Crunch Time!

A little glimpse at my weekly to do list...


1. A ten-page paper about the theme of betrayal in 17th century French theater. Yikes.

3. An eight-page paper about non-traditional family structures and sex trafficking around the world.

4. A "Meet The Designer" piece for Rue.

5. A "Rue Shops [insert surprise city here]" piece.

6. A home tour piece for Rue.

7. Another home tour piece for Rue.

8. Book my flight to San Francisco.

9. Send out emails for a super fun, top secret project for Roxy's forthcoming Society Social furniture line.

What's keeping you busy this week? Deep breaths.

New arrivals at Loren Hope!!!

My favorite jewelry designer just released her summer collection and, let me just tell you, I. Am. Obsessed.  You know when you see something you must have and get all giddy inside? That just happened... about ten times.
{Well somebody just skyrocketed to the top of my wishlist. How pretty is she?! Dabney bib necklace, $175.}

{I mean, hello. Gold + bling + pink jade = perfection. Layer it with other gold pieces or let it shine on its own. Chloe necklace, $115.}
{Just look at all that tassle-y goodness! Your plain white t-shirt will never look the same. Need. Farrah necklace, $185.}

{You'll never need to buy another necklace again. Statement-making, totally unique, and just a little bit edgy... What more could you ask for? Cleopatra necklace, $90.}
Okay, now this is brilliant. You can buy a plain clasp necklace for $45 and then attach and switch out pendants separately! Lately I've been rocking this one:
{And I swear it transforms every outfit! Deco pendant, $45.}
{I also own this pretty sparkler (can you tell I'm a little obsessed?) and throw it on whenever I feel like my outfit is missing that special something. It hasn't failed me yet! Sophie bib necklace, $75.}

I could rave about Loren Hope all day, every day. It's fantastic to have sponsors whose work I truly love and covet for myself. I hope you'll enjoy her baubles as much as I do!

Sabrina Linn

I had blogged about the second row right image before and was delighted to stumbled upon more of this Sabrina Linn-designed penthouse. Isn't it stunning? 
{I love the neutral scheme of this living area. The combination of orange velvet and white upholstery is unexpectedly chic, but it's the large abstract art that steals the show.}
{How opulent is this workspace? I can only imagine looking out onto that kind of view in between blog posts!}
{A round mirror is an unexpected alternative over the bathroom sink. I adore the oversized idea board in what looks to be the foyer, proving that inspiration is indeed everywhere!}

P.S. Luxury Monograms giveaway happening here!
