Caitlin McGauley

I've said it before but I'll say it again: Caitlin McGauley rocks my world! You may recognize her watercolors from the pages of Lonny Magazine, but did you know that she also paints Watercolor Wednesdays for the Lonny blog? It's the perfect way to get your fix between issues ;) How striking are her portraits of fashion icon Iris Apfel and Vogue editor Hamish Bowles? They're the perfect start to a new week!

Semi-Sheer

I love these flirty looks that combine sheer and solid blacks. There's something about the simple shape, the sheer overlay, and her unfussy black peep-toes that makes Selma Blair's look my favorite, though I do love Jessica Biel's bow! Which look is your favorite?

Happy weekend, everyone!

Sugar Paper

I'm swooning over the custom stationery in new-to-me Sugar Paper's portfolio. Raspberry envelopes, gold type, polka dot liners, scalloped edges... Design is in the details!

Kate Powers

I'm head over heels for these new additions to the stunning portfolio of photographer Kate Powers. I love the model's subdued makeup and coral manicure, not to mention the Rothko paintings surrounding her. Don't even get me started on her polka dot skirt — to die for!

Desk Du Jour

I'm thinking my efforts to write final papers today would be more effective if I could write them in an office like Miss Kelly Wearstler's! Bright yellow walls, huge abstract art, the most awesome modern desk, and crazy cool pink chairs... It's a far cry from my outpost in Starbucks!

Seasonal Sparkle

Just a little gold and silver to brighten your Tuesday afternoon! It's my last day of classes for the semester and I'm certainly in need of a little sleep sparkle myself.

Window Seats

A window seat is definitely on the list of requirements for my dream home. I love everything about the first space: white walls, herringbone floors, and gorgeous bay windows. Do you like window seats? Which of these spaces is your favorite?
