Cozy Eclectic

I discovered this amazing home over at Style at Home the other day. I can't get enough of the deft mix of modern/quirky/vintage/cool that is exhibited throughout this loft space. Best of all - the spectacular blackboard wall in the bedroom... gorgeous!

Glam Loft

There's a great video over at Canadian House and Home about mixing bold fabrics with vintage style. I love the loft they feature, which belongs to designer Sabrina Linn. So chic! Check out the video here, and some stills below...

Inspirational Interiors

I hope you all had a fantastic holiday last week! It's been a while since I've posted (the fiancee and I took a trip to Alabama to see the family), so I am happy to be back with a few of my favorite interiors from the inspiration files. Enjoy!

Happy Weekend!

I hope you all have lovely plans this weekend! As for me, I'll be wearing this dress to a holiday party, and it's supposed to snow too - all very festive don't you think?! 

Tell me about any holiday parties you've been going to! Are you dressing up? If so, what are you wearing?

Great Layers

How amazing is the styling in the pre-fall 2010 presentation from Diane von Furstenberg? The coats are fab, and I love the layering and the super-cool accessories. I always find it more challenging to be stylish in the winter, but these images are so inspiring and give me ideas for how to look chic and original while braving the less-than-warm weather (yeah, yeah, the bare legs and short shorts aren't going to be happening right now, but that's what tights and coats are for...)

Holiday Wish List - (Mostly) Under $100

Bright, poppy colors and graphic prints make me happy all year long, and especially when I see them inside a recently opened Christmas package! Maybe some of these fun little items will inspire you as you finish your last-minute holiday shopping...

Tuesday Eye Candy... Cool Neutrals

Beige, brown and black clearly do not have to be boring (especially when accented with bits of glimmer and shine), as demonstrated in these cool interiors, and in these designs from Tory Burch's pre-fall 2010 collection...

A Riot of Color

This home, belonging to textile designer Lisa Fine and featured in the fabulous new December issue of Lonny Magazine, is a true feast for the eyes, don't you think? I simply cannot get enough of the joyous mix of colors and patterns!

Rabbit Ears for Me...

Is it wrong that I want a pair of luxe, exaggerated bunny ears to wear out on the town? The bunny ear trend has been around all fall, famously appearing on Louis Vuitton's fall 09 runway and showing up on the heads of famous ladies like the Olsen sisters and Lady Gaga. And now Topshop (yes, I know I mentioned it last week) has a pair that go easy on the wallet at $36. So tempting, though I'm not sure it can be pulled off on the fairly conservative streets of Philadelphia... Thoughts?

Happy Weekend!

Hope you all have a very happy weekend! Personally I could stand to do some gift wrapping, and some decorating too. How about you guys? Anything festive on the agenda?
