sleep in style

It's safe to say that I'm practically salivating over the new line of bedding by Jonathan Adler. He's done it again! Available in a rainbow of colors and a multitude of patterns, the new "happy chic" bedding is certainly dreamy. Not to mention, a wonderful compromise in the age-old debate of masculine v. feminine in the bedroom. And, if you want to be a little daring, I think DwellStudio and J. A. could mix and match perfectly for a look that is all your own. . .

The embroidered sheet sets are equally as stunning.

Which look is your favorite?

clutch on steroids?

It seems as if all of my favorite people are coming out with pouches this season and I'm welcoming these clutches-on-steroids with open arms. Join me in giving thanks for the increased capacity and the ability to take all of your necessities out on the town.

here comes the bride...

...no, not me. I just purchased my oh-so-pretty bridesmaid dress for one of my best friend's weddings! She's tying the knot on Memorial Day weekend next spring and I could not be more excited for her. It was a tough decision, one that required a 45 minute pro-con-pro session on the phone with my mom, but I chose the Nanine over the Selma and the Bow Monde. Can't wait for it to arrive! And in the meantime, I'm already dressing it up for future occasions after Lilly's big day. (I'm determined to wear this more than once!)

This video gave me a good chuckle. Especially being the not-so-proud girlfriend of a fanny pack wearing guy. . .He claims that it's incredibly practical while traveling - I swear he only wears it to bother me.

I am loving this tongue-in-cheek blog that pokes fun at the intricacies of design catalogs. Hop over to catalogliving.net and enjoy! I mean, really, you have to wonder what some of these set designers are thinking. . .

fragments

Go ahead and add this read to my never-ending Amazon wish-list. Fragments: Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters, released earlier this month, is a collection of Marilyn Monroe's innermost thoughts. The blonde bombshell was deceivingly intellectual and complex - I can't wait to see for myself. It looks like more Monroe-centric movies are in the making as well. . .

tray chic

After spotting Katie Lydon's fabulous selection of trays in The New York Times, I thought I'd share a few of my own picks for these perfect accessories. Whether you use your tray to corral remotes on your ottoman, serve cocktails, or hold some pretty coasters, a tray can brighten a room and pull it all together.
