The thought of summer knits may seem counter intuitive but what better way to buy things now that you can layer and wear later too! Summer stock is vanishing quickly so it’s time to start thinking about those transitional pieces that get us from season to season. Perfect summer knits can be supper light weight, open weave or translate into sexier cuts and silhouettes but there’s no question – they’re fabulous. When the nights get cooler there is nothing better to throw on that something that gives us that extra layer without adding bulk or taking away from our great summer look. This isn’t an outerwear kind of season, but it’s just perfect for some great summer knits. Light sexy sweaters are always in style and always a great addition to any wardrobe. Check out my favorite summer knits to transition your from summer to fall in light sexy style.
MATERNITY MONDAY… great gliders for the nursery

The most important piece of furniture in the nursery for YOU. The rocking chair/glider is a must have!
Great gliders are often the centerpieces of our nurseries. Unlike everything else for our children’s room – these rockers aren’t something that we have to get rid of in a free years so they should be something you truly love. Our little ones quickly out grow their crib, changing table and even the decor in as little as 2 years, but the gliders are their to stay. Whether they remain in your child’s room as s/he grows or gets transferred into your room this is truly one of the most important pieces of furniture you will buy for your nursery and should be given plenty of thought and consideration. This is YOUR chair, the chair that you will be living in for breast feeding to story time so it needs to be both comfortable as well as pleasing to the eye. When we were designing Max’s nursery, the rocker was my top purchase and my favorite piece in the room. Check out my favorite gliders and think about which version will suit your nursery today and your home for years to come.

MOMMA LOVES…. personalized jewelry
I love love love personalized jewelry because I believe that jewelry should be personal. Of course there are the standard Sex and the City inspired name plates (who could forget the famous “Carrie” necklace) but beyond that are the sentimental pieces with your loved ones initials that are unique to you. Beautiful personalized jewelry tells a story of who you are in a delicate, subtle and super special way. These aren’t the loud statement pieces, these are the pieces you wear close to your heart – the initials of your husband or baby – that you treasure above all else because they actually mean something. They don’t have to cost a lot, they don’t have to be gifted, personalized jewelry speaks to you, the individual, the wearer and while it makes a great gift it’s also something you can buy for yourself. Whether it’s a ring or a necklace, gold or gold plated – the sentiment is draw. Check out my favorite personalized jewelry and consider the beauty in accessorizing for your love.
