Dabble In It

Another online magazine was unveiled earlier this month! Canadian newcomer Dabble sets itself apart from other online lifestyle magazines (such as Rue and Lonny) by featuring content on design, travel, AND food! What's not to love?! Some of the inaugural issue's highlights include: a peek into 40 WiNKS- an exclusive London hotel with only two rooms available; travel guides to Nashville and Prague; and instructions for DIY sushi. Definitely worth checking out!

The House That Jimmy Choo Built

An oldie but a goodie- last August, Harper's Bazaar featured this look into the New York apartment of Tamara Mellon, owner of Jimmy Choo shoes, and I still can't get enough!

There are so many things RIGHT with this picture.

Tamara and her daughter, Minty, in the entry.

Mellon's upstairs living room. I love the mixture of textures and patterns.

Mellon worked with interior designer Martyn Lawrence-Bullard to create the formal sitting room.

And, of course, her beyond-enviable closet where she houses her more than 1,000 pairs of shoes.

Terai Folding Chairs

I'm crazy about these Terai folding chairs from Anthropologie. The bohemian feel of the wood combined with the gorgeous ethnic fabric make these look like pieces you've picked up during a Moroccan vacay.

I would choose one to use as a desk chair (my favorite is the Red Ikat), or put one of each pattern around a rustic dining room table like this one. Check out the rest of them here.

I Love Lonny

It's here! The March/April 2011 issue of Lonny Magazine launched last night, and it's certainly been keeping me entertained (or distracted) today. For those who aren't familiar, Lonny is a bi-monthly online magazine that focuses on lifestyle and home decor. This issue is especially packed with endless eye candy and inspiration, so be sure to check it out!

In this issue...


Much needed career and life advice from interior design icon (and one of my idols) Kelly Wearstler, and peaks into her DREAMY office in LA.

"Accessorize with Flair" with the owners of elite interiors shop FLAIR. Useful tips on how to create your own custom vignette by mixing unexpected accessories such as old books, chic boxes, small sculptures, and scented candles.

In "Eclectic Ingenuity," Colleen Locke transforms her 1960s Cape Cod home/barn into a treasure trove of vintage finds. I love how the juxtaposition of the barn's rustic framework and the chic vintage decor results in a surprisingly modern-looking space.

Color Combo I'm Loving

Black & Orange

I have a serious crush on this Chloe' bag. The black and orange color combo (along with the touch of burlap) is so unexpected and fresh for Spring/Summer. I usually shy away from color combinations that are synonymous in my mind with holidays, companies, rituals, etc. (black & orange= Halloween, red & green= Christmas, red & yellow= McDonald's), but this bag and the rooms below are definitely making me second guess myself. Stark black accents are the perfect complement to this deep orange hue. Instead of spooky and autumnal, they look rich, elegant, and surprisingly neutral!
