TOP 10 // BAR CARTS

June 6, 2013

top 10 bar cartsOh bar carts, I attribute your resurgence into interior decorating to Mad Men. I’m still figuring out which bar car I should bring into my own home, so here are my top ten favorites out on the market right now. Well, let’s be honest, I could search 1st Dibs and the internet for 38 more hours looking for bar carts, but I value sleep. So here are my top ten that I have found over the past few weeks.

ONE // Roland Nickel Bar Cart
This one is up there for my very favorite…

TWO // Keith Barcart
Ya, I know, amaze.

THREE // The Draper Accent Table
This gorgeous table (doubles as a bar cart) is available in array of colors, and the price, ooooh the price is too too good.

FOUR // South Seas Bar Cart
I am loving the Pacific South trend going on right now, yet this bar cart is a classic.

FIVE // Lisbon Vintage Bar Cart
I love how this bar cart has just enough touch of vintage glamour without being too glitzy.

SIX // Palm Bar Cart
Have a bright accent wall? This white bar cart will pop right off of it!

SEVEN // Milo Baughman Bar/Serving Cart
Can you say 1970s … in a good way?

EIGHT // The Mrs. Lilien
A collaboration between the Mrs. herself and Society Social.

NINE // Charles Hollis Jones Stylized Bamboo and Lucite Bar Cart
I know, I know, I’m so mean — it already sold. But it’s just too gorgeous not to include.

TEN // Vince Polished Stainless Steel Bar Cart
This one has a bit of a vintage/masculine vibe to me.

Which bar cart is your favorite?
Or do you have another favorite? Leave me a link to it!

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?

8 FAVES FROM LULU & GEORGIA

May 29, 2013

lulu and georgia

I don’t know if you remember before Lulu & Georgia was open — but the teasers of the branding had everyone excited for what was in store. The illustration by Inslee (below) of the gals holding the rug made you want to know what they were up to. The site got so much traffic the first day it crashed! They quickly fixed it and I don’t think anyone minded. Not a bad problem to have if you ask me…

You know I’m always excited about entrepreneurs (especially women!) so of course I love watching other female entrepreneurs have success, like ladies at Lulu & Georgia.

The Ankara Poufs go perfectly with my decor (below). They are sturdy but cushy, so you can use them in many ways — for extra seating, to prop up your feet, or as a side table (add a tray or some books). Currently I’ve got them in my living room, but I think they will continue to float around the condo as needed. Continue reading…
