I believe in beauty. I believe it is everywhere. I believe it is powerful, healing and available to us at any moment, if we pause to discover it or create it.

Since my son went blind, I realized beauty isn’t just pretty. He experiences beauty constantly, and he helped me realize that beauty exists in dimensions far beyond vision. There is an immersive, experiential quality of beauty that I hope to capture here.

May you discover some beautiful inspiration (and a smile)! XO, L

Best Dressed Home No. 02 - Victoria Hagan's Nantucket Retreat

Best Dressed Home No. 02 - Victoria Hagan's Nantucket Retreat

As a young girl, I remember seeing Victoria Hagan's designs on the pages of my mom's Architectural Digest magazines. We would spend countless hours studying her crisp, comfortable and quietly luxurious. I was constantly amazed how she composed rooms that appeared simple, restrained but never boring. I also adore her philosophy - she likes to say, "I'm in the happiness business." And it's true, isn't it? Good design should make us happy, pure and simple. 

Victoria Hagan is one of our generation's most talented designers, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share with you one of my favorite design projects ever - her personal home on Nantucket (featured in Architectural Digest, July 2015). Aside from being on Nantucket (one of my favorite corners of the world), her design is perfection. The rooms are relaxed, light-filled, peppered with various shades of blue, tailored but not stiff and, above all, happy. Hope you enjoy this dose of sunshine! XO, L

*For more of Victoria Hagan's design, check out her fantastic coffee table book Interior Portraits, published by Rizzoli. I find it particularly endearing that her sister wrote the foreword.
