Chic Lit: The Cary Collection





This week I'm getting back to my boarding school roots while reading True Prep and simultaneously devouring every.last.post on my new favorite blog Unabashedly Prep. I guess you can take the girl out of New England but can't take New England out of the girl! The Cary Collection showroom, owned by Thomas Cary, is my current obsession. Cary supplies style mavens like Kate Spade, Tory Burch, J.Crew, Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren (aka all my favorite brands) with rare vintage books for inspiration and decor in their chic shops world-wide. Can you imagine?? I certainly wouldn't mind browsing his collection for an hour (okay, day) or two!

P.S I just can't get over that seahorse lamp in the first photo. Those hydrangea blue walls and a touch of leopard...I die!
