From (Dorothy Draper protege and master interior designer) Carlton Varney's new book, Mr. Color: The Greenbriar and Other Decorating Adventures... a must for my coffee table for sure!

Spied these St. Kilda enamel lip cuffs on Garance Dore's blog today, and now I'm obsessed...

fashion week fantasies {jason wu}
In my fantasies, I dream of dressing like this every day....

obsessed and inspired {marcus hay)
I can't get enough of these lovely interiors from stylist Marcus Hay. So much here inspires me in regards to my own home. The french doors would be perfect for letting more light in, and the gray walls are the perfect backdrop for the works of art and whimsical collections. For more eye candy...

a rainy day...
It's been grey and gloomy in Philadelphia this week, which has me craving softly-muted interiors such as this lovely one above. The color palette is so relaxing, but I like that there's still lots to look at with the gallery-style walls and unique accessories. Hopefully the sun will return soon, but for now having spaces like this to dream about isn't a bad thing.

so chic!
Judy Aldridge of Atlantis Home is one stylish lady. Observe...
Seriously, this is one of the best day outfits I've seen in a while. Her way with color is exceptional, and wow, does she know how to rock the accessories...
These pics are going up on my wardrobe inspiration board immediately. Love love love!

things i like together
Pal + Smith's newly designed boutique, with it's cool book wall, bold pops of color and bits of sparkle and shine, makes me totally happy. So does Christian Louboutin's miniature Trash handbag! I'll take either...or both!

hallway inspiration
I've been working on my master hallway/dressing area for the past few weeks, trying to make it more funky, fashionable and cozy too. In my search for inspiration, I keep returning to this delightful space belonging to actress Amy Sedaris. I love that there is so much going on in a narrow space, with the flocked Osbourne and Little wallpaper and framed pictures and wooden bats. It's certainly an example of "more is more," which I'm all about!

surreal beauty {alexis bittar}
Another jewelry-themed post before the end of the night... Alexis Bittar is one of my favorite jewelry designers, and his boutiques are fabulous too since they always feature some tremendous piece of taxidermy (such as the lion I am photographed with to the right.) These totally surreal images from his 2012 Resort look book do not disappoint either. They are so good in fact, I would love if they came large enough to frame. For more of this crazy eye candy, go here...

band of gold
I'm always lusting for more jewelry, and rings are usually at the top of my list...
Whether slim and delicate, or brutalist and bold, or with quirky critters and skulls... a beautiful gold ring (or two or three) for my hand makes me a happy lady. I suspect it's because I can look down at it all day long!
