Glamorous + Girlie

The weather here in Chicago is miserable - rain, wind, and now possibly a little snow added to the mix. While most of my friends are off work for the holiday, I'm in the office and in serious need of a pick-me-up.  Leave it to the great Ruthie Sommers to get the job done.  Ruthie's glamorous and girlie foyer, filled with bright whites and sprinkled with pink and gold, is sweet enough to brighten anyone's day.

The icing on this beautiful foyer's cake?  The Jane Churchill Rossini fabric, available through Cowtan & Tout.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Aerin Lauder's Devine Bedroom

The first time I was this picture of Aerin Lauder’s East Hampton master bedroom I just about died.  It's been one of my favorite rooms since being published in the December 2007 issue of House & Garden (and later, Elle Decor).  The Gramercy fabric on the walls and the bed is just "devine".  Michael Devine, that is.  If I could replicate this exact room in my home, I would.  It perfectly encompasses my layered, granny-chic aesthetic.  And those linens.  Although I love pattern, when it comes to bedding I tend to gravitate towards crisp, whiteness and no one, in my opinion, can dress a crisp, white bed quite like Leontine Linens.  Oh how I dream of being a Leontine Lady.  Mom, Paul, Birthday Fairy?  If your reading this, two euro shams with an oversized Maxwell monogram would make my 26th year of life a memorable one!  Add in a fur throw and I'd be one smitten kitten!
