Since first glance I have loved this enchanting butterfly wall art featured in Lonny’s Sept 2011 issue (I know, I’m taking you back a couple of years).

It’s exquisite. But to be honest, dead bugs on a wall kind of freaks me out even if they did complete their natural lifespan. But you might be inspired to create a similar look with Eisley’s hand cut faux butterflies.

She sells them in lots ranging from 20 to 500 butterflies. I think it would be quite beautiful to arrange a monochromatic collection of butterflies set in acrylic like the piece above. I don’t know, just throwing that out there. They’re not as glowy as the real deal up top – but I bet a bunch in the same color scheme could be pretty amazing.

Shopbop has added some new items to their sale section. Some good stuff, like that camel Phillip Lim 31 hour bag.

I’m also a big, big fan (of all four colors) of this Wildfox basic pullover, this swingy floral dress, and this long sleeve equipment dress that all just got marked down. And really, there are a lot of things in their sale section that you’ve seen here on the blog. Go peruse!

Also, I just got back from a short mother daughter trip with Lilly to Tybee Island so yesterday’s post went up late last night. Be sure to check it out if you missed it. And I’ll share some pictures from our trip soon.

I’ve got big dreams for this dress. It’s such a classic. And guess what – it’s not so expensive and comes in black, too.

And don’t get me started on the valentino pumps and that slouchy, oversized clutch. So fun and both would go with so much.

J.Crew Crewcuts’ back to school collection is killer. I mean. It’s killer. Can I borrow that??

Back to school fashion has never been cooler. If Lilly wore a size kids 14 I’d buy it all up and share a closet with her. She’s more like a 4. Guess I could just buy for myself. It’s like, investing in her future wardrobe, right?

PS… Did you catch up on my posts from the weekend?

One of my goals for this new site is to periodically share inspiring and/or fun links that I’ve stumbled across. This seems like a great Sunday activity, don’t you think? Some weekend reading comin’ atcha.

  • Bri from Design Love Fest just celebrated her 100th style post. I enjoyed reading her thoughts on how it feels quite narcissistic to post pictures of herself. I feel the same way when I post my What I’m Wearing pictures here on LLL. But ultimately I feel like it’s a great way for y’all to get to know me, my city, and my style a little bit better. I hope y’all feel that, too. Plus I’m a firm believer that good things happen when you push beyond your comfort zone.
  • This quick and handy “A Place for Everything” reference to look at when setting the table is gorgeous, don’t you think? (image above)
  • I loved this Refinery 29 article about Making the Most of Your Crazy-Gorgeous Freckles. I wish I had freckles like you beauties.
  • Ever been curious what rent is like in different NYC neighborhoods? Here ya go.
  • Jimmy Fallon, Robin Thicke, and The Roots’ version of Blurred Lines with school instruments is awesome. Did I ever tell y’all I had a major Jimmy crush back in the day? But Robin totally steals the camera in this video.
  • H&M now has e-commerce. Yep.
  • Teil Duncan released a small (but gorgeous) collection of beach prints. And they’re just $50.
  • I’mma big fan of J.Crew’s just released fall/holiday 2013 lookbook. Pre-orders have already started.
  • Are you keepin’ up with my Keep boards? I’m ah-dic-ted.

This A.P.C. Sac Demi Luxe Bag stands all by itself – it’s my new must have bag. The size and shape are unlike any bag I have. I want the brique color. But which would you choose? Brique or black?
