dream come true

On my last trip to NYC I spent some QT at Dream Downtown. It's always one of my go-to hotels in New York, but Dream is even more amazing during the holidays.

The lobby is transformed during the holiday season and is filled white, wooded scenes (and -yes- even a giant polar bear).  I didn't want to leave the winter wonderland but at some point I had to go to my room. You may have caught some of the behind the scenes from this trip on my instagram, but I wanted to share a few additional wintery photos with you here.

I had a lovely trip to the city for meetings and in between work I got to catch up with friends. Thank you to the Dream Team for treating me like gold during my stay.

Russell and Hazel GIVEAWAY!!

Russell and Hazel has always been one of my favorite websites. It really feels like they have designed each one of these supplies just for my office.

 ( Here it is if you haven't seen it. Am I right? Such a perfect match. )

Above is a group of my picks from Russell and Hazel, the products that  I'll be adding one by one to my little, pretty space.

Because it's a new year, and organization is at the top of my mind, this binder set made it into the office first because if I am going to get organized I may as well do it in style, right?

And here is the CRAZY-cool news, the team at Russell and Hazel and I think that you deserve some organization in your life too. So, they have agreed to send one stylish reader a binder set in black.

To enter:
Step 1) You must follow @dallasshaw and @russellandhazel on twitter.
Step 2) Send us a tweet or leave a note below on your favorite product at Russell and Hazel!
We'll pick a winner next week.

Judging by my inbox yesterday, NYFW is on everyone's agenda this week. 

Packing for fashion week is always a chore, but it becomes especially challenging when you want to pack as lightly as possible.  What items of clothing, beauty products and other must haves are on your must-pack list when attending?

Today, we love chanel.

I'm a hopeless romantic. So it's only fitting that I am always a sucker for romantic shades. 

 I love the colors light gray, peach, blush pink and gold together. Meant to be.

Saw this beautiful photo here, and it inspired me to go pick up some fresh flowers for the desk.

Makeup Inspiration

Polka dots seems like the perfect compliment to this look.

 I don't often wear heavy liner- but I'm soooo in.
