All About Aqua

Today I'd like to trade lives with whoever owns this pool, whip up a tray of festive beverages in this kitchen, and wear this necklace as I lounge poolside with a stack of magazines. Do join me, won't you?

Summer Brights

The temperature in San Francisco might have me confused but Twitter the weatherman tells me it's hot, hot, hot on the east coast. Whether you're seeking refuge in air-conditioned climes or faking it 'til you make it, I hope you'll join me in sporting the colors of the season! Every camera looks better with a striped strap.

Pattern Play

I made a bold attempt at combining leopard print, polka dots, and stripes — red pout and statement necklace optional. The subtle combination of black and navy feels very modern to me these days. Would you dare?!

Pink Packs A Punch.

One of the many reasons I love Pinterest is that it functions as a virtual inspiration board for all the looks I'm loving of late. Today my fashion board made it clear I'm craving a pop of pink in clothing, makeup, and accessories. I highly recommend the site, which comes with a "Pin It" bookmarklet so you can instantly save any image from any site onto any one of your inspiration boards. And did you hear that a Pinterest iPhone app is on its way? Brilliant. Here are a few things on my mind:

  Kate Spade scarf, $95 /Jil Sander pants, $595 / Robert Abbey lamp, $237 /

ABC Home chair, $150 / Belle Sigerson Morrison flats, $195 / Madeline Weinrib rug, $750+

Client Work!

I'm beyond thrilled to announce that I have begun to take on a couple of interior design projects! This is an idea board I drew up for a New York City loft where we're trying to incorporate the client's impressive Danish modern furniture collection into a more colorful, Lonny-inspired space that feels effortless and family-friendly. What do you think?

No. 79

It's hard to stay put in a Pennsylvania winter, particularly after spending last spring studying in France. My wanderlust is in full gear these days and I'm itching to take a trip to Montreal. In fact, it's no. 79 on my 101 in 1001 list. Have any of you been?

Turning Heads Red

Happy Valentine's Day! Whether you're a lover or a cynic of this over-the-top holiday, I hope you'll join me in wearing a little more pink and red than this time of year ordinarily warrants. If you won't spring for the pink dress, how about a red manicure?

Idea Board {Home Office}

I always love this sort of post on other people's blogs so I'm making an effort to publish more of them around here! Idea boards (inspiration boards, mood boards, what have you) definitely take more time to assemble but it's exciting to see it all come together. What do you think of this imaginary home office I designed? The colors remind me of the outfit I styled here.

Be My Valentine
