I think he's kind of cute...

Well, I guess I'll have to get an Uglydoll for my new apartment.  Somehow they've reared their ugly little head (literally) in really cool interiors.  OR, you could just sit on my couch wearing this number.  In exchange for a place to live, of course.

Some of my "wants" for the Summer...

First let me start by asking, are jumpsuits still a bit controversial in ATL?  I don't own a long one yet, but I have a few rompers or "play suits".  I absolutely love the versatility of them....but I know a lot of people are hesitant to take the plunge.

This Wink jumpsuit is my absolute favorite.  I love the wide legs, deep v-neck, and the fact that its racer back.  It's also a great brushed satin material.  Downside is that it's way out of my price range... 

So I might have to settle for this Free People one....

at least until a sale!  One thing I do like about this one is the braided drawstring.  For some reason I've always loved braided detail, whether it be on a strap, belt, or really anywhere.

Next on my list are beach cover ups.  I've always loved a good tunic dress for the beach, but this year I'm leaning towards shorts + long top combos.  

So you'll have to use your imagination a little with this picture, but I'm thinking a denim shirt would be a really cute cover up.  My favorite option is this fitted chambray button down by Lauren Jeans Co., that I think I would order one size up to make it a little longer/roomier.  

The second option I've found is from J. Crew.  This one is a bit darker denim, and the website says its made to fit over sized.  Now that I see them together and read about the fits, I really can't decide which I like more...

We would look good in this....

In relation, sort of....

I visited the Guggenheim Museum this weekend, and it really renewed my love of architecture. The museum is designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the structure is a masterpiece in itself. On display within the museum, there is an exhibit featuring Wright and his life's work, as well as other exhibits of Impressionist and Expressionist artworks.  Recently, I realized that I had missed the boat, and that architecture is something I think I would have really enjoyed.  Alas...  I really want to buy this book.  I flipped through it quickly while at the museum, and it looks really interesting.  FLW has done so many amazing things...

And we're back

Three books I just bought from Amazon:

I've been meaning to get this book for a while, and I cannot wait to read it.  I also really want to get one of those dress forms shown on the cover.  It's exactly what I need to hang jewelry.  I'm hoping in the book they will reveal where to find a good vintage one, because they are too expensive and look too new online.

I actually haven't seen At Home with White in person, but I think I'm going to like it a lot.  Even though I already feel very at home with white.  

I love Darryl Carter and his new book.  He may be my favorite designer of all time.  At least for today.

YAY

Once again, I find myself relying on Teen Vogue for fashion inspiration.  And I have no plans to stop.  Look at these awesome outfits from BOY by Band of Outsiders.  Kirsten Dunst is so cute.

 

Chandeliers

I LOVE crystal chandeliers in any room- bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, office.  It is so chic and spans so many styles.  But the problem is that I cannot afford any (of course)... UNTIL I found gallery803.com.  So many to choose from, and so many affordable ones, too (under $200!).  They really do look like the higher end options.  I'm going to put one in my bedroom.  (Will have to get rid of those flame bulbs though)
