Many of us who love fashion often have a hard time finding storage for (much less getting rid of) our treasures. If you’re short on space and proud of your beautiful things, why not display them? When your beloved items are visible they will be enjoyed by friends that visit and you’ll be reminded to wear them more often.
I love the look of shoes in bookcases or shelves. I’m so proud of my shoes and if I hide them away, I will occasionally forget an old favorite. I also die for the hat display.
Jewelry is another prized possession that can be neglected when one accrues more than a few favorite pieces. Who needs artwork when you have baubles strung about?
Storing clothes and bags in an open space can be a bit tricky. I think it’s important to play up the organized chaos rather than organized or chaotic. Also, play up the femininity with the color palette and furniture. Case in point: chandeliers and pastels.
As much as we shouldn’t, we often judge beauty products by their appearance. Because don’t you feel more beautiful when surrounded by beautiful things? Especially Chanel…
All of this glorious inspiration is from my favorite blog: {this is glamorous}
Have a lovely weekend!

I love these pictures. They have such a honeymoon vibe, don’t you think? In addition to the lovely clothing and adorable couple, this editorial makes me want three things: shorts season, vintage luggage and a macaroon.

I’m loving this spread with the gorgeous hair, textures and furs. It reminds me of the kind of weather we can look forward to. Lots of barren trees but green poking through everywhere.

Here are some more (absolutely stunning) images…
My oh my this is my kind of editorial. Bold colors, big hair, gloves, fur, cinched waists and of course animal print. My mom always used to tell me that animal print went in and out but I don’t think it’s going anywhere! As the Man Repeller says, animal print is a neutral in my opinion. I also want to address socks with sandals. I think I need a full post for that. Enjoy!

Lately I have been really into topknots, buns, chignons (a la @OscarPRGirl below) and have been looking around for relevant instructions. The easiest way I’ve found is to either use a hair piece or place a clip around your pony tail and wrap the hair around that to make it fatter. I still haven’t grasped the whole teasing concept.
I’ve found two helpful instructions for you (and me). From Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere here and below from NWA’s own Anna of TulipLouise and StyleBy.Me.
I’m hoping to add my own eventually!
I can’t get enough of the gorgeous Diane Kruger, I love her easy, effortless style. She never shows too much skin. She has an adorable boyfriend that has definitely upped his style game. And she styles herself…

I saw some outtakes from Natalie Portman’s Miss Dior Cherie campaign and I had to share. I find her to be very intriguing and (of course) gorgeous.
