As a former museum store buyer and retail manager I have honed my visual merchandising and buying skills. I now gravitate towards the unique and magical. This blog will introduce you to how I visualize things with a focus on vignettes I see within my favorite items and what I stumble across in my wanderings. Enjoy!

A spontaneous 24-hour escape to @allisonbaird43 home gave me access to some beautiful nooks & crannies. Always a joy!

While juggling a large iced mocha and a chocolate chunk cookie, I snapped this window display at Michelle Willey because something caught my eye. Was it the crisp cotton top and skirt, the sunglasses, or the apple green #middlekingdom vases?! I think it was everything including the typeface in the background! A pleasant surprise to discover the clothes are by #archerie @archerie designed by my friend Jillian Grano! @jilliangrano #middlekingdomminivases @mkporcelain #michellewilley

My last evening in #Nevis and I've jazzed up my outfit with a favorite top from @mattanewyork and a few necklaces. #Pyrrhajewelry - "for further inquiries, enquire within". I love layering necklaces with patterns. I'm not quite sure how it came about, it just did! #layeringnecklaces #patterns #patternsandjewelry #feelingfestive #pinkandgrey #pyrrhanecklace

This is a prime example of what I gravitate towards. In the "Fiber: Sculpture 1960-present" textile exhibit at the ICA Boston last month I had sensory overload. The textures, materials, and movement of the pieces were beautiful. This piece by Ernesto Neto blew me away. I knew I wanted to photograph it but not the entire piece, only a nugget that spoke to me. I was not surprised that it was the shadow on the floor. I was drawn to the shape and texture of the small metal bells and the seed pods that mirrored each other on the floor.
