Lavender & Lilies is a "no matter what's going on" obligate daily stop. Jessica has always the best finds, the cutest little beauties and some really interesting features.
Jessica has great style, an attorney by day, a style maven by night? yes! If you haven't already pop over and take a look, you will be happy you did.
Inspirations
Favorite Discovery: Blogging. I love the world and people I discovered when I started blogging. It's such a great community to be a part of.
Favorite Place in the World: The South Carolina Coast. There something about driving across a long bridge to get to a distant island. Life is just slower there.
Style Icons: Jenna Lyons, Creative Director of J.Crew
Clothes
Day dress and day bag: For the bag, I love the Kate Spade Stevie in any pattern or color. If I am at work, I love the wrap dress from Banana Republic. For a casual dress, I love J.Crew's knit dresses. They are super cute and comfortable.
Evening Dress: I am a big fan of the basic black dress. They work for every occasion.
Shoes: I love flats from pretty much anywhere. I am lusting over some French Sole flats right now but my current favorites are from Ann Taylor.
Home
Home
Inspiration: Canadian House & Home Magazine.
Favorite Art: Jackson Pollock has always intrigued me. I love the immensity of Peter Paul Rubens work and the violence of Artemisia Gentileschi. I also love photography.
Bedding: I love Eileen Fisher's bedding through Garnet Hill. It's gorgeous.
Stationery: I love the basic stationery line from Kate's Paperie because I can mix and match the colors.
Coffee table books: A Photographer's Life by Annie Leibovitz
Perfume: Very Hollywood by Michael Kors and Coco Chanel Mademoiselle
Moisturizer: I am actually experimenting with moisturizers right now but for a drug store find, I like Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer. I also love Bobbi Brown's Hydrating Face Cream.
Mascara: Kiehl's Mineral Mascara
Shampoo: Aveda Rosemary Mint
Soap: I love the Lychee Loofah Soaps from Sabon. They smell amazing. I also love Sabon's Salt Scrubs.

Oooh I love that Eileen Fisher comforter! It looks like it was pretty popular. Does anyone know how it did on the actual Eileen Fisher product reviews? I usually base what I buy from her on how those reviews go. They haven't steered me wrong yet.
