A Fashionable Life will be another regular post of this blog, which I’ll try to post every Friday.  For this initial post, we are all super lucky since we get a glimpse into Lauren Santo Domingo’s Southampton home currently featured in the September issue of Vogue.  I love Lauren’s style in fashion and interiors, and her Southampton home is like a perfect new home that feels old, classic old indeed.  Lauren worked with the distinguished classicist architect Gil Schafer.  Unfortunately, Vogue article only shows the beautiful and magical garden designed by Miranda Brooks and the interiors of the barn decorated by Virginia Tupker.

I’ve been obsessed with Ulla Johnson’s clothes for a while now.  I love everything from the printed, ruffled dresses to the more globally inspired pieces.  I recently pre-ordered two pieces from her next Spring collection, and I can’t wait to wear them.  Architectural Digest features Ulla Johnson’s Brooklyn townhouse in the September issue, and the interior design embodies the brand’s chic bohemian style perfectly.  You can read and see more of Johnson’s light-filled townhouse at AD.  For now, I just decided to match some of her dresses and tops to her home.

As I have mentioned before many accessory companies think they are Hermes as their prices are way too pretentious.  I think I came up with the solution for that, we all want to look stylish but without being fooled.  So until we have the extra cash to spend on a Kelly, the answer is to go au naturel or maybe just classic boho.  You see, these straw or wicker bags don’t just send a feeling of forever summer, but they are also super feminine, and they are highly Instagrammable.

Straw bags are as classic as a bag can be and lately, they have been elevated in style, from unusual shapes to the use of appliques, wicker bags are the alternative to looking stylish and yes, classic as well.

I love the beach and everything that has to do with Summer, however, I prefer laying by the pool most of the time.  If you also enjoy relaxing by the pool, these chic pool-attire pieces will provide you with the dose of style you need and will for sure effortlessly take you from the swimming pool side to the cocktail hours.  I’m especially loving the latest trends in swimsuits right now from one-shoulder to cut-outs and ruffle details; the new swimsuit has nothing to envy the bikini.
