Handpicked this week - September 10

Welcome to my Handpicked by Milk and Honey Group newsletter. For new subscribers, in this weekly newsletter I share my top picks for the week - trends or particularly noteworthy design. Each week I share an interior, a real estate listing and a style item that I think are special. I hope you'll let me know what you think!

1] Handpicked: INTERIOR

I have several clients recently who have remarked on Mindy Gayer and her design aesthetic. A classic California designer, Mindy combines traditional interior design with a fresh and decidedly California-inspired aesthetic. Crown molding and classic lighting and furniture shapes are balanced with light oak, a contemporary neutral palette and the bold light vs dark contrast.

2) Handpicked: REAL ESTATE

This Brookline beauty is one to see (and it just had a price reduction)! The real estate market is such a hot mess right now. Mortgage rates continue to climb and yet demand does not seem to be subsiding, so when I see a gorgeous historic property like this (in a stellar location), my head just spins.

3) Handpicked: STYLE

I am completely obsessed with the shoe brand Alohas. Made in Spain, which I think is the ONLY country that truly innovates when it comes to shoes, I love their mash up of innovative and classic style. I am particularly obsessed with their sandals (Birkenstocks reinvented!), which happen to be on sale right now. And with the temps running 96+ this week in Massachusetts, might as well keep on purchasing warm weather essentials!

What do you think? Will you add to your early fall rotation?

That's all from our team this week - can't wait until next week!
