thank you so much Pret.
Stylish Girl: Minimalist Gwyneth Paltrow
This outfit is the look I'm gravitating towards this summer. Easy but stylish pieces that come together quickly, but still project a level of sophistication. I've accumulated some thrifted pieces in the last couple of months to satisfy my minimalist Celine tastes but without the big budge...
Yes!
House Progress: Oh, Hey Lath
Did I mention that house progress is going slowly? Before we left to go out of town this weekend we attempted to remove the wallpaper—many layers—in the dining room. When we tried to remove one section part of the plaster wall came with it. We told our contractor to patch the hole and we wou...
I usually have to put a rubberband in first, loop ribbon through that, and then tie. Otherwise you are right, darn thing falls out.
Beauty Mark: The Casual Ribbon
A relaxed ribbon is a simple but very pretty way of quickly gathering hair out of your face. Images: Garance Dore, Vanessa Jackman
You might want to contact Saks. I've only loved them from afar, never seen them in real life.
Manolo Blahnik Satin & Grosgrain Mary Janes
I haven't wanted a pointy toe shoe in ages, but these Manolo Blahnik heels make my heart race. Saks, $830
Thanks Bri:)
In Her Closet: Vintage Carolina Herrera Skirt
Trying on vintage Carolina Herrera red silk skirt & 1970's ribbed wool sweater at the thrift store (I bought both).
I love it too but I found out yesterday that it has a tendency to fly up in the wind:O
In Her Closet: Vintage Sweaters & 90's Skirts

Thanks, it's one of those new favorites that you wear six days in a row;)

Thank you:) My closet contains more low than high, but I seem to like those pieces best anyway;)

Street Style Trends: J.W. Anderson Sweaters
J.W. Anderson's Pre-Fall 2012 sweaters showed up numerous times during fashion week. They have an early 90's vibe thanks to their oversized print and shape. I just thrifted a vintage sweater with a similar feel that I'm hoping to break out this weekend. Images: Vogue.com, Style.com, Zi...
I should have been more clear, that last pic IS Michaeal Bercu. It's from an old issue of Vogue magazine.
Model Aleksandra Marczyk
I've spent the last few days catching up on September issues and tabbing things that stand out. One being the "Great Expectations" editorial in Teen Vogue. Not only does it feature those fantastical Marc Jacobs hats, but I'm also loving the look of Aleksandra Marczyk. She reminds me of a...
Thanks so much! I've added Salvage One and Post 27 to my list as well.
Home Store Recs in Chicago?
I'll be hanging out in Chicago for a few days and hoping to explore some new areas. I usually have just enough time to shop downtown but I'm going to try to venture out to Andersonville, Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, and Logan Square. Do you guys have any favorite home stores in those neighborh...
I have them on my list! Probably more looking than buying there though;)

Thanks K! I'm actually looking for art, so the Los Mano Gallery sounds perfect.

The house gets a lot of natural light, but we are installing a hugh lighted chandelier in the foyer to keep it from being too dark. We painted the ceiling in that room as well, and I love it, but definitely makes a difference in how light bounces around the room.
Latest Thrift Finds: Mixed Bag
This Abysinnian cat statue that reminds me a little of Kelly Wearstler's style. Antique wood block stamp This crazy 1960's hawk print that might be going into the foyer. TALONS. Late 80's Pierre Balmain blouse. Might as well go full force and wear it with some faded jeans.
Thanks so much Jessica!
Natalie Portman's Sunglasses
Can anyone ID these sunglasses? I thought they were Tom Ford Anouk but they look different on the bottom. Image: Zimbio
Thank you. The color is Farrow & Ball Black Blue and I want to paint every room in my house with it;)

Mona, I have an account there, but haven't posted anything yet. Still trying to figure out if it works for me:)
Flea Market Style: Silver & Gold
Glittering disco dress. I'm curious about its origins, as the only tag reads Fabrique en France, 100% viscose. Vintage french dresses are always welcome in my closet. Vintage Oscar de la Renta scarf in gold, pewter, and bronze pleated silk. I plan on wearing this as a sash around simple dres...
I haven't tried either of those, but palladian blue is on the same strip as Wythe. I bet it would be beautiful and soft on the porch ceiling. We had a tough time trying to find something that wasn't too washed out next to the grey but also didn't compete with it. If I was just doing just the porch I probably would have gone with palladian.
I *think* robins nest might be a little bright once it is outside.
House Progress: Front Door & Porch Ceiling
The next time we have to paint this house I will run screaming the other way. I thought this would be fun but exterior paint is a whole other beast. It took 5 different paint samples just to get the color right for the front door and porch ceiling. We tested Benjamin Moore Heavenly Blue, Hazy...
YES! But I was momentarily lured by pre-fall styles;) Can I say how jealous I am that you are in Madrid?

I'm ew-ing with you! Why do hot tubs always tend to be unsexy?

"Why’d you say that the gentleman should no longer be driving? "
Because I think he has trouble seeing. EIther that or just a complete idiot. Maybe both!
Favorite Runway Looks: Marc Jacobs Fall 2012
I'm a little disconnected from fashion week right now, as I'm still trying to get our house contained. We have busted pipes causing all kinds of fun in the laundry room and bathroom above it. Then my car was hit Monday by a gentleman that should no longer be driving. I'm scheduled to get...
I appreciate the feedback but I will take it as a compliment that I don't dress like Ashlee Simpson.
Review: Topshop Cream Crochet Shift Dress
I ordered the Topshop Cream Crochet Shift Dress in a UK size 6 and 8 ( I'm wearing the size 8 in my pictures). The UK8 fit super loose on top and the back zipper, which is heavy, made the fabric sag in the back. The UK6 was still loose at the top but tight around the tush, and was way too ...
haha, that's the way to do it;) thanks for the rec!
Beauty Mark: Eva Mende's High Ponytail
Try to look past Gosling and focus on Eva's retro cute ponytail. I always have problems with my ponytails sliding down, so I'm going to attempt it tonight with some extra clips below the band. If you guys know of any other tricks let me know! Images: Splash
oops, that quilt is from Anthropologie Isleta collection http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-new/24451437.jsp
Anthropologie Symbology
1. Sacaton Dinner Plate, $20 2. Symbology Coasters, $10 3. Symbology Trivet, $24 4. Pennant Inlaid Knob, $14 The cups I found at the estate sale remind me of Anthropologie's latest home collection. Geometric patterns are having a resurgence right now, and reaching saturation levels, but I real...
