Our blue and black denim will always be our go-to's, but for spring and summer we'll definitely work crisp and creamy white jeans into our weekly rotation.

Thread count is one of those things; we know it's important, but we don't exactly know why. 

We have a rule when we're traveling: no chain hotels allowed. We always skip the chains that we see in every city in favor of a chic local spot. We feel that it gives us a better sense for the city we're visiting, and the carefully curated decor always leaves us feeling inspired. And for us, one of the highlights of traveling is always the cozy, luxurious bedding in hotels.

Call it a throwback to my tom-boy youth, call it my my current every day uniform, or call it what it really is: classic. In my eyes, nothing is more classic than good denim. It has seen many a trend come and go, just as I have in my 40 some odd years. And just like myself, denim is staying true to itself.

After a long, cold winter in New York City, there is nothing I'm looking forward to than the first glimpse of spring blossoms. My window overlooks a very large row of trees that are so close to the glass it almost feels like they're reaching into my bedroom. Since it's winter, the branches are bare, and I am anxiously waiting to see them bloom.
