J Crew preview

 J Crew 2010 looks like it is going to appeal to a lot of KP girls:)   It's a lot of luxe in the form of sequins, jewels and feathers, mixed with the wools and tweeds you expect for fall. There are a lot of tone on tone color combinations like amber, brown and blush with pops of "exclamation colors" such as peacock and plum.The utility look continues as well as the  "military" which mixes ball skirts and army jackets. Some models even had twigs in their hair! There was definitely a city girl visits the country feeling for fall.

Palm Beach girls love to fantasize about fall (because it will still be 100 degrees here) , So I thought why not do it now while there is a slight chill in our air!
ENJOY

Patatas en Salsa Verde....YUMMY!!!

English Pea, Potato and Rice Soup (Patatas en Salsa Verde)

Makes enough for 4 people

2 Tbs olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
7-8 small yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 Tbs parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup white wine
1 qt water (enough to cover and a bit more)
1/2 cup fresh or frozen english peas
2 Tbs arborio or bomba rice
1 tsp salt
4 eggs, soft boil (optional)

In a large pot, heat the olive oil with the garlic. Cook for about a minute on medium heat. We don't want it to turn brown, just lightly cook. Add the sliced potatoes and cook them in the olive oil for about 2 minutes until you feel they are starting to stick to the pan. Add the chopped parsley and stir.

Add the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate. Cover with water, add the peas, rice and salt. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until potatoes are tender. taste and adjust salt.

Serve with eggs if desired, fresh parsley, cilantro flowers and toasted bread.
I discovered this food blog-A MUST FOR FOODIES!!
We made this soup over the weekend and I promise it will NOT disappoint!  The flavors literally jump out of the bowl...yummy

Have a great week!

Tips For A Night On The Town

1. Have a few little black dresses. “I have about 10,” Pulitzer says. “You can constantly update [them] with a little clutch or the right piece of jewelry.”
2. Stick to basics. “It’s best to spend a little more on a really pretty, simple piece of jewelry [that you can wear every day], as opposed to a dress that costs the same amount that you will only wear once every few weeks,” Pulitzer says.
3. Avoid silk pieces. They look dressy, but they wrinkle, and you have to dry clean them. Jersey and denim will hold up over time, and you can wash them.
4. Alternate accessories. Wear the necklace tonight and the earrings tomorrow.
5. Go for neutral colors. Black, brown and navy work for all seasons.
6. Strapless styles are very versatile. They look great on their own, and the simple neckline looks elegant under a blazer or with a wrap.
7. Skinny jeans and heels is a great look for going out. To update boot-cut jeans, take them to a tailor and have the volume taken out of the bottoms.
8. Have a suit? Roll up the jacket sleeves, pair it with jeans, fun accessories and heels—and you’ve got a cute evening outfit.

Have a GREAT day!

Spring Bling

I am so excited about these fun cocktail rings ($64.00)  The price is right and the look is more than right:)  When I am putting together an outfit there is a good chance it is getting topped off with a big ring! These are raw stone, wire wrapped, over sized rings, and my current fave:)!!!

Beach Time

This sums up my beach trip I am planning this weekend.  Yes we live less than a mile from the beach and we will be posted up there all day on Sunday...cannot wait!!  My kids are ready to break out their surf boards and I am ready for some fun in the sun.  Picnic lunch, buckets for collecting "stuff", snorkeling or surfing depending on the conditions, and  all day sun on our bodies=heaven.  We are headed just south of the flagpole in PB and we are totally "stocked"

Kim Coleman Design

I am so excited to see this blue beach house layout in House Beautiful.  This amazing designer is very well know in Palm Beach and New York for her impeccable taste.  I should know, I worked for her for several years.   She is so talented and this national recognition is long overdue in my book.  Kim travels the world and brings  to her clients a worldly air of sophistication.  She has a very special place in my heart and I know you all will love her work.  So refreshing to see  her work especially in Palm Beach where she breaks the mold.  She is the best of the best!!! Cutting my design tooth with Kim was also more fun that can be described:)!!

Beyond Funny

Unless you have been under a rock you know who Chelsea Handler is.  I could not help myself and picked up her new book, it is pee your pants funny.  She just has that way of saying what is probably on your mind.  If you plan to be poolside anytime soon make sure this is in your bag:)!!

Bag Lady

Bag Lady is quite possibly how I will be remembered.  I never seem to have enough and always seem to be coveting at least one new one.  This is my current obsession:)  Tye dye, slouchy, leather trimmed perfection!  Local girls come see me for this and other new spring bags all under $200.00:)!!!

White Paint Calms The Soul

Ahh, there.. now isn't that better.  This relaxes me just looking at it.  When I moved to Florida (from Texas) I was smitten by the tropical lifestyle.  And although I still LOVE the beach, the ocean, and wearing flip flops year round I am headed back to my roots!  I painted every room in my home a different tropical color and filled every bowl with seashells and citrus.  It was fun but I must say white interiors with old woods and antiques is really just more where my heart is!  I am starting my DIY white paint  project very soon:)


I will post pics of the renovation and the BIG smile that is going to be on my face:)

My ode to St. Patrick's Day interior inspiration a la green:)

Need something green?  Well maybe you do since in it St. Pattys Day!  I have never been one for green beer and rowdy bar crowds, but I am one for a cute outfit:)  These bib necklaces come in turquoise, black, and GREEN.  They come with an adorable white tank but also detach so you can tie them over anything you like!!

