Coquette – The Look of Lace

imageThere’s nothing quite like lace and I love this Horkelia Shift ($178 at Anthropologie) that looks fresh in bright orange while giving a nod to vintage style.


Lace can look great for a dressed up afternoon or even casually at the beach! It’s feminine and romantic on it’s own and can really add an interesting vibe when mixed with other materials.

Make Your Home A Soothing Spring Get-Away!

imageNeed a getaway pretty much every day? Then it’s time to make your home pull double-duty as a spa and a sanctuary!


Inspired by the classic combination of blue and white, modern color palettes and patterns are picking up where Delph blue China left off. Fresher shades and patterns like Trina Turk’s Trellis print recall beaches and far-flung tropical travels. You can buy it by the yard and use it indoors, outdoors, a lot, or a little.


For the mellower kind, a trendy chevron print in small doses isn’t too ‘tribal’ or busy, especially if you go with a softer shade of blue.


After all, blue is a universally soothing color, especially when paired with pale colors like grey, whites, and beige. Pottery Barn’s beach glass bath accessories will add a lot of luxurious home-spa style to any plain white countertop while still maintaining the calm you need.


Blue and white is a versatile pick-me-up anywhere, so for spaces – or parties – where you want more energy, definitely don’t ignore the graphic appeal of West Elm’s plates.

Daily Obsesh – Gold Snail Ring

imageAdd a bit of whimsy to your wardrobe this Spring! Even if flare jeans and big blousy tees are your go-to look for the warmer weather days, you can dress these basics up with great statement pieces, especially bold jewelry.


The Snail Ring from Topshop is the perfect piece to add a touch of interest to your casual looks. ‘A snail??’, you ask. Sure, the slimy little creatures aren’t normally considered to be a fashion statement, but it gets a gilded make-over in a soft gold tone with semi precious stone accents.

imageThe 46th Annual Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France is under way and A-List stars and Indie darlings alike turned out to promote their movies.


Co-stars Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz walked the red carpet for the fourth installment of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ with Depp looking dapper in a white tux jacket and slick black slacks and Cruz floating in a frothy lavender hued gown.


Meanwhile, Brad Pitt and co-star Jessica Chastain promoted ‘The Tree of Live’ with Pitt in a crisp white summer suit and slicked hair and his lovely leading lady, Chastain, in a simple retro-inspired red dress and nude pumps.


Also spotted were new-comers Elisabeth Olsen (yup, younger sister to the Olsen twins!) in a vintage looking white lace and embroidered gown, smiling next to her movie mate, Sean Dirkin, who kept it casually appropriate in a loose white button-down and black slacks.


They may not be real life sweeties, but we love the on-screen chemistry between these Cannes film couples. Which co-stars do you think make the cutest couple? Let us know by taking the poll below!
