Sofa Silhouettes

Each of these gorgeous sofas and settees ($1,756 - $2,396) from Jayson Home & Garden would instantly steal the show from its surroundings. The heirloom-quality pieces will cost you... But they're all 20% off until October 31! View the rest of the stunning collection here.

Lauren Moffatt Fall 2010

I would happily outfit myself in head-to-toe Lauren Moffatt this fall. Her outerwear pieces are flawless and her dress silhouettes are flattering and quirky. Navy, green, and plaid all over? It's her best offering to date.

Nate, A Little Late

I was thrilled to get tickets to a taping of The Nate Berkus Show (and a +1 for my mom!) early last week. While plenty of design bloggers have expressed discontent with Nate's lack of attention to the blogger-filled audience (lest we forget Jenny's new hit single), I was flattered to be included and loved the opportunity to meet even more bloggers than I had met the night prior at the Rue party.

I was so excited to meet Donna of A Perfect Gray. She is such a sweetheart!

Nate was just as dreamy in real life.

Am I right?

So many bloggers, so little time!

Outfit of the day: navy J.Crew blazer, Zara dress, and orange Tory Burch flats. Definitely defying Nate's request for bright colors but I can't help it — I love navy!

I was completely star-struck to meet Jenny from Little Green Notebook. In addition to designing gorgeous rooms and raising a beautiful family, Jenny is super friendly and absolutely stunning. Can you tell I kind of love her?

Pretty view from bumper-to-bumper traffic on the West Side Highway on my way out of town. Such a fun trip!

P.S. Rumor has it the show will air on Monday — hopefully the camera found my mom and me!

Bon Week-End!

Wishing you all a happy weekend whether you're out enjoying the change of seasons or nesting inside with a takeout container (and hopefully looking half as glamorous as Gwyneth!). I'll be ticking a few projects off my to-do list and making time for a few soirées on the side. Have a good one and see you on Monday!

Desk Du Jour

{Decesare}

Dark wood anchors a gorgeous graphic rug and open built-in bookcases while sconces between the shelves were the perfect choice to complement the mirrored pendant hanging above the desk. And how much do you love the vintage numbers above the door? Très chic!

Tibi Spring 2011

Flirty and fresh-faced was the name of the game at Tibi, where feminine silhouettes in unexpected hues ruled the runway. Who else could pull off the perfect spring trench, purple romper, and yellow jumpsuit in the same collection?

P.S. Have you seen Tibi's blog? The illustrations are fantastic.

High Style Hallways

{Elizabeth Dinkel}

We all know it's about the journey and not the destination. By the looks of these gorgeous hallways, it seems the same thinking applies to interior design! It makes sense that we should transition from one beautiful room to the next via an equally stylish hallway. Airy, artsy, or au natural... What's your favorite way to get from A to B?

L'Orangerie

How do you prefer your dose of this high intensity hue?

{Vena Cava}

Subtle and chic?

Eye-catching with neutrals?

{Massucco Warner Miller}

Or all-out orange?

Hippie Chic

Shopbop does it again! This Haute Hippie lookbook is brimming with ready-to-wear inspiration for this transitional weather, not to mention the gorgeous décor in the background! Schoolgirl chic and an end table piled high with old books... A backless gown reflected in the mirror above the mantle... On-trend faux fur for eating takeout in the apartment kitchen... A reminder to us all that even the everyday can — and should — be wildly glamorous!

Edor

How about a little sparkle to celebrate the end of the week? I'm thrilled to introduce you to my sponsor Edor's gorgeous (not to mention totally affordable!) jewelry collection. Each piece is prettier than the last!
