Refinery29 recently shot my house for a little Target promotion, and it came out nicely, I think! You can see it here adorned with a few shoppable Target items.

the goldfinch
Thursday, December 12
Dispatched by Moda Operandi founder Lauren Santo Domingo last week, this instagram prompted me to run out and buy The Goldfinch, the latest book from Donna Tartt. Because I love nothing better than a book you can't put down! Now everyone I know is talking about it. I am waiting till Christmas break to dive in. So excited!

hannah's nails
Wednesday, December 11
I recently had dinner with Hannah Bronfman, a New York-based DJ (and fixture at the most fashionable parties), record label owner, workout buff, aspiring chef, and all-around high achiever, who recently launched Beautified, an app that allows New Yorkers and Angelenos to book last-minute beauty appointments such as pedicures, blowouts, and massages at the best salons. Despite her frenetic schedule, Hannah, herself, consistently maintains the coolest and most cutting-edge manicures, which typically include emojis, pop art and ahead-of-the-curve colors. Since I am the opposite of manicure-savvy, I asked her to share her current favorite nail polishes. Herewith, her top ten:
1. Morgan Taylor in Deja Blue
2. Christian Dior Vernis Nail Laquer in Gris Montaigne
3. Yves Saint Laurent La Lacque in Violet Baroque
5. Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color in Accessoire (my fave!)
6. Butter London in British Racing Green
7. Marc Jacobs Beauty High-Shine Nail Lacquer in Ultraviolet
9. OPI Classic Shades Nail Color in Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees

loafer love
Tuesday, December 10
As soon as our plane touched down at JFK last week, my twin sister was on a mission to buy a new pair of loafers. No ordinary loafers, of course. They would be masculine in nature, with a high vamp, but streamlined and sleek, so as not to be clonky. She was hoping for the Celine variety (see above), as one of her uber stylist friends has a pair and declared them "the new shoe"--or, at least a fresh alternative to the smoking slipper and ballet flat. On Day 2 of our New York trip, we popped into Isabel Marant, where she scored a pair of pony hair buckle-trimmed loafers on sale. She wore them out the door, and is more obsessed with them than ever. Of course, now I am too. So, I did some digging around and found some options, including a suede Isabel Marant version (30% off!) and a patent leather Isabel Marant one (40% off), along with this linkchain-accented Tory Burch, this Sigerson Morrison (20% off), and this (very Celine-inspired) Repetto.

family feud
Monday, December 9
I spent the weekend with my twin sister in New York. No husbands. No kids. Just us. Just like old times. We fell into our old habits: sleeping together in the same room, running side by side along the Hudson River, and walking arm in arm through the streets of Soho. And, like typical sisters, especially those who are six minutes apart in age, we argued. The biggest feud was precipitated by the $68 sequin Endless Rose top, above. There was only one at Pixie Market on the Lower East Side, and the issue was who would get it. We finally struck a deal: I get to wear it first, then she could have it, and I could borrow on demand. (She basically argued that I have more clothes than her, which is true, so she deserved it). Turns out that I'll triumph after all as the top is now available on Shopbop. So, there!
