Links I Love...

          We said farewell to 2015 and it quickly became January 12th, 2016....uhm, where is the time going already!? Mon Dieu! Honestly, it's felt like it's taken me far too long to get settled here in Chicago but today I woke up and finally felt....normal. So here we are -hopefully- returning to regular blogging. Figured I'd ease everyone (myself) back into it with a good 'Links I Love' post since I haven't done one in (I'm embarrassed to say how long) forever.

1. I finally found an apartment (yay! It only took 5 months) but I LOVE IT. I've been looking up decorating ideas and pinning everything imaginable. I keep going back to this video showcasing Interior designer Rose Uniacke's stunning neo-Georgian home. A soft luxurious home with every bit of detail one dreams of...I can't stop watching. - In Residence: Rose Uniacke -

2. I'm a big fan of routines...especially when it comes to my mornings and coffee. Granted, I would never consider myself a coffee connoisseur but, I do enjoy my chemex or a good french press every morning. Local Milk created a lovely 'how-to' post on drip and french press coffee. Not only is the photography absolutely stunning but I think my coffee actually might have tasted better this morning. Now all I need is a copper kettle...

3. The only thing keeping me warm lately in this 2 degree Chicago weather is Resort and Spring 2016 collections. Love Erdem's Resort Lookbook and Céline was stunning, per usual. 

4. Again, decorating. But, not just decorating....The Art of Arranging Things. An amazing editorial I read yesterday on The Line that has me rethinking my entire life! Ohhh to be this organized.

5. Minimalissimo - One of my favorite online magazines is finally getting it's first print issue! Love the articles in Art, Design, and Fashion and I'm sure their first print will be just as amazing as their online editorials.

Wishing you the best...

Have a very Merry Christmas! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.

Cheers, friends!

Comme Des Garçons + Junya Watanabe

I was absolutely thrilled to visit the Comme Des Garçons store in Paris during my last visit . I had heard it was an incredibly well decorated interior and the clothes would not disappoint. Of course every Comme piece was super cool with the iconic stripes and heart logo but my favorites were the collaboration pieces with Designer Junya Watanabe. Geometric forms and shapes with coats that encompassed the body as if you were bundling up in a cocoon. It was really a stunning collection of art. I couldn't help but try on every piece!

Some pieces I struggled even to understand what was happening, but that made them so much cooler? I can't even imagine the creative thoughts that must come through Watanabe's head to produce such well made items of clothing. Really exciting experience and if you're in Paris, make sure to stop by - it will not disappoint.

Casual Monday

I've recently been trying to 'up' my casual game. Looking for pieces that have special details to make a simple outfit look more elegant. Turning to classics with a modern twist. I love these Miu Miu suede pumps with a curved heel as well as this beautiful Dion Lee blouse with an chic open back. Paired with simple dark wash jeans and a great overcoat, voila!

Trend Report: Victorian Romance - Spring 2016

High necklines, cinched waists, and every bit of stunning details for these romantic looks inspired by the Victorian era...

So soft and elegant - these pieces just floated down the runways. I love the very minimal makeup and simple hair - rosy cheeks with a soft pink lip. This romantic Victorian trend is definitely my favorite for Spring 2016.
