Modern Manners Book

I just stumbled upon the book Modern Manners which was written by Liv Tyler and her etiquette- expert grandmother Dorothea Johnson.  The book is a modern day manual for brushing up on everything from being a savvy hostess to on the job etiquette.  The book has style, wit and delight just like Liv and her grandmother with wonderful images.  Enjoy!

Chic Christmas Stockings

20131025_Headers_Christmas_DecoratingWelcome December! Its starting to feel alot like Christmas everywhere I go, all the stores are decorated with themes and neighborhoods have their lights up with decor.  I know this time of year can be very busy with all of our lists and things to do but don’t forget about your stockings too.  Its so much fun to go through them before opening up presents.  I happened to find some chic Christmas stockings at Crate & Barrel the other day and thought I’d feature them today.  Enjoy!

Tory Burch Home Collection

Happy Friday!  Fashion designer Tory Burch has been a long time favorite of mine so naturally I was excited when I discovered that she launched a new home collection.  I love her style and the whimsical pieces that she has introduced in the collection are today’s Friday Finds.
