A Very She & Him Christmas

Every year there is one Christmas album I can’t get enough of. This year it is She and Him, an indie pop due made up of the darling Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. Enjoy.

A Rustic Renovation

Francis D’Haene of D’Apostrophe Design renovated this home in Remsenburg, New York.

Preppy: Cultivating Ivy Style

Preppy has always been acknowledged as an inherently American phenomenon, a fashion- or anti-fashion as some have called it- whose imagery perpetually connects us to idyllic college days, sport, and the spirit and vitality of youth.

From the same author who brought us the previously blogged about Tartan:Romancing the Plaid, comes Preppy: Cultivating Ivy Style. A full history of the beginnings and growth of the American preppy style, this is a really interesting book that will definitely be on my Christmas list!
