Desk Du Jour

{Lonny}

My ideal workspace would have a wide desk like this one where I could spread out my things without feeling cramped or disorganized. Granted a sleek red leather chair and stacked lacquer boxes wouldn't hurt!

I Heart Symmetry

While I appreciate those who can live with asymmetry, this type A personality much prefers symmetrical alignment for frames, furniture, you name it. The graphic impact of a matching frames — be it two or twenty — is so strong that I can't imagine doing it any other way. How do you prefer your gallery walls?

My Sweetheart

I have formals for my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, this evening and I'll be donning a simple LBD with a sweetheart neckline à la these leading ladies. Whether it's gracing Angelina Jolie's classic gown or Lauren Conrad's day-to-night number, a sweetheart neckline is a one-way ticket to flawless femininity. What are your fashionable plans this weekend?

Gray Glamour

I'm looking to these lovely ladies for a reminder that gray does not need to be dreary. Gray outerwear is a timeless basic while a gray cardigan dresses down a sparkly dress for daytime. Which look is your favorite?

Pour Les Hommes

{Todd Yoggy}

In my ongoing quest to seek out decorating tips for men (see here and here), I've noticed an abundance of boudoirs with charcoal walls. Paired with gold accessories or leather accents, the color appeals to both sexes in ways that few others do. Could you cope with a gray bedroom? I think it would be the ultimate in cozy chic!

Royal Blue

Royal blue is flattering on every skin tone and a festive alternative to your run-of-the-mill LBD. Keep it classy in a cocktail dress that hits just above the knee à la Camilla Belle or go for all-out glamour in a floor-length number like Kristen Bell or Demi Moore's. Why not try out this unexpected hue for your next holiday fête?
