1. Nantucket Basket Collection by Wedgwood Clean, white, and classic in design this is my favorite place setting for any occasion.    

2. Savannah Jasmine and Gardenia Candle by Archipelago A candle adds a serene feel to any space.  Try one of my favorites by Archipelago for a soft floral scent.  

3. Cotton Herringbone Throw by Brahms Mount Great as an extra blanket in a guest bedroom or as a throw in a family room.  These blankets come in a variety of colors and are made locally in Maine.  

4. Hadley Table Lamp by Serena and Lily Whenever someone asks me how to improve a space, the first thing I look at is the lighting.  Table lamps are a must!  I recently fell in love with this white porcelain table lamp, with antique brass details and a simple paper shade.

5. A room is not complete without something living.  I don't mean a pet, but maybe a small topiary or a basket of succulents.  A bit of green will create a welcoming and lived-in feel, while adding a natural element to a space.

1. Pirouette Leopard Ponyhair Ballet Flats by London Sole These pony hair flats are great with jeans and a comfy sweater for a casual Sunday brunch, or dressed up with black pants and a white blouse for the office.  

2. Non-Iron Tailored Fit Dress Shirt by Brooks Brothers A fitted white blouse goes with everything, and the fact that these are non-iron makes me love them even more!  

3. Leather Envelope Clutch by Cuyana A friend recently introduced me to Cuyana and since then I am obsessed.  Cuyana offers great leather clutches, wallets, passport cases, totes, and other leather goods in a sophisticated palette.  

4. Dannie Pant in Black by JCrew I am a huge fan of Zara's leggings but I recently discovered the Dannie Pant.  A great basic skinny black pant with a bit of stretch and a flattering back zipper.  

5. Collection Italian Cashmere Wrap in Rusty Clay I purchased a light gray version of this wrap a few years ago and it was one of the best things I have ever added to my closet.  Use this as a scarf for a freezing cold day or take it on your upcoming vacation as a travel wrap.

1. Ocean Sea Salt by LUSH Like bathing in the ocean in the dead of winter!  This scrub leaves your skin soft and vibrant.  

2.  Bronze Goddess by Estee Lauder "Silky, luxurious, natural, and shine-free."  I have been using this bronzer for years.  This will transform you into a bronzed goddess any time of the year!  Available in three different tones. 

3. Playa Del Platinum by Essie I go through phases with nail polish.  One minute I am into metallics, the next I am loving vagrant pinks and oranges.  Right now I am all about neutrals.  Try Playa Del Platinum for a chic and polished look in 2015.  

4. Color Burst Lip Butter by Revlon Unlike many lipsticks that leave your lips feeling dry or over colored, this lip butter provides the perfect amount of color and moisture.  I wear it day and night, and at any time of year.  My go to is Peach Parfait, but I also frequently use Pink Lemonade.  

5. My Burberry by Burberry As a long-time fan of Mark Jacobs Daisy, I find it hard to say that I have a new favorite perfume.  Complete with a tortoise (my favorite!) top!
