I'm A Winner And So Are You!

Big thanks to Sara Kate of Dwelling & Design, Victoria of vmac+cheese, Annie and Elizabeth of The Now Stylebook, and Allie of Desire Design Delight for gifting me with the Stylish Blogger Award! I'm supposed to share seven things about myself and pass it along to ten more people but I can't think of seven surprising things and truthfully I hate to choose so I'm going to do this instead:

1. If you'd like to learn more about me, head here or here (or simply stay tuned for my about page!).

2. If you're so inclined to reveal seven things about yourself, consider yourself a winner! I would love to see your posts so simply comment with a link here once you've posted.

Thank you, ladies!

Signature Scent

No. 74 on my 101 in 1001 list is to find my signature scent. Doesn't that seem like something every young lady should know? I feel silly for not having one and never replaced my last bottle when it ran out. Of course it seems like a fairly frivolous task but in reality I imagine it might be rather daunting. Tell me, what is your preferred perfume?

Shake It Like A Polaroid Picture

I cannot for the life of me remember where I found this picture but I do know I'm very much in favor of taping hundreds of polaroid snaps within a larger-than-life frame. Can you imagine family and friends stopping to stare at each of the photos? The display would be truly mesmerizing!

Two By Train

These romantic shots captured by Michelle Holden remind me of the six months I spent in France last year. From the people to the transportation, everything is prettier and sexier in Europe! Do take a spin through the travel blog I kept if you're interested in seeing where I've been.

Styling S.O.S.

I've promised pictures of my boudoir for too long and now that I have a willing photographer and a few angles in mind, I'm freezing on the styling. It's already a big step for me to have the room clean enough to shoot — but ready for its close-up? We're not quite there. Does anyone care to share their fail-safe tips for styling interiors?

J.Crew Spring 2011

If this post didn't convince you that I love this collection, allow me to count the ways: head-to-toe white, different shades of pink-on-pink, studs on a sweater, pleats here, ruffles there, sequins everywhere. Yes, yes, and yes.

P.S. Thank you all for your compliments about my new look courtesy of Gadabout. I am so excited you love it as much as I do!

Don't Be Tardy For The Party

I apologize for ducking out early today but it's time for me to get dolled up for the Rue issue three party! I'll be stopping by Jonathan Adler's stall at NYIGF and meeting Miss Roxy for dinner and drinks before the soirée at The New Traditionalists' showroom this evening. Enjoy the new site and I'll see you back here tomorrow!
