Surf Road Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

My Love/Hate With Valentine's DaySure, I love celebrating love just as much as the next girl, but the truth is I'm a little "loved out" by Valentine's Day! With our dating anniversary being in December, Christmas, and then our wedding anniversary in January, it's a loooot of lovey dovey cards to write. Usually we skip it all together, but this year I'm feeling extra grateful for my supportive husband, and in the mood to keep the celebrations going. Of course that means I rounded up a few things I wouldn't mind getting this Valentine's Day, but a lot would work as[...]

Cat Condos, not in my house! Chances are, if you've been here for a while, you've seen one of Liz's cats making his or her way into photos and videos on our Instagram page. In a lot of ways, having cats is so easy: automatic food dispensers and their independent lifestyle make them nice companions for busy households. If you are one of the people that has dedicated a good chunk of their life to raising and doting over their cats you know just how However, most cat accessories (think scratch pads, cat condos, etc.) are truly HIDEOUS and nothing I would ever want t[...]

What to wear for the rest of the year: your end of year capsule wardrobe

style, lifestyle blog, party ideas, what to wear, designer

Whether it's the annual office gathering, a more sophisticated soiree with old friends or even a Sunday Mommy and me matinee, chances are the question of what to wear this holiday season has crossed your mind a time or two in the last few weeks. Since we've had all of the above already in December, we can promise we've scoured the usual spots. We've thumbed through Rent The Runway, we've looked at the Maine Mall, been downtown and in every store on Exchange, and we've spent too many hours on quick-ship shops like Revolve, Amazon and Lulu's. What we've come up[...]

Fall Footwear: Cool Mom Edition

Never have I ever felt more like a "Cheug" (IYKYK) than when trying to decipher which fashion trends to jump on and which to avoid. Over the last few years I've had raucous group chats about whether or not we can really abandon skinny jeans, whether or not moms are doing crop tops, and most recently, this text: "How do we feel about Birkenstock clogs this season?" from my BFF. This was our exchange, which led me to buy these boots (and these), and write this post: Fall Footwear For Her: Cool Mom Edition So, no, I'm not doing the Birkenstock clog thin[...]

follower request: i have a ‘creative black tie’ event coming up, and i don’t know where to start!

creative black tie wedding attire

I was recently asked this question by a follower: "Hi, Need fashion advice! Just confirmed attendance at a 'Creative Black Tie' event on Wall Street late April and need a trendy gown...I'm reluctant to Rent the Runway for this one because I don't want to be noticed as wearing a rental. Any advice on where to start?" I was so excited to get this question because, obviously I love fashion, but as an interior designer I don't get to blog about it that much! Creative Black Tie is also my FAVORITE dress code, because it was the dress code at our wedding! We got mar[...]

denim-to-wear-in-2022

Apparently people are wearing jeans, or as I like to call them now, hard pants, again. I honestly wasn't sure this day would ever come! Despite having only WORN jeans a handful of times over the last 2 years, I do own MANY, many pairs, and have even bought quite a few over the last 2 years. Here are my favorites, in case any one is actually planning to wear jeans anytime soon![...]
