"Girls look beautiful when they feel beautiful."

Back To, Um, School
First day of classes! I'm giving myself a little leeway in this final semester and starting off with dance conditioning, a mix of pilates and yoga that counts as a half credit course! Now if only I looked as flawless as Miranda Kerr...

Style Icon {Taylor Sterling}
She's as cute as they come and embodies California cool to the max. Ladies and gentlemen, Taylor Sterling of Sterling Style! I love that she sticks to the classics (ahem, J.Crew) but works in trendier pieces like the maxi skirt above — and I'm seriously coveting her Rebecca Minkoff bag! What do you think of this California girl's laid-back look?
Blue & Yellow For The Boys
There is something surprisingly masculine about the combination of navy blue and rich yellow in these two spaces. Paired with gold accents and herringbone floors, these are the sort of spaces upon which a husband and wife might just agree.

Domestic Goddess
Cooking and cleaning have never been more glamorous than in the photography of Pamela Hanson. Matching bra and panty sets, serious bling, and perfectly disheveled hair make this shoot a personal favorite. If only my chores looked this good!
If Only
If I had to dress myself exclusively in one collection this season, it would be, hands down, that of Emersonmade. It's everything I'm craving right now: blouses with bows, dark denim, and tailored silhouettes. If you're as smitten as I am, new arrivals are available for pre-order now. I don't know how long I'll be able to resist — that tuxedo jacket is just killing me!
Desk Du Jour
Hey you, happy Monday! Here's to a productive week for the both of us. I think this workspace would give us both a jump start, for navy velvet is sure to get those creative juices flowing. Designed and styled by Emily Henderson, the office finds that happy medium between rigid organization (I'm talking to you, magazine holders) and lived-in personality (that's you, inspiration board). I had the pleasure of meeting Emily at the Rue party in September and can't wait to see her forthcoming HGTV show Secrets of a Stylist. Are you impressed by this peek into her portfolio?
Our Weekend
Behold the ice rink my dad built on our front lawn! I tweeted a few of these already but I think he deserves all the credit he can get. It's such fun to see my boyfriend Michael and my little brother Camden playing together — I only wish we had ice skates for our puppies, Coach and Fenway! Wouldn't that be the cutest? I hope your weekend is filled with lots of ice time and hot chocolate. See you back here on Monday!

P.S. If you're new to Design Darling (welcome!) and totally lost, I've explained my 101 in 1,001 initiative here.
