HAPPY (ALMOST) HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

What a week! A huge thank you to everyone who came out for the Kate Spade party last night. It was such a special evening and I'll have lots of pictures to share with you next week! In the mean time here's a little style inspiration for your (almost) holiday weekend!

White on white with a wrist full of pearls. Who could say no to that?

A red lip and little black dress fit for holiday festivities.

Girly detail on the perfect cozy white sweater.

Would you dare to wear a tutu? I think the look is cute, fun, and unexpected.

Sparkly shoes — and the same pair I happened to be wearing at the party last night! Have a great weekend everyone! xx

LYNN MORGAN DESIGN

Thank goodness for Pinterest. I feel like I'm constantly stumbling upon new blogs, designers, products, you name it. One of my recent discoveries is the work of Lynn Morgan, a Connecticut interior designer whose work speaks to my love of all things blue and white. Without further ado...

Stunning, right? The last space is possibly the cutest, coziest living room I've ever seen. Then again there's a lot to love: the arched doorways, cushy seating, outdoor seating... What's one thing your dream home wouldn't be complete without?

Who's with me? Here are fifteen current favorites catching my eye:
