Dark hair, white tee, red lips. Sounds/looks perfect, and especially at this time of year

La Danse

Can't wait to see Frederick Wiseman's new (nearly three hour) documentary about the Paris Opera Ballet. It sounds amazing, and I can't wait to treat myself to a show of it this weekend

Unexpected Audrey

Confession: my favorite look in Breakfast at Tiffany's might actually be the black-tee-sunglasses-at-night-with-a-french-twist ensemble

Pretty Pom-Poms

Leighton Meester wearing Prabal Gurung at the a New York Public Library event held earlier this week. Gurung (who's clothes read unique, ladylike, amazing) is a new-ish favorite among Vogue editors, and with a five year stint as design director at Bill Blass will be a huge name in the next few years.

The Perfect Storm

This might be the single most representative photograph of my design style I've ever seen.

Thank you, Heather Clawson, for sharing with us Gil Schafer's West Village (!) apartment

Strong Brows, Strong Gowns

Alexei Hay for the November Elle Italia. Black and white and glittering and dramatic - my kind of spread

Chic Crafts

Look at how great this ribbon wreath is! Love the black, though I'm sure it would look just as nice in an jewel tone. I wish I had one to hang on my apartment door

With 24 yards of ribbon and a little elbow grease, it could be yours

Gorgeous Greenery

Were I to have, say, a grand dame of an old home in, say, Old Westbury, New York, I might entertain the idea of a few peacock topiaries (!) gracing my lawn.

Found It

Looks like I've found my costume for next year: super glamorous, Audrey-inspired art thief a la How To Steal A Million.

Done!

Wire Beauties

Look at how beautiful these curiosities are! The first and second are just room decor, but the third is actually a lamp (I would love to see exactly what it looks like all lit up - take note Anthro!). Pretty pricey, but definitely wow-worthy, and how chic would they all be in a feminine little studio apartment?

Happy Halloween!

Though never one of my favorite holidays, I do love festivities of all kinds, making Halloween just as exciting as any other holiday. I might stock up on these super cool faux labels for my party next year

PS - I love Martha Stewart - like, consider using her site as my webpage love. She has so many amazing, perfect for everyone ideas here, at her Halloween Central page, FYI

Cute As A Button

Most people find lack of space restrictive, but I kind of like the forced editing it brings. How amazing is this tiny little 400 square foot place in Chelsea? Not only does the owner have a (large) dog, but it's also pretty chic. Inspiration, people!
