wishlist wednesday | june 12

happy wednesday, people.

 

1. The chambray obsession continues with this perfect-for-summer Sleeveless Chambray from Madewell.
2. Sofia Coppola + Emma Watson - can't lose. Seriously cannot wait to see The Bling Ring.
3. This palm-print clutch in this awesome color palette is so ideal with a sundress or skirt. Plus it's on saaaaleeeeee!
4. I love the practical yet stylish look of this weekend bag from JADETribe. Now to think of a trip to take it on....
5. This Lala Beach Blanket from lemlem has got me daydreaming about lazy days in the sun.

Cheers,

TGIF, people. The work week is (almost) over and it's time to chill out. Work has actually been pretty good this week since things have slowed down a bit (for now) and I feel like I'm finally catching up on everything. However this weekend I am looking forward to enjoying a little bit of this perfect part of summer where it's not blazing hot just yet. I hope everyone else has a some R&R planned as well in the style of Bey and J up there.

Cheers,

madewell fall 2013 lookbook

I have to admit that my love for Madewell has slowly grown into a full-blown obsession. Now, I know it's the beginning of a glorious summer season, but thanks to Lucky releasing Madewell's Fall 2013 Lookbook, I can't stop thinking about fall. Every piece is perfection and has already made it onto my wishlist. Check out a couple of the gems for the upcoming season.

Cheers,

pillow talk | Ikea's LAPPLJUNG RUTA cushion cover

I've been seeing this cute little pillow around styled interior images quite a bit lately, and I have to say that Ikea's LAPPLJUNG RUTA cushion cover is quite the accessory. As you can see from the photos below, it fits well in several different types of rooms. Unfortunately for me, the nearest Ikea is 4 hours away so I'll have to live without this little gem for now. But if you're luckier than I am I suggest that you run to your nearest Ikea and snatch this babay up (it's only $10!).

It's Friday. thank goodness. Soooo I realize I haven't posted, like, at all in the last month basically. BUT I have been traveling quite a bit for work. I was in Atlanta, then Vegas this week, and with another trip on the books for next week, I've been kinda busy. So.. there's my excuse. I'm hoping to relax a bit this weekend and catch up on everything I've been missing, including my daily blog reads (I'm looking at you I Suwannee, A Piece of Toast, Note to Self, One Fine Day etc etc etc). Also, a couple of things I'm obsessed with right now that you should be too: 1) The Great Gatsby - I saw it last weekend, and say what you will about the storyline, acting, whatever - I couldn't get past the gorgeous art direction with the dreamy sets, costumes, everything. loved it. 2) The Office series finale *tear* - so weird for something I've known and loved for 9 years to be over.

Anyway, that's my rambling "sorry-I've-been-MIA" post. I sincerely hope to be back to posting regularly because I miss this. You guys are awesome.

Cheers,

Ellie

wishlist wednesday | may 1

so... where did April go?  obviously it wasn't on this blog (see: lack of posts). Well, it's May and I'm here so Happy Wednesday!

1. If you're as excited as I am about The Great Gatsby coming out on May 10, you're probably just as excited about the bad-A soundtrack, curated by Jay-Z, that's coming with it.
2. Rifle Paper Co. gets it right again with this cheeky Do or Die notepad from Design Darling.
3. I saw a girl wearing these Splendid Chambray shorts in J.Crew the other day, and I haven't stopped thinking about them since. Is it weird that I've been thinking about shorts for the last 2 days?
4. I think I need these Rio De Janiero Earrings from Biscuit Home in the spirit of Cinco de Mayo this Sunday.
5. I've never really been a hat person, but this Contrast Woven Straw Fedora might need to make an appearance in my summer wardrobe. Plus, it's like way cheap so no regrets.

Cheers,

ROOM PICK // black-walled study

I'm kind of obsessed with this black-walled study in fashion designer Jenni Kayne's home, as featured in Architectural Digest. The color of the walls is striking, yet not overpowering, and I love the laid back feel of the decor. One of my favorite things in design is when a room can look high-end but relaxed. Check out my picks for how to create this look.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

Cheers,

Ellie
