Fashion Friday: In the Trenches

March 29th, 2013

I don’t think there is a more iconic fashion staple then the trench. I have been looking for the most wonderful, perfect, last-a-lifetime one (Burberry, of course, HERE- saving the pennies) for a long time. I want to wait and buy ONE and keep it until it’s in tatters.  I love how it goes from casual to dressy and everything in between. It’s crazy sexy too, which is hard for a jacket that is tailored and covers everything up to be.  We all need one.
The ladies that made this coat look immaculate and forever chic:

This affordable trench is gorgeous, and I love pairing it with other French staples like stripes, booties and flared dark denim.  Spring perfection.

Adler Love at All Levels.

March 28th, 2013

First of all, can we please have a moment of silence for the new lucite and brass Jonathan Adler line? Specifically the bookcases, for which I’d do unspeakable (possibly illegal) acts?

Amen.

Most of us can’t swing $2,000 for a bookcase (points to self), but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some truly luscious Adler wares.  As I just found out (am I the last person to this party?) JCPenney has the Adler Happy Chic line and it has some SICK stuff, y’all!!

Lacquer bookcase (comes in various colors too) and side table.  These look line some other very expensive items I use a lot.

A modern grey sofa with fabulous lines.

A totally gorgeous take on the tuxedo sofa- comes in navy too!

These dining chairs are purely awesome- I can see a set around a white tulip style table in a heartbeat.  Also loving this little tray side table.

I have to admit I kinda freaked over the trim on these ready made drapes in white and tan.  You can never find store bought drapes like this… ever! Pondering the white for a shower curtain actually!

More lacquer- this console is GORGE. You could always replace the pulls with brass (if you were me, and had a serious brass addiction problem)

Oh there is a double dresser too. Yeah, I know. It’s awesome.

Cute round pouf (looooove the pattern) and square pouf. Who doesn’t need a couple poufs?

I am digging the crisp, mid-century modern look of this white and wood tv console and tallboy dresser. Great for a kids room too!

I have a little elephant side table like this one and love it, and this vase is classic Adler.

Island Life

March 27th, 2013

There may be no location with crazier real estate prices than Nantucket- but holy hell, if I won the lottery you better believe I’d buy a house there. Like this one. Which is near perfect.  It needs some serious decor help, but for an in town charmer (that has SEVEN bedrooms for lots of summer parties) it’s so killer. If you have $6 mill to spare.

I would have done two sided stairs like I’ve seen on other houses this style, but I wouldn;t exactly kick it out of bed for eating crackers either as is.

Look at those floors! The wide planks! DIIIIEEE.

Most fab playroom ever? Maybe.

And a one bedroom one bath GUEST HOUSE in case you are super popular (which you would be if you lived here) and needed another place for people to sleep.  I don;t think I could even afford just this.

I’m gonna have to sell a lot of books.
