do you dress?
29 MarNo news here – one of the biggest trends in the blog world is to take photos of yourself on a daily basis and highlight style and outfit selection. Personally, I think the Sartorialist gets credit for this craze (not that he regularly photographs himself) with his constant posting of looks from all over the globe.
Recently, I’ve found so many new sites. Some good, some down-right terrible. My favorites are Kendi Everyday (especially love her 30-for-30 concept), Cupcakes & Cashmere (who everyone loves!) and Atlantic Pacific.
Who do you follow?
