MOOD LIGHTING // HUDSON VALLEY LIGHTING

Home, Style

// Hudson Valley Lighting Tulip Gold Leaf chandelier, Hurley floor lamps, and Locust Grove turquoise lamps //

To have a chandelier in my NYC loft was a dream of mine. I used to walk the streets at night in Brooklyn Heights and would just stop and stare at the twinkles coming from chandeliers in beautiful townhomes. And maybe now, when someone walks by and looks up to my windows, they will get a glimmer of inspiration as well. Timeless. Elegant. It’s everything I love about home decor. I am so excited to have partnered with Hudson Valley Lighting to feature a few key pieces that really transformed my space. This is the definition of mood lighting. 

Meet the Tulip Gold Leaf chandelier. It’s a very different twist on a chandelier as the crystals face upwards rather than hang down. It’s uniqueness and complexity is what made me gravitate towards it. Plus, tulips remind me of spring and re-awakenings. This is a piece I will keep forever and take even to my next home! 

The Hurley floor lamps are simple and chic. I really love clean, white shades and a luxurious base. My living room is already feeling much brighter.

In my bedroom, I got a matching set of the Locust Grove turquoise lamps! In my bedroom, I love little pops of color, and this was a perfect addition. It feels modern yet playful. 

So how are you creating the mood in your home space?

WORTH THE INVESTMENT: VALMONT’S l’ ELIXIR DES GLACIERS

Beauty

// Valmont l’ Elixir des Glaciers Fluide Merveille and Creme Merveilleuse //

This new collection is from Valmont‘s most prestigious skincare line, l’ Elixir des Glaciers. Yes, the Creme Merveilleuse is a $1,000 cream, but it’s worth the investment if you’re really serious about boosting your anti-aging skincare routine. And here is why. The collection, Essence of Gold Sturgeon, is special. It’s cutting edge, science driven, and gives incredible results. It’s powerful in that it contains rare sturgeon DNA combined with Valmont’s oligo-mineral complex and Swiss water. It has been lifting and tightening my skin. I use the Fluide Merveille as a pre-serum and go in with a tiny bit of Creme Merveilleuse, the ultimate regenerative cream. This collection is unique and definitely worth the investment!

HOW TO STYLE #SUAREZXAPERCU CAPRI

DESIGN, Style

// Suarez x APERCU eyewear sunglasses, Aritzia blazer and shorts, FRAME boots, vintage Chanel backpack // 

Dylana and I have been blown away by your #SuarezxAPERCU eyewear posts and are so grateful to see we have a fan base for them! Seeing you style and get creative with our collection makes me extra inspired for spring and summer. Bring out the sunshine and the sunnies. A few of our color ways and styles are currently sold out, but you can still join the waiting list. We will be restocking as soon as possible! CAPRI, the colorway I am wearing here, is a fun piece to go monochromatic with. Honestly, it’s my favorite way to style all of our designs. Easy and simple. A boyish blazer and matching trouser short and you’re good to go. Yep, I wore this to grab groceries in Brooklyn Heights the other day. Super casual, I know. But what other reasons do we have to dress up these days?

SEA ENERGY

Style, Travel

// Hemant and Nandita kaftan //

Only in Hawaii will you find me wearing iridescence and florals. It’s very rare to find me sashaying around in a floor length dress, especially these days. But I was inspired by this piece and how it resembles the energy of the sea. The way it sparkles. The way it moves. The way it makes you feel beautiful.