Happy St. Patricks Day 2010

Weenend Treat

If this weekend in South Florida was not your idea of perfect weather..well I just do not know about that!!  It was just perfect and we made it all about the kids:)  St. Julianna Irish festival all day Saturday and a kid party at our house on Sunday.  You cannot imagine the sheer joy that came over the kids in the pool when they heard the ice cream truck!!!  It truly felt like spring break and I have the sunburn to prove it:)

Hope you all had a great weekend

Kate the Great

I am sure we can all agree at one point or another Kate has inspired our look.  Or at least we wanted to look like her.  I love how she always looks like she just threw something on as she walked out the door.  I think if you only buy things you LOVE this is easy to pull off!  What I am in love with today is still my relaxed weekender boyfriend jeans, they just feel sooooo good:)

Ballet slipper heaven:))

Just ordered these for myself and for the shop!!  

Cannot wait to sport this little fabulous find:)

I am really enjoying my time in the dance studio again even if it is just my yoga studio.  Lucy and I go to the studio together on Saturday mornings and while she has her lesson I take Yoga.  

Florida Dance Conservatory

This really is a great way to end each and every hectic week!!

Field Trip...this is a MUST see for PB county residents

So, if you have not been to and taken your kids to The girls strawberry u pick you should right away!!  We went for a field trip and I decided to take both my kids along for the ride:)  When you pull up it looks like an average old Florida shopping center.  When you walk into the old fashioned ice cream parlor and kids dream candy store it is very obvious it is much more.  Just walk out the back door, grab your bucket for your fresh picks, and enter an old Florida wonderland and a truly charming experience.

Acres and acres of hydroponic strawberries stacked in planters so you can pick them very easily!

Lucy (my 4 1/2 year old) has a huge thing for strawberry shortcake and was really BESIDE herself the entire day:)  She particularly LOVED this old car:)

When we got home we decided to make this strawberry pie, what a fun way to spend the day with my kids!!

Almost there!!

Well here is it:)  This was such an amazing way to spend the day with my kids!!  The Girls strawberry u pick was oozing with old Florida charm and I loved every minute:)

Enjoy your family!!

The new "it" couple= Jeans and A Blazer

 

Love this simple look :)

How great that ease and comfort look THIS good!  I am obsessed with denim, obsessed with blazers, and obsessed with this look.  I particularly love the strong shoulders and boyfriend slouchy style jeans.  I am living in my Commonwealth weekender pair that just arrived in my shop!!

Back on the horse,aka the treadmill

Well after a long( in my book) hiatus from the gym (three weeks)  I am BACK!!  There is just no better feeling in the world than the feeling I have after a great workout:)  Today I did 20/20/20 circuit training at 180 Fitness and damn I feel good!!!!  I encourage you all to try this or any class and get yourself in gear:)  There is nothing better to a fashionista than feeling good in your skinny jeans lol!!  Amazing the amount of "stuff" that clears out of you head as well, adios stress!!!

KP
p.s.I am working up the courage to go to pole dancing class, new studio in Wellington:)
I think I will start with the private class with a few friends;)

KP girl!

This look is so effortless and so current (my new American Idol lingo)!  I have been wearing these classic Ray Ban shades everyday and cannot get enough.  I just got in a re order of black boyfriend blazers and have been wearing mine over EVERYTHING!!!  Add an arm full of bangles like mine here and chino style pants ( I have some adorable styles in my shop).  Ready to seriously Rock and Roll!

Why not look fabulous everyday?  With this look you WILL!!
Local girls come see me for this and other fierce looks!!!

Black and White, the perfect canvas

After a nice weekend at home with my family I am inspired to make a few changes, mainly add this IKEA rug to the mix.  I am partial to black and white interiors with pops of color and this rug suites me perfectly!  What is not to love about IKEA?  Affordable, stylish, and  great quality!  Amazing how sometimes one item can transform a room, and this item defiantly does the trick:)

Packing my bags! Well not really just planning my spring must have wish list

Cropped AG boyfriend jeans, boatneck nautical strip 3/4 sleeve top, shinny thin havianas (do not forget matching ones for Lucy, or she will freak out), hot pink bandeau bikini, new gold ray ban aviators, white straw fedora, diamonds and hot pink lip gloss! Yep that pretty much covers it;)

xoxo
KP

p.s CANNOT wait for Spring Break when I actually put all these fab finds in my truck and change zip codes for a while!!

Mixing HIGH and low;)

I am just wild about mixing it up! I never reccomend head to toe in one designer and I ALWAYS suggest mixing pieces to create a unique look! This case in point, today I combined my new flea market watch (obsessed) with my white enamel large Hermes cuff, then threw on a couple jelly bracelets (from my kids trick or treat basket), and a black bamboo bangle to complete the look. Totally KP, unique, and sure to stand out! OK your turn, just be sure to mix pieces you LOVE and do not forget the high/low concept, sure to come off fabulous!!!

polish change

How about that! I LOVE every single option in essies spring line up...this rarely happens. Lavender is SO of this moment, pinks always rules, and classic red and coral!! Oh my, this is gonna be fun!!!

Trendy Time

I realize trends come and go but they are coming in a rapid speed at the moment!! Here is my opinion on which ones will STAY!!

* I am still loving the boyfriend jeans and feel girls will continue this romance:)

*Statements necklaces for sure will pass but not just yet, Pick up one great piece you love and mix it with all your favorite looks!

*Oversized bags, girls just LOVE to travel with all their "stuff" and these FAB bags allow girls to do just that while looking HIP and HOT

*Small bags with chain shoulder straps are making a swift approach on their larger friends, these are great option for day to evening!!

*Tribal print dresses are a fresh new look from a number of designers that I am LOVING, pick your favorite one and stack your arms with bangles...there you go! Fresh new look in a flash:)

This spring is very anticipated even by Floridians as we experienced some of our lowest lows ever. Hello, 30 degrees in Florida! It was fun to break out our cashmere but I think we are ALL looking forward to Spring!!

Enjoy fashion and enjoy life!
