Springtime Strapless

One of my morning rituals is to click through Shopbop's new arrivals. It seems I'm dreaming of warmer weather as yesterday I fell madly in love with Parker's Solid Strapless Top ($187). The sweetheart neckline and flouncy peplum are delightfully feminine, while the piped boning and exposed zipper give it structure. It would be a brilliant basic for covering up with a navy blazer now and pairing with white jeans come summer!

Matte Black

I adore these three spaces and their matte black walls. Tempered with white and paired with natural elements like tan leather, tortoise lamps, and deer antlers, black can be unbelievably chic. It makes sense that I would love black interiors since I wear so much black clothing, right?

Chic Shelving

I love the combination of pale blue-green bookcases and brassy collectibles in supermodel Coco Rocha's apartment, published in Vogue. Toss in white book covers and green glass bottles and you have a look that exudes easy glamour. What are some of your styling secrets?

Happy Menocal

I fortuitously stumbled upon the artwork of Happy Menocal yesterday on my friend Lindsay's gorgeous new blog The Pursuit of Style. She has collaborated with Jonathan Adler and Stubbs & Wootton while her paintings have graced the pages of House Beautiful and Town & Country. A small selection of prints is available on her website and she welcomes custom commissions (like the gorgeous crests above!) via email. How I would love to hang one of her colorful creations above my desk to keep me inspired while I work!

Oldie But Goodie

This immaculately organized bathroom and dressing room featured in Canadian House & Home made the rounds long ago, but there's good reason for its popularity! I adore its built-in shelving and hexagonal floor tiles but it's the ladder that won me over. It's equal parts decorative and practical — what's not to love about that?

Color Blocking

Good morning, lovies! I thought we'd start the morning with a little fashion inspiration. Malin Akerman and Leighton Meester know the color blocking trend is sticking around for another season. Malin's tonal combination is an easy pick for "best dressed," but Leighton's barely there top is forcing me to reconsider my favorite. Whose take on the trend do you prefer?

Thoughts For 2011...

You've Done It Again

Topping my to do list this time of year is the task of writing thank you notes for all the lovely presents I received! Thankfully (ha!) my dear cousin Chelsea gave me these beautiful Kate Spade thank you notes which makes it that much easier to check off the list. With quips like "you shouldn't have, but I'm so glad you did" and "how did you know?", these newest additions to my stationery collection make saying merci that much merrier.
