WILL TO CHOOSE BETTER: Love It Up Buttercup

In the midst of the most bitter, slippery and foreboding NY winter I have ever experienced, I yearn to reflect on a not so distant time away that I lovingly refer to as Summer.

Remember that? Several months ago when we were flitting about carelessly in single, light layers, exposing our shoulders, elbows, knees and toes to the sunshine? Clinging to the "This too shall pass" mantra, I must believe those steamy, sunshiney, humid and languid days are just around the bend. ( I was a summer baby, ok? Maybe this is why I love Bikram yoga?)

In preparation for much warmer, festive times I offer you the Buttercup Hostess Ensemble. A beautiful vintage sky blue linen mini, hand tailored in thailand in the 60's. Featuring a scalloped front lapel, trimmed with buttercup yellow and blue flowers. This ensemble comes complete with the wonderfully paired buttercup post earrings with rhinestone centers, perfect to add a sophisticated spoonful of glitz to your hostess wit da mostess savoir-faire. (As exemplified here by our incredible model and professional event planner and photographer Miss Alexis Percival.) You can learn more about the goings-on of Alexis and Jonathan, her charming and talented sommelier/author partner on their websites here.
