{runway inspiration: bally, new york}

. . . skinny belts and elegant high-waisted pencil skirts, toggle coats and long leather opera gloves -- graeme fidler and michael herz for bally's pre-fall 2011 collection is pure lady-like perfection . . .

{p.s.} yellow & grey in the home

{have a cozy weekend + links}

. . . the first week of the new year has come and gone and it was filled with new year's things -- organizing and exercising and rationalizing; and two days and a paper shredder later, things in the office are now perfectly organized into files with beautifully hand-lettered labels and all neatly sorted into a brand new cabinet that is certain to be gilded soon enough . . . and now, as the last of the late-afternoon light fades, there bouquets of roses scattered all about, and it's the weekend . . .

hope you're having a beautiful time, wherever you may be,

// RICK OWENS: LIVE IN LONDON //

For the record, I am a girl who likes to wear men's clothing. Why? Well for one thing, I can actually breathe in men's clothing, as opposed to the way that so many women's clothing pieces fit so tightly. Another thing is that I like wearing over-sized clothes - I can hide what I don't want the world to see, and show off my better bits!

Hence, I've become more and more interested in following men's designers like Henrik Vibskov, SIBLING, and of course, Rick Owens. One of my favorite shops in London, LN-CC, just started carrying the SS11 collection from Rick Owens for both men and women. Rick Owens' women's items are actually solid stuff - and I think maybe even a tad bit looser fitting than the men's items! Below are some of my favorite items at the shop from Mr. Owens:

Meurice by Jonathan Adler

I Love Lamp. Well, chandelier, that is. Jonathan Adler's Meurice fixture is a modernist's dream. So sleek, so chic, so perfect. I want one in every color.

And of course I'd pair the nickel versions with Jonathan's Meurice Butler Table in nickel.

Sigh... a girl can dream, right?

{how to: a pretty peony bouquet}

. . . with floral patterns and magnolia wreaths in thoughts this week, and last evening's trip to the flower markets for six luxurious bouquets of roses, could not resist this lovely tutorial for a pretty peony bouquet wrapped in ribbons for a cloudy winter's day . . .

{you will need:} 5 yards of ribbon, flower clippers, string & peonies (10 stems, 5 in two colors)

{steps:}
1. condition flowers: re-cut stems, and place in a bucket of cold water overnight; keep away from food, fruit & drafts
2. remove most of the leaves, keeping only the ones that are towards the top of the stem, near the flower
3. take a few peonies and place in your hand (ex. left hand if you are right-handed)
4. as you add groups of flowers (about 3 stems each), turn the bouquet to the left
5. you will start to see the stems spiral

6. tie securely with string
7. wrap the ribbons over the string and stems to complete the bouquet

{p.s.} previous how-tos:
* a classic english hand-tied bouquet
* a driftwood table lamp
* a side chignon
* a guide to champagne

Claridge Hotel Suites by DVF

Some people have really consistent taste and when you have fabulous taste like Diane von Furstenberg, who can complain? I'm always fascinated by how fashion and design interact with each other, so it was extra fun when I came across these suites DVF designed for the Claridge Hotel in London. Her formula of tailored silhouettes, bold prints and pops of color work in both genres. Tres chic!

DVF Spring RTW 2011

My favorite thing about this bathroom? There's no towel bars! A sleek polished nickel and glass end table plays the part of towel butler.
