Remarkable Style

While not particularly my style, these three ladies really show how amazing it is when you create truly unique ensembles. Brava to all!

French Open

Arthur Elgort shot this spread for the American Vogue October issue; Grace Coddington styled, and though I'm not much of a fan of Karlie Kloss, some of these images (i.e. three and seven) are among the best they've published all year

Artistic Animals

I'm smitten with these prints - the porcupine in particular is so adorable I can't stop returning to it (full disclosure: I may or may not have made it my computer background).

Sharon Montrose, an LA based animal photographer, shot this series of live animals borrowed from private facilities, rescue organizations, and animal sanctuaries in and around California. The Animal Print Shop offers gorgeous limited edition prints, but there are also much cheaper versions at her Etsy shop.

Shocking Blue

You know how everyone always talks about how gorgeous and shocking Schiaparelli pink is? (She herself described it as “life-giving, like all the light and the birds and the fish in the world put together, a color of China and Peru but not of the West.”)

Well I think this might be the blue version, and I'd love nothing more than to paint my entire apartment top to bottom in it

Budoir

David Bellemére shot this gorgeous, soft, romantic, slightly wacky spread for the October 2009 issue

Another Peacock-Inspired Piece

For only $62, this plate by the decoupage master himself could be yours. In a dream world I'd have a set of twelve for parties, to use with stark white chargers and a navy tablecloth underneath

Cool Classics

A while back Marie Claire did a spread featured the pieces Sophia Coppola designed for Louis Vuitton. They were really rich looking all American classics, and MC did a lovely spread honoring those qualities. Here are a few photos I especially love

The Big Apple

Sometimes I'm struck by how much I really love it here. It took a little adjusting but I think I'm here to stay. . . for a while at least.

Kiddie Clothes

Aren't these the most adorable outifts? With all my research into all-things-kid lately I've stumbled upon some really darling things.

All the Right Stuff

The ever-chic Mary Kate Steinmiller, editor in the accessories department at Teen Vogue.

What a wonderful palette to choose as your autumn wardrobe staple this year. . .

Great (Dane) Style

This has always been one of my favorite whimsical photographs. Never much for Great Danes, I still love how amazing and powerful he looks protecting that gaggles of girls

(Super) Bright Pout

Eeek! IwantitIwantitIwantit! True story: I showed up at work a few weeks ago wearing nearly the same shade - during the day, mind you - since I hadn't test driven the new lip color before smearing it on in the morning. I'm hoping the next time I break it out it'll be super precise and just as bright as (yet another) girl crush Alexis Bledel.

PS - Those earrings are divine, don't you think?

Gutsy Getup

This model, whose blog has been featured on Vogue.com and many others, sure knows how to strike a pose. She's totally beautiful, totally glamorous. About this little ensemble she says

ITS SO OVERLY DIVINE AND SO OVERLY INAPPROPRIATE. I THINK IT'S JUST OVERLY FRENCH AND I'M DIGGIN' ON IT. NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED OR THE MIDWEST BUT DEFINITELY FOR A DAY IN PARIS.
