Hot And Cold

How pretty are these cool gray walls paired with warm pinks and reds? It's an unexpected combination that works wonders in libraries and living rooms alike. Add in some bright white upholstery and a sparkly chandelier and I could move right in!

Shimmery Chic

Is your current wardrobe looking a little less than glamorous these days? (Mine is.) Look no further than these leading ladies for your next closet update. Why not pick up a sparkly blazer or a shimmery skirt? Whether you're rocking a ball gown or a blouse, sequins are a quick fix for outfits that need that extra something. Let it shine, ladies!


P.S. I'm going to try my hand at blogging twice a day. Check back at one o'clock for an interiors post!

The Cold Shoulder

Asymmetrical black dresses are everywhere right now. Do you prefer Kate Moss' glamorous take or Gwyneth Paltrow's more laid-back vibe?

Erin Rocks My World

I just ordered these fabulous Jeffrey Campbell flats off of Shopbop. Surely they're worth the full $130, but the icing on the cake is that they were just $30 thanks to the generous gift certificate that I won on Apartment #34! Expanding my shoe collection? Just one more reason to love Erin and her gorgeous blog. You simply must stop by and say hello. Merci beaucoup, mon amie!

Leather-Bound

The Clutch in Natural

Vintage RUST BROWN Large Doctor Bag
I've been noticing a leather-loving trend in my Etsy favorites lately: the perfectly simple eyeglass case, a chic linen clutch, and a fabulous travel bag — all done up in rich tan leather. Parfait!

White Walls, Black Accents

I love these light and bright spaces offset by dark accent walls. Peppered with rows and rows of books, the look oozes with effortless sophistication that's delightfully gender neutral.

P.S. This is my 300th post! Here's to many, many more :)

Jump On It

These black jumpsuits are the epitome of effortless modern chic. Wear yours with a scarf à la Kate Hudson or better yet paired with a leopard shoe like Diane Kruger. To die for!

Les Animaux

The Original Chalk Board Horse - Obsidian

vintage dark leather rhinoceros
I'm inexplicably pining after these vintage statues of some of my favorite animals — the elephant being number one, of course! I think the little lion would make a darling paperweight while the horse and the rhinoceros ought to come live in my bookshelves. What are your thoughts?

Lovely Layers

These super chic ladies know the secret to staying warm in this weather: layering! Stock your closet with chunky knits, lightweight scarves, and tailored blazers for a well-rounded wardrobe that will transition effortlessly from fall into winter. 

Portraiture

I'm head over heels for the larger-than-life portraits in these two spaces. I love the Native American man but I'm certain an enlarged black-and-white family photo would have the same transformative impact. Do you prefer these over a more traditional gallery wall?
