The Long And Short Of It

Shorts are a surprisingly versatile staple that work double duty for day, night, summer, and fall alike. Don't believe me? Look to these leading ladies for a little transitional wardrobe inspiration.

March Style Icon Gwyneth Paltrow rocks a high-waisted pair with a simple white button-down, mixed metal accessories, and black pointed toe pumps. 

Blake Lively, who made an appearance in my Style Icon series in February, works the same palette in a down-to-there white blazer...

...and updates the formula with a sequined blazer and oxford pumps for an evening appearance. 

A summer tan pairs well with a pale blue blazer, khaki shorts, and gorgeous leather heels — and suits April Style Icon Cameron Diaz's casually chic style to a T.

A wool blazer and tweed shorts work well paired with neutral tights for fall.

Positively obsessed with the look on the left! Pink shorts and a metallic jacket make for effortless summer-into-fall chic.

P.S. I'll be over at Splendid Willow today sharing a summer postcard and I hope you'll meet me there!

Papered Powder Rooms

I've long preferred paint over wallpaper (too many hours spent stripping paper in an aunt's kitchen I think) but these pretty bathrooms have me reconsidering. Graphic wallpaper is perfect for small rooms like bathrooms and closets where you can make a big statement without worrying about how to decorate around it.

The forever chic Scalamandré zebra paper that I swooned over in Kate Spade's bathroom is again gorgeous with gold accents and exposed plumbing. I swear this design firm can do no wrong!

How darling is this black and white chair pattern? It reminds me of Annechovie's wildly chic chair prints. Note the black ceiling — design is in the details.

Monogrammed hand towels are the perfect finishing touch in this floral bath. What a welcoming addition for guests!

Have you wallpapered any rooms in your house? Do you restrict bold patterns to smaller rooms? And lastly have you seen Jonathan Adler's insane collection of wallpaper? To die for.

Back In Action

{via {This Is Glamorous}}

My sincere apologies for falling behind on blogging last week. As some of you may know, I am in the midst of moving into my off-campus house at Bucknell and have been buried in a sea of boxes and clothes for the past few days. Add to the mix catching up with friends whom I hadn't seen since leaving for France last January, attending rush meetings for my sorority, and training for my job with Alumni Relations and it's been one busy week! Daily blogging will resume immediately and I promise I'll return your comments and emails the first chance I get. Thank you for hanging in there!
