Bag Lady

Currently coveting more than a few clutches and handbags from Shopbop. What is it about this time of year that sends me into a shopping frenzy? 

{Tory Burch Norah Zip Continental Wallet in Soleil Yellow, $195}

{Madewell Vintage Mini Bag in True Black, $98}

{Foley + Corinna Mid City Tote in Ash, $395}

{Tory Burch Vintage Metallic Zip Continental Wallet in Rose Gold, $195}

{Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini Bag in Electric Fuchsia, $495}

{Halston Heritage Jenny Folded Clutch in Scarlet, $195}

What are your fall fashion must-haves?


P.S. Thank you for all the sweet comments about the updated look but I must tell you that this new layout has nothing to do with the redesign I'm working on with Jessica from The Love List! Just me playing around and trying to make the blog a little more sophisticated for you all ;) Worry not — a new header and a few other surprises are on their way!

Black & White

There is no color combination so foolproof as classic black and white. I really don't know whether it can be done wrong — and that's saying something! 

{Canadian House & Home}

Black doors are the perfect complement to a white palette with gold accents.

{Douglas Friedman}

I wouldn't mind returning home to this apartment foyer with its painted brick and whitewashed floors. 

{via Apartment #34}

Don't you love the edge that black trim lends to this otherwise monochromatic kitchen?

{Douglas Friedman}

A little gloss never hurts either! I love the overgrown bouquet and stacks of books in this simple but chic space.

{via Decorology}

Renters and commitment-phobes need not worry — just a dash of black paint transforms a clean-lined credenza into a graphic masterpiece.

{B&B Italia via Haute Design}

Even a pair of throw pillows will do the trick! I love these, these, and these from new sponsor Fabricadabra.

How do you use black and white in your home? It might just be my new go-to!

Olga's flawless fabric choices cover all the latest design trends. I would love this suzani pinwheel print propped up against this sage green armchair, wouldn't you?

{via Houzz}

I love the design of this red and purple suzani — and you already know i love the color combo! How fun would it be on a red chippendale chair?

{via The Decorista}

Ikat is everywhere right now and I don't see why it shouldn't be incorporated into this lovely little seating area as well. A white armchair trimmed with nailheads and topped with red ikat? To die for!

{$50 for the pair}

{Ashley Whittaker}

Still itching for your imperial trellis fix? This pair would be perfect for an end-of-summer soirée.
