DREAM HOME {FURNITURE FILE}

one  //  two  //  three  //  four  //  five  //  six  //  seven  //  eight

There are a few pieces of furniture that I consider lifetime wishlist items — not pieces I could realistically splurge on in the next couple years but "someday" purchases totally fit for a dream home. My someday list above features a few of my all-time favorites: a bright birdcage chair, classic campaign pieces, colorful chandeliers, and a little lucite, always. Do you have a furniture wishlist? If so, I'm dying to know what's on it!

P.S. On a more wallet-friendly note, affordable campaign furniture and how to decorate on a budget.

RALPH LAUREN STREET STYLE

I'm absolutely enamored with my friend Fred's photographs taken outside the Ralph Lauren show last week. Just when I thought I couldn't stand another snowflake, this winter wardrobe inspiration seriously brightened up my Instagram feed. Boys, get yourself an orange coat and girls, double up on winter white. For more sartorial snaps, follow Fred on Instagram or check out his blog Unabashedly Prep.

INTERIOR INSPIRATION: SARA RUFFIN COSTELLO

This project took my breath away! It's a bachelor pad in downtown NYC decorated by Sara Ruffin Costello (whose entire portfolio is a sight for sore eyes). This is the kind of masculine decor I can totally get behind: antique rugs, cool art, oversized chairs, painted exposed brick, and a palette of gray, white, and wood tones. Yes please. Here are a few pieces to create a similar feel (though, really, this apartment is one of a kind!)...

THE ULTIMATE SPRING WARDROBE...

one / two / three / four / five / six / seven / eight / nine / ten / eleven / twelve / thirteen / fourteen / fifteen

Okay, you guys. I think I've done it: I think I've compiled the wishlist to end all wishlists. This is everything I'd like to be wearing for the next 3-5 months... Elevated knits, gorgeous gingham, lots of navy, plenty of stripes, and just one or two trendier pieces (I think I'm warming up to the idea of a chic pair of mules...?). 

You'll notice a couple of these items are from new-to-me line Margaux Lonnberg, whose effortlessly chic knits are basically the stuff my dreams are made of. Were those striped pants not made for spring picnics in Central Park? Feel free to join me in ignoring the snow outside and saving up for a spring shopping spree... Only 34 days until the first day of spring but, hey, who's counting? ;)

PRETTY IN PINK

Flower  //  closet  //  cookies  //  cardigan  //  framed silk scarf  //  exterior  //  monogrammed tray

Pink is such a happy color, don't you think? I have a few pink peonies left in my apartment after Sunday's blogger brunch and I perk up every time I walk by them. I've moved on from my college "must paint everything pink" phase (my senior year bedroom was borderline neon...) but I still think a little pink here and there can totally make an outfit or a room!

SHOPPING FOR SPRING...

T-shirt  //  baseball cap  //  heels  //  tray  //  dress  //  sweater  //  ballet flats

I don't know about you but I have had it up to here with the snow in New York. The only thing that seems to help is reminding myself that it will be March by the time I move into a new apartment and that's one step closer to spring in the city. I cannot wait to put my puffer coat and winter hat away for the season! Here are a few spring things that caught my eye. Bring on the hot pink, linen, and stripes!

DESIGN DARLING BLOGGER BRUNCH

Yesterday I hosted twenty of my very favorite bloggers for a fashion week escape on the rooftop of the Gramercy Park Hotel. This was really the first event I've ever planned and hosted and I'm so excited that it went off without a hitch! The blogger brunch was a wonderful excuse to don a pretty dress, gather friends from all over the country, and toast to the upcoming second anniversary of my boutique. Peach bellinis, pink peonies, and the most awesome, inspiring, and stylish bunch of young women... Really, what more could a girl want? Gratitude doesn't begin to cover it. Note to self: must do this again soon.

Outfit details:

Opening Ceremony dress (I used Rent The Runway!)  //  Loren Hope earrings  //  Alice & Olivia heels

Table details:

Tortoiseshell glasses  //  Striped straws

Bloggers you need to know about!

Amy Stone  //  A Piece of Toast  //  Bows & Sequins

College Prepster  //  Corals & Cognacs  //  Dallas Wardrobe

Gal Meets Glam  //  House of Harper  //  Look Linger Love

M.A.S. Fashion  //  Matchbook Magazine  //  Stripes & Sequins

Style & Pepper  //  vmac+cheese  //  Wit & Whimsy

HANDBAG CRUSH: MELI MELO

{Colour pop wallet}

{Electric ID case}

{Cappuccino bag}

{Leonie key fob}

{Thela tan tote}

Do you remember this post on Olivia Palermo's super chic Meli Melo handbag? Well I just popped over to their website on a whim and couldn't get enough of their other leather goods. Olivia's bag is definitely still at the top of my wishlist but really, there were too many cute new goodies not to share. Are you kidding with with that lion key fob? Maybe it's the Leo in me but I'm in looove.
