Cut That Out

A well-placed cut-out can do wonders! An exaggerated keyhole creates the illusion of cleavage while side cut-outs emphasize a trim waist. Would you dare to try the look for yourself?

Let's Talk Turquoise

Whether it's used in a pale-hued stairwell or the depths of a swimming pool, turquoise possesses a power that few other colors do. Equal parts energizing and relaxing, it works just as well on the walls as it does on a pair of club chairs in a Wearstler-designed hotel bar.

Champagne Shimmer

Who knew neutrals could be such show-stoppers? Forgo dark winter wear in favor of fair skin paired with blush tones and a hint of sparkle. I know Halloween was only yesterday but now you've got your look for New Year's Eve down pat!

A French Affair

My French host mom was sweet enough to send over these lovely photos of my host sister Camille's wedding in July. The bridesmaids and groomsmen are replaced by enfants d'honneur whose adorable blue and yellow outfits — Peter Pan collars and pleated skirts included! — my host mom sewed over the course of my semester abroad. That's my host mom, Marine, in the last photo with the newlyweds, Alexandre and Camille, and my host dad, Arnaud. Don't they look lovely? Such fun to see how it all came together!

Canopy Beds

There are few things more sublime than a canopy bed draped dramatically in pale fabric. To get the look in your own home, start with a simple platform bed and invest in a canopy crown. Imagine closing the drapes for a cozy night's sleep and opening them to sunshine streaming through the windows each morning... It's the eye mask 2.0!

Designer Treehouses

I'm certain I would enjoy having a treehouse as much today as I would have ten years ago. Granted these aren't your average set-up — we're talking spiral staircases, rope bridges, and wraparound porches! Wouldn't it be fun to "camp out" or watch the sun set from one of these darling dwellings? A childhood dream come true!

A Masculine Motif

{My work featured on Design*Sponge}

As you may recall, I've been searching high and low for masculine interior inspiration. Now I'm not much for antlers or taxidermy, but I adore the graphic appeal of the American flag and the Union Jack. Paired with handsome hard woods and dark matte walls, these motifs lend masculine allure and patriotic flair. I even painted my Anglophile boyfriend, who spent last semester studying business in London, a Union Jack campaign dresser! What do you think?

A Different Kind of Cape

I'm smitten with the newest shape for fall: the poncho-esque silhouette of the cape coat. Belted, hooded, or paired with a scarf, it is the perfect piece to keep you snug and sophisticated this season. Whatever your plans this weekend, I hope you'll find a way to stay cozy, healthy, and happy! Until Monday, my dears!

Think Pink

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought we'd dedicate a day to all things pink: fabulous cocktail dresses, tufted chairs, and unforgettable art. Don't you adore the top photo of Miranda Kerr? I would love a hot pink dress for my sorority's formals this year — pair it with a little turquoise à la Cameron Diaz and call it a night!
