HIGH FIVE // BLACK, WHITE, & MARBLE

June 17, 2013

high five - five things meg biram is loving this week

Are you ready for this week? You know how sometimes when you get back from vacation you are ready to get back to work. I came back from my brother’s wedding and a week at the beach (beach pics coming soon) feeling rested, bronzed, and ready for work! So without further adieu, here are this week’s High Five:

ONE // This unique ceramic cup is perfect for beverages hot and cold. I’d even use it as a pencil cup in my office or in the bathroom for makeup brushes.

TWO // I obviously have a thing for marble and Kelly Wearstler — so of course this marble scarf of hers is right up my alley.

THREE // Loving this white Kenneth Cole vest. It’s simple, mod, and the back is perfect for hot summer days!

FOUR // Don’t be concerned about all the straps on these B Brian Atwood Black Sandals — they are elastic! Every lady needs comfy black sandals for summer.

FIVE // Have a mod moment with these Ebony Quad Drop Earrings.

Is there a product you are obsessing over right now?

TREND // LUCITE + WHITE

May 30, 2013

lucite and whiteSummer always has me thinking white, airy, light. I usually stay away from buying white because I just feel like I’ll ruin it too fast. A white leather bag and any sort of dark denim is just a recipe for disaster and hysteric phone calls to a leather cleaner. But I always love a white statement — so I’m starting to lean more toward adding white in my life (I’ll just have to brush up on stain removal techniques as I’m sure they will arise). I’m also a fan of lucite, and if you are needing to add things to your space but don’t want it to take too much away from what you already have, lucite is perfect.

ONE // This Spore Mirror is just sick. I’m seriously having a love fit over it.

TWO // I think the Mr. and I should drink our morning Joe out of these Jonathan Adler Mr. & Mrs. Muse Mugs.

THREE // This Rebecca Minkoff Woven Bonnie Satchel is drool-worthy. So chic. So summer. It also comes in rose gold and a navy/white if you like those better.

FOUR // J Brand white denim shorts = necessary for summer. And they’d fit right into my denim post from earlier this week.

FIVE // Hello organic marble vase by (my idol) Kelly Wearstler.

SIX // These uber-mod KORS Michael Kors Ava sandals are perfect for summer (and they’re on sale!).

SEVEN // I don’t know why, but I totally have a thing for the male & female symbols. Might have to nab these bookends (boy/girl).

EIGHT // Does it get more chic than a large leather shopper?

NINE // So fun with the colored lens — bring on the Hepcat Shades.

What’s your take on white and lucite?

SUMMER FASHION // Dress Up Cut Off Denim Shorts

May 28, 2013

summer fashion cutoff denim shorts

Cut off denim shorts — is there a more common article of clothing worn in the summer? Maybe a white tank, but denim shorts are a vital part to a summer wardrobe. You’d never go on a beach vacation or weekend away without them. But how do you wear them without looking sloppy? Easy. With a silk top, well-put-together accessories, and a mani/pedi — everyone will be asking about your casual yet chic outfit.

Elements to Dress Up your Cut Off Denim Shorts:

Cut Off Denim Shorts // Why stop at just cut-offs, and go with distressed cut-offs! These Rag & Bone JEAN Mila distressed denim shorts will fit the bill for your go-to cut-offs for the summer.

Panama Hat // Having a hat for the summer sun is a must! I tried this hat on and am in love. I’m constantly wearing a hat to the pool, beach or out on a walk, and after five years my old fedora was so misshapen it had to hit the road. This Panama hat will be its replacement.

Statement Studs // Dress up any outfit with a pair of statement studs everyone will be asking about. I love these stud earrings by Erickson Beamon.

Black Top // Having a go-to black tank like this silk cargo tank is vital to a summer wardrobe. I always end up wearing my black and white tops more than anything in the summer.

Sunglasses // These Warby Parker Boyd Sunglasses can be prescription or just regular (really awesome) sunglasses.

Cross Body Bag // I’m in love with this little 3.1 Phillip Lim Scout Cross Body Bag. Perfect for throwing in your essentials and heading out the door.

Fresh Summer Nail Polish // In the summer I love a bright color on my toes like this Orange by FACE Stockholm for J.Crew, and a light color on my nails like Punch by RGB.

Tan Sandals // If you don’t have a pair of tan sandals that go with just about anything, you should definitely find some this summer. You’ll wear them so much you’ll wonder how you ever went without. These Greneda sandals by Joie are chic, simple, and comfortable.

I’ll just add this post to my “wishlist” for the summer.

Do you have cutoffs? Do you wear them constantly in the summer? What’s your favorite way to wear them?

TREND // Black and White

May 16, 2013

trend — black and whiteI’ve always been a huge fan of black and white. It seems to be trending these days more so than usual — which is just fine with me! More to choose from! When I look back a the things I keep around for years, I find that I never regret buying anything black and white.

ONE // TOGA PULLA Bi-colour four-buckle cut-out shoes, Matches Fashion
These are sick.

TWO // Burlesque thyme, lavender and cedarwood scented candle, Fornasetti
I’m dying to own something, anything Fornasetti!

THREE // Janson Striped Stool, Clayton Gray Home
I mean, this makes a room.

FOUR // The Color Block Pillow, Stone Textile
Simple and chic pillow. 

FIVE // Uppers canister, Jonathan Adler
It’s up to you what you decide to put in here…

SIX // Striped Umbrella, ZARA
Every girl needs two umbrellas — one giant serious umbrella, and one small fits-in-your-purse umbrella.

SEVEN // La Mer Collection Square Case Wrap Watch, Shopbop
This watch is just cool.

EIGHT // Whipstitch Sandals, Topshop
An affordable way to get in on the black and white trend this summer!

NINE // Labyrinth Onyx Avion Cosmetic Case, Hudson + Bleecker
Obsessed.

TEN // Love it card, Kimberly Fitzsimons + The Garmenteur
How fun is this collaboration!? The card says everything, you just need to sign it realllly big.

ELEVEN // Watercolor Wrap, Piperlime
I end up reaching for my black and white scarf almost every time I need a scarf!

TWELVE // Black and White sandal, ZARA
These have a low heel, but it doesn’t really look like it. Fool everyone and be able to walk all day in chic heels!

THIRTEEN // Mila printed stretch-denim shorts, Rag & Bone Jean
I mean please, motorcycles on cutoffs, yes.

Do you have a favorite item among these? What’s your take on black and white?

INTERIOR INSPIRED // Modern Neutral Living Room

May 9, 2013

neutral living room

I tend to lean toward neutral when it comes to interiors. I like to add an accent of color in the accessories, art, pillows and sometimes rugs, but for the main pieces that will stay with you for years I always go with something neutral. I love the simplicity of the black, gray, white and brown palette in Nina Holst’s living room. If you get tired with this look you can easily change the art and pillows up for a few hundred dollars and have a completely different look the next season.

1. Black and Brass Antwerp Floor Lamp / 2. Black and White Spotted Pillow / 3. San Francisco Terrain topography map artwork / 4. Club Grey Sofa / 5. Eva Dove Pillow / 6. Cream Three Part Pillow /7. Axle Accent Table / 8. Tan Moroccan Leather Pouf / 9. Ivan Rug / 10.
