Love ’em or Hate ’em..

You’ve gotta love their closets.  Story of my life, I have a pile of unread magazines with the average issue backdating three months.  Well, Johnny-come-lately here just read the September issue of In Style and went bonkers over Khloe Kardashian’s closet.  Khloe‘s always been my favorite.

Second favorite, Kourtney.

And bringing up the rear (just like in real life)….  Kim… Drab, lifeless and B-O-R-I-N-G.

Just sayin’.

Back To Reality.

We had oodles of fun in Savannah.
 I am always a sucker for spanish moss.
Found a new store– AMAZING….

Went out on a date with this girl.
And was surrounded by lots of cousinly love.

The perfect holiday.

One Hell of an Ikea Hacker.

Upon perusing one of my favorite sites-Ikea Hackers,  I came across two of the best Ikea Hacks I have ever seen.  They both just happen to be from Erin at A Charming Nest.  Let’s take a look at the first hack.
What was once two RAST tables are now gorgeous bedside tables:
And if that wasn’t amazing enough, look at what she did with two HEMNES consoles!
Can you say A-MAZ-ING???
Thanks for the inspiration, Erin… Can’t wait to see what you do next!

I Want To Go There.

Last month C. Wonder opened up their Flagship store in Soho. These pictures make me want to hop right on the Acela STAT.
Drool-worthy housewares…

Preppy-chic clothing….

It’s a dream come true.
 Amazing, right?  It’s kinda Jonathan Adler meets Kate Spade meets H & M.  At a whopping 7,200 square feet (in NYC no less) this retail mecca hits a lower price point than you would expect.  The designs are preppy yet fun, punchy yet sophisticated.
Who is behind this brand? It’s none other than Tory’s ex Chris Burch.  (That’s him there with Kelly Rippa, of course.) 
 The grand opening pulled in some fabulously stylish ladies
like Brooke Shields

Elisabeth Rohm

Kelly Rutherford

Maria Menounos
and Josie Bissett (Melrose Place, anyone?)
