Loren Hope Spring/Summer 2012

You know those designers who can do no wrong in your book? For me, that's Loren Hope. I've collected a few of her pieces over the past couple years and I swear they're the most complimented pieces in my collection! You may have noticed some of her baubles in my new boutique but now it's her lookbook that's really got me going...
Turquoise chandeliers and a red lip? Don't mind if I do!
Match your earrings to your necklace to your bracelets? When it looks this good, I say why not!
This necklace makes quite the statement for $88!
A colorblock necklace? Oh Loren, you've really done it this time...

Shop her new collection here! What are your favorite pieces?

Chez Camille

Have you seen the stunning tour of my girl Camille's home in Austin on Design*Sponge this week? If not you are in for a treat this morning. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...
Hello, cozy furnishings, high ceilings, and the kitchen of my dreams! Of course Camille is an entertaining goddess so she probably needs that kitchen more than I do ;) Congratulations Camille on the exciting press and thanks for sharing your gorgeous home with all of us!

Takin' Care of Business

Whew! What a whirlwind yesterday was with the launch of the new boutique. Thank you to everyone who blogged, tweeted, purchased, etc. The support has been exhilarating and I have lots of packing and shipping to do!

Of course this blog will remain exactly what it's always been: a place to share fashion and interiors that inspire me and tidbits about what's going on in my world. So please continue to tune in for two daily posts and plenty of inspiration. I promise I'll only blab about the boutique sometimes :) 

Now, back to business, er, new arrivals at J.Crew...



This little get-up is something I'd wear for a day in the city, meeting with bloggers or brands and transitioning for dinner in the evening. I also think it's a great look for most creative work environments! How fab is the navy leopard cardigan? Even saying the words makes me happy ;) What new arrivals are you eyeing? Have a fantastic weekend and thank you again!!!
