It is cold, rainy, and desperately depressing here in Boston right now. After a spring-tease in April, we’ve been treated to nearly nothing but clouds since May started. Out went the kelly green shorts, coral blouses and peep-toe espadrilles from three weeks ago. Back in came the black cashmere and boots of fall. And I [...]

When I first heard about Boston-based artist Leslie Graff from Design Mom, I instantly fell in love with her work. Tuesday night, while at Pivot Boston (an amazing event that brought together women who want to make or have made a change in their careers that bring them more joy/fulfillment/peace of mind/etc.), I squealed a [...]

I know it’s a sin, but I’m just not that religious. Here’s what I’m coveting for my home this month…how about you? Casually elegant stemware that can serve up milk or mimosas equally well, fishy rugs, simply beautiful turned wood lamps, the Hans Wegner classic, Michael A. Palmer’s view of the world, [...]

Logic quiz: Poor self-image is to fashion magazines as WHAT is to home decor catalogs? I don’t know either, but sometimes I feel like I have it, whatever IT is. Occasionally I get sort of taken over by staging my house…rolling up the throw blankets and storing them just-so in a gorgeous basket (you’re cold? grab one [...]
Some of Boston’s Best (in my humble opinion)
Posted in Fashion, Interiors, Shop It on November 17, 2010 | 2 Comments »
At the end of October, CBS Boston launched a spankin’ new website that brings all the local CBS outlets under one digital roof. Thanks to a glowing recommendation from Boston Mamas’ Christine Koh, I had an opportunity to contribute some of my favorites to the site’s Boston’s Best section. Need the perfect accessories to go with that dress? [...]
Inspiration for an Unexpected Home Office

Best laid plans. I don’t know about you, but when I move into a new space (which is more often than I’d like), I try to have it all planned out before the big day. The furniture, the wall colors, where the lamps will go. Everything. But sometimes things don’t turn out exactly like you [...]
