i love the french doors and the lucite coffee table.
aren't the chairs amazing? i love how nicely the art above the fireplace complements the throw pillows on the couch.
what do you think? boyfriends and husbands aside, could you handle a pink room?
pink pick-me-up
i find myself needing a little pick-me-up this morning and it seems that a shot of pink is just the trick. i fell in love with this space by ames ingham when i spotted it on fallon's beautiful blog a lovely being — we've seen so many spaces with a pop of pink in flowers or pillows but i love the risk the designer took with pink paint on the walls. doesn't it look fabulous? it's definitely not for everyone but i think i would feel right at home.
rent the runway!
happy monday, everyone. please tell me you've all heard of rent the runway! for those of you new to the game, the concept is this: pick a pretty dress (or skirt or necklace or cocktail ring) that you could never afford at retail price, rent it for four days, dazzle your friends with your cost-savvy designer duds, and return the dress after your event. they'll even deliver it in two sizes so you can be guaranteed the perfect fit!
retail: $535
rent the runway: $75
retail: $415
rent the runway: $65
i love the idea — especially for those of you in the throes of wedding season! — since it's frustrating to invest in a pricey dress and find you won't wear it more than once with the same crowd (case in point: my beloved alice + olivia prom dress). yes, you could always go the forever 21 route, but wouldn't it be so much more fun to waltz in wearing giambattista valli or hervé léger? click here to find the perfect look for your next event.
something new {friday finds}
i thought i'd add a new little feature to the blog on fridays wherein i link to some of my favorite finds from the past week. i think it'll be a nice way to share the love and send you off to enjoy some lovely links to my favorite blogs, shops, etc.!
this week in blogland:
daniella shared her thoughts on collections...
this lucky lady got engaged (don't get me started on that ring!)...
j.crew delighted with new arrivals for you and yours...
this darling landed her first teaching job...
this controversial dialogue on decorating fees jenny opened up was not to be missed...
and katie found the cutest kiddo you ever did see (with a little surprise at the end!).
this weekend i'm photographing a little project for my sister's bedroom, scouring my local library for chelsea handler's first book and season one of mad men (do you watch?!), and hopefully catching a pilates class or two at some point. what are you up to?
