Woven delight

Hello my friends! It may be spring but there's snow in the forecast (and on the ground) here in NYC. I'm sooo ready for spring weather!  That's been on my mind lately, especially this weekend when we were down the shore on the boardwalk in Asbury Park and on the beach, freezing our noses off (the only thing I didn't have covered in cashmere or wool!) I saw the cozy photos of these woven blankets and thought I'd share-- Great texture any time of year and especially in hair and jewelry...

Braided and Woven

Hello, my friends! I hope you had a fantastic Labor Day weekend. I wore a high ponytail braid to a party and was wondering... can anyone wear a braid?  I'm thinking um... yeah!  It's such a clean look and no, I'm not about to go all Pippi Longstocking on you, but a simple one can look chic. (Wait, maybe the cut off is if you reference Pippi Longstocking??) Well, how about using braided items in fashion and interiors? Now, we're talking. I love almost anything braided or woven-- it has such texture and life.  Check 'em out and tell me what you think...
