It's Christmas Eve! I'm wishing you all a happy holiday filled with family, friends, and all kinds of fun. Don't forget to check back this afternoon for the winner of the January sponsorship giveaway — and a little something extra for everyone else!
Desk Du Jour
Are you as smitten with this stunning workspace as I am? Featured in the sophomore issue of Rue Magazine, the office combines ballet pink walls with hints of velvety yellow and soft turquoise. I love the gold art and the lucite tray while my other essentials — fresh flowers and a stack of magazines — have me wanting to move right in.
P.S. Did you hear that I'm the new editorial assistant for Rue?
P.P.S. Did you know there's still time to win a free sponsorship for the month of January?
Future Style Icon?
{via The Style Objective}
I love this picture of fashion darling Alexa Chung posing for photographers in her demure winter coat and fabulous cap-toe pumps. She is someone who may soon join the legions of ladies who have been featured as a Style Icon on my little blog. Who else deserves the title?
P.S. January sponsorship giveaway is still open!
The Maxi Skirt
It's official: the maxi skirt is the new it silhouette for spring. J.Crew's gorgeous wedding skirt has been out for a while but it was the sight of Kate Bosworth in a stunning mint green Jil Sander number that has pushed the maxi skirt into the spotlight. I can't wait to test out this fresh shape for spring and summer! What's your take on the trend?
P.S. Don't forget to enter the January sponsorship giveaway! The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve.

I thought I would share a few snapshots of my family home in Connecticut. It is so nice to be home for the holidays and have time to catch up with my parents, siblings, and precious pups. Don't forget to enter the January sponsorship giveaway!

The Most Perfect Pantry
I think I would die and go to heaven if this pantry magically appeared in my home. Floor-to-ceiling open shelving and transparent glass canisters make for a very utilitarian chic display. Would you expect anything less from the styling genius that is Emersonmade? See more of her darling seaside retreat here.
P.S. Check back during the day for Design Darling's very first giveaway!
I Wish I Could Draw
Behold the beautiful illustrations of Garance Doré, the wildly popular French fashion photographer whose eponymous blog has garnered international attention for her refreshingly carefree spirit and her glamourous portraits of girls with great personal style. Don't these illustrations make you wish you could draw? Or at least purchase her work somewhere online?
Leopard In The Home
{Metropolitan Home}
Leopard, how I love thee! It's a print that works incredibly well in small doses but how do you feel about it as the primary hue in these homes? Mary McDonald's leopard gallery wall — and upholstery — is beautifully accented with gold and black frames. The leopard runner is a fabulous focal point in a swanky black-and-white foyer but my favorite space, hands down, is Aerin Lauder's orange living room with its leopard sofa! It's not for the faint of heart but I think it's spunky and chic. Would you dare?
