That's a Wrap with Amy

One of the greatest joys of this journey Lina and I have been on is partnering with amazing women who have been pathfinders, trailblazers and champions of that entrepreneurial spirit.

Amy Appleton Dreyer is an Instagrammer, blogger, fashionista, mother, neighbor, muse and long-time friend. She was one of the first people to say "Yes" to us when we asked her to model for some candles in return. . . startups are notorious for being low on cash and high on nerve.

Her blog - www.stepsofstyle.com - is a showcase of her natural talent as a stylist, model and experienced traveler. She makes juggling motherhood (3 year old Stella is a doll), marriage, and her own profession look so easy. Check it out here.

The travel wrap isn't just for planes, trains and automobiles anymore... it's ready for a permanent staycation this Fall. Elevate any monochromatic look with one of Mer-Sea's luxe wraps, while keeping yourself warm and toasty in the process. A few of my favorite shades are the Driftwood, Oyster and Gold (Driftwood and Oyster seen above). You can pair them with just about anything, but I prefer warm earthy neutrals for a timeless look (The Row and Ralph Lauren have been perfecting this style of simple elegance for ages). Also, not sure if you have heard but fringe is back and better than ever this fall season, so shimmy in style with these incredibly versatile and cozy pieces from Mer-Sea.
