play creatively
OK, so summer is officially coming to an end…which makes the nights a bit more chilly and (in my opinion) absolutely perfect. And what could be more sublime for a breezy night than a light weight cowl scarf? And one that is so super easy to make? Even better. In fact, you probably don’t even …
Despite all my pre-planning we seemed to have another up-to-the-last-minute Easter this year. Thank goodness I did in fact do all my Easter candy shopping weeks ago and that I started Little A’s suit last week, or we might not have had much of an Easter egg hunt at all (Easter itself still would have …
I find that fashion inspiration can come from just about anywhere…and at anytime. But I have to say, I didn’t expect it to come from Little A’s toy box. Today, while working on fine motor skills, I pulled out his lacing beads. I started to make patterns on one strand, and he did the same …
Little girls have dresses. Little boys have vintage (or at least that’s how it plays out in my mind). I love having little boys but I can’t deny wishing for dresses and dollies every now and then.

I thought I’d better share with you a few snapshots of our splendid Fourth of July celebration before the month was actually over. I’m still waiting on a few photos that my little sis took of us that I will of course post later.I was so happy with how all the boys ensembles turned out. …
I thought it might be helpful to all of you if I started archiving all the looks that I spotlight here on mermag. Here are few from the past week or so. Enjoy and I hope you have an event filled weekend. Wear something fabulous! links: ulla johnson; philip lim; cloak and dagger; philip lim
Some of my dearest friends in the world, the Eltons, just had a family photo shoot that I’m nuts about. A few of you might know Julie Elton, my companion writer for the long neglected blog, domestically dressed (we’re mom’s…with other blogs…you know how it goes.). Julie and I have been friends since being house …
I recently purchased what just might be my most favorite purse…ever…and I’ve been so inspired by its colors. The exterior shades of blue and interior marigold yellow are just the right take on their primaries for me.I also have been purchasing a lot of vintage paper products as of late. This pad of air mail …
