Look Linger Love

A big thanks to the Glitter Guide team for featuring me on their beautiful site yesterday. Caitlin Moran was yet again a doll to work with and put together a very generous and complimentary article. An adieu of sorts to my old home, it was bittersweet to have a final photo shoot in the house before we moved out.

My friend Charlotte Elizabeth (who just had her baby Sunday, congrats Char!!) took these photos. She’s such a rockstar. Thanks for making me look better than I really do, Charlotte!

And why do I always feel the need to take one of these pictures?? Ridiculous. Anyway, I do miss this  wallpaper.

Oh, and unlike my last Glitter Guide feature (see that one from 2011 here), there was no “project skinny arm” photoshopping done to these pictures. I just couldn’t do it after opening up about it in this post here (which I highly recommend you all go read through those comments). But I’ll admit… I was reaaaaally tempted to ask Charlotte to skim away a little on my arm in this particular shot…

Oh well, keeping it real, right? :)

Last week Stacy Smallwood of Hampden Clothing hosted designers Lizzie Fortunato (LLL favorite for sure) and Timo Weiland (a new LLL favorite for sure) for a little trunk show party of sorts. Only it wasn’t very little. It had my favorite food truck (Roti Rolls), a dj (DJ Jazz), great decor thanks to Hampden’s visual director Haley Spees, and plenty of champagne to keep me happy.

Oh, and LF’s and Timo’s latest collections. Which are insane. And I had the good fortune to meet up with Elizabeth, Kathryn, Timo, and Stacy for a couple of drinks before the event started.

Beautiful collections and space. I love a Hampden party. They just do it so well. I loved meeting you Timo, Kathryn, and Lizzie. I’m looking forward to adding more pieces to my fall wardrobe. It’s all so good (especially those clutches!). You can shop LF’s collection here and Timo’s collection here.

Did you all have a great weekend? I sure did. But I left my phone out in the rain Saturday afternoon and it’s still not working. Damn. I miss it. A whole lot.

Anyway, I’ve been painting the last few weeks and finally have some complete. Last night I added 9 new pieces to my art shop.

I know. You totally expect finished and styled and beautiful images of our new home. Alas I don’t have that for you. But I can show you a (pre-filled) corner of our master closet. I wanted an industrial and eclectic looking space as opposed to the traditional closet at our old home (see that feature here).

So how cute is this lil shop? By the name of Fine Little Day, I think they could make my days a little finer…

with their teacups…

 and their cutting boards…

their pillows…

 wallpapers…

My August J.Crew Shoe Club pair showed up. Mine are the dusty jade color. So pretty with the gold heel.
