Jordana Brewster Home Style








Flipping through the May issue of InStyle on my flight Sunday I came across this piece on Jordana Brewster's lovely home in the Hollywood hills. Such a lovely space - so light and airy. She says that collections and clutter make her anxious. I feel ya. Brewster lives with her husband and notes that decorating with your significant other is "one of the most trying things a couple can do." This I understand.

Royal Perfection

Sigh... in a world with so many terrible things happening, it is so nice to be able to celebrate something so beautiful. Kate was stunning in McQueen, as was Pippa in her long ivory gown with lace trim. It's so fun to watch a real life fairy tale play out.





In the spirit of nuptial bliss, I wanted to share some of my favorites from my wedding files (of course I have one!)

Pillow Talk

I wanted to share a couple links I've been crushing on...

Luxury Monograms






Industrial Style




Last week I stayed home sick (cough, cough) and was able to enjoy an afternoon of Nate Berkus. He featured some crazy gorgeous industrial style desk lamps and I fell in love. I love the idea of mixing this raw look with some more feminine touches and am currently in search of one for my back room/office space. The one above is from Anthropologie and is way out of my budget at $350. Any suggestions on where to look for a more affordable option?

Gray: Fashion to Furnishing

That gray bench is amazing.

Love the nails and bangle on this monochromatic look.

It's pretty gray and rainy here in Chicago today, so I thought I'd post a couple of beautiful images in honor of this nasty weather.

A style icon






Last night I got around to watching the newest episode of Gossip Girl, and while it made me crave a long weekend trip to Manhattan, it also made me realize that Leighton Meester is absolutely one of my style icons. While I love her buttoned-up, Upper East side couture on GG, her real life style is a little more, well, real.
