What I'm Loving Right Now

I love a nice sillouette...they just look fresh and clean.  I'm currently searching for one of Lucy (a cavalier king charles spaniel)...let me know if you find one!

10 Things Every Woman Must Own

According to InStyle, these are the 10 Things that Every Woman Must Own:

1. Black Blazer...I feel that navy would also be acceptable (I love navy...hence the bridesmaids dresses)
2. Leopard print scarf...I have one and haven't worn it in a long time...maybe I should bring it back out
3. Red flats: that one's not going to work for me...I hate red, I'll do pink or yellow instead
4. Striped shirt: nautical is so chic right now...I just got a cute one from J.Crew
5. Statement Necklace: couldn't agree with this more, although I could substitute a great chunky gold bracelet...sometimes that reallly does the trick
6. Little black dress. enough said.
7. Black opaque tights: do leggings work?
8. Oversize watch: highly agree...I love my Michele watch, and the changeable bands allow it to go with anything
9. Classic trench
10. Flared jeans

The only things I would add are:
1. Oversize sunglasses
2. Nude nail polish
3. Super thin gold hoop earrings

Thoughts...Suggestions? I'll add them to the list!

exciting additions!

Here's a picture of the dresser that Matt made for me!  I got the knobs from Anthropologie and the lamp and glass hurricane from TJ Maxx!  The top middle drawer has a really cool section for jewelry...I'll post a pic of that soon!

Second new addition...the slipcovered chair! We ordered this chair, the ottoman and a new couch from (believe it or not...) JC Penny?! Who knew!  We got a great deal and turns out that the quality/comfort/style is fabulous...we are actually ordering another slipcovered chair for in front of the fireplace off of the kitchen!

I'll post pictures of the couch once we get it...it's backordered until May 5.

New Job, New Office

Just got a great promotion at work and now get to move into a new (and bigger) office, which means....It's time to redecorate!

I've been scouring the internet for ideas and here are some that I fell in love with...

Loving the milk-glass lamp

love the chair cover...it's nice and simple

If dogs were allowed in the office, rest assured, the Lu would have this!

pretty pictures

Bold color done well.


An inspiration board in the dining room...how cool!
