If you follow me on Instagram, you have most likely noticed my obsession with the incredible new Aquazzura for de Gournay design collaboration. The collection was inspired by tropical Columbia, and it is so Palm Beach Chic. In addition to the fabulous hand-painted wall coverings, MatchesFashion.com will launch a five-piece shoe collection that celebrates the collaboration in May. More to come!

In the meantime, I’m still coveting this silk robe made exclusively for Moda Operandi by de Gournay.
And speaking of new collections, have you seen the new White Lettuce Ware Collection by Dodie Thayer for Tory Burch?! I have professed by undying love for this brilliant collaboration numerous times. I own and love the classic green, but the white is just so crisp and elegant. Vintage Dodie Thayer is highly collectable and sells for thousands of dollars at auction. I predict the Dodie Thayer for Tory Burch pieces will also become collector’s items, so stock up while you can!
One of my favorite things about Spring is shopping for pretty new dresses. Between Easter, ladies luncheons, charity events, and Spring break, some of my favorite options are below…
I love all things ladylike and feminine… throw in a bow and some ruffles, and I’m in love! So when I saw these darling jeans from ASOS, I knew I just had to have them. “Frill” jeans are all the rage this season, and at this price, you can’t go wrong. A skinny version sans bow is available here. I have them both and love them.
Lastly, Season 4 of Southern Charm returns to Bravo on April 3 (my DVR is set!) and if you haven’t already, you will want to pre-order Patricia Altschul’s book The Art of Southern Charm. It will be released April 18, and a review is coming soon the to the blog! Click here and here to tour Patricia’s exquisite antebellum Charleston mansion, designed by Mario Buatta. And for daily inspiration on all things Patricia, you can follow her fan club @welovepataltschul via Instagram.

The tulip and daffodil bulbs are starting to peek out, and my lilac bushes are getting ready to leaf, but meanwhile, we are having at least 16" of snow tonight, so it's not spring quite yet.
Patricia's house is amazingly beautiful.
Hello from snowy Connecticut!! You definitely have me dreaming of Spring! I am seriously swooning over the de Gournay shoes plus all of your other goodies here! xoxo
Fabulous post, Andrea! So glad to know about the white lettuce wear….. Xo
