Every year, my best friend Clemmie and I take a trip somewhere in the world. Last year we went to Paris for Fashion Week and this Spring we decided to take a much need holiday in New York. I know the city like the back of my hand as I used to live in Tribeca. Below are a few of my favorite high lights from the trip. – THE WIFE

After dreaming up this latest design, I found out I would be attending the Opera while on holiday in New York. To mark the occasion I thought what a perfect event to wear such a glamorous dress. So to work my Mom and I went on creating such a delicate gown. The double tier full skirt is Made from the best silk in Italy (Taroni) and the elegant top from Italian Lace and the waistband is fitted with a silk bow belt. – THE WIFE

Well Darling Wives and Wives To Be…. I’m off traveling again, this time to New York for a little over a week. I won’t be posting while I’m away… But don’t worry I’ll be back before you know it! – THE WIFE
A few months ago I was asked by Uneeto, an Italian cashmere company, to be their fashion ambassador and appear in their Spring/Summer Campaign. Below is an the article that was featured on the Uneeto blog and outtakes from the photo shoot. Visit the Website to view their collection of cashmere sweaters. – THE WIFE
When Taryn enters a room, all eyes stop. Not necessarily because of her classic beauty, but because there’s an air of sophistication and elegance about her. A “je ne sais quoi” if you will. Just spend 15 minutes with her and her charm is infectious. Taryn is a rare women who’s determined to reintroduce the lost traditions of wifeliness and lady like manners to the women and girls of today. She has always believed women should be in dresses after 7:00 pm and in feminine night gowns for bed. “Dress for every occasion. I want clothes for travel, clothes for lunch, clothes for the races, clothes for evenings and for black tie galas.” Which is just why Uneeto called upon her to be their fashion ambassador. “I was honored when this opportunity came my way. I just adore this company. I’m a firm believer that every women should never deprive herself of cashmere especially in the Winter months. Thinking back, I remember the first time I put on a cashmere sweater… from then on I was hooked, even if it meant spending half my paycheck on a cashmere scarf or cardigan. My favorite piece from the Uneeto Spring/Summer collection is the black cashmere dress, which I love because I can layer it with tights and boots for a mild California Winter or throw it over a bikini with sandals for Summer. It’s completely versatile, which makes it such a great buy. Another favorite is the grey tank tee, which is perfect to throw on with jeans for a lazy Sunday afternoon out running errands. Also their cardigans come in a rainbow of colors and go great over any Spring dress. Everything Uneeto makes is incredibly comfortable and cozy, but at the same time stylish and chic.”
Taryn’s creative energy is awe inspiring, which is why it makes sense she created www.TarynCoxTheWife.com. The website is her vision of WASP perfection with a youthful, fun and charming twist. It’s everything a wife or wife to be should know, insight on domestic bliss, lifestyle improvement tips, social etiquette, style enhancement, recipe creation, entertainment advice, and other lady like knowledge. “I dream of being a connoisseur of life, I take it all very seriously, the clothes, the car, the house, the whole aura of picture perfect married life.” Most anyone who knows her will tell you she’s got the most beautiful manners, which is just what her website taps into. The lost art of being a lady in a society where these values easily get lost in text messages and ungentlemanly men. “I want to be noticed for making a positive difference. My role models draw upon the reputation of iconic ladies of the 1940’s and 1950’s, THE WIFE who enthusiastically upholds the romantic ideals of the homemaker. I would love to appear as dazzling, worldly and optimistic like Grace Kelly or Jacqueline Kennedy. I dream of escaping into their sparkling lives.” Taryn makes you fantasize that this is how your life is suppose to be, an attempt to rearrange the world so it looks, well the way Taryn Cox thought it ought to look. All we need to do is follow along. Trust when I say she is definitely an acquired taste.

A few Sundays back before attending a matinee performance for the Los Angeles Ballet Company, My best friend Chelsea and I were having brunch, when Traci asked to photograph Chelsea and I for her blog. Traci has a blog called “Bespoked Stanzas” were she merges her two loves of unique style and poetry together. Below is the article that accompanies the photo above. – THE WIFE
“I met these ladies a couple weekends ago. They were sitting outside of one of my favorite places to eat, Le Pain Quotidien. The aesthetic of Le Pain reminds me of these ladies in the sense that they are modern connoisseurs of fashion who still manage to incorporate old world charm into their outfits with their choice of classic pieces (Taryn with her classic nautical tee and vibrant red-orange lipstick and Chelsea with her timeless leather jacket). They both approach fashion with the less is more ideology- a mantra that many choose to ignore.
Chelsea is a publicist for Diesel and Taryn is a blogger herself as well as a lifestyle organizer (she was even featured in Elle!) Her blog is called Taryn Cox the Wife.”
