Outfit Inspiration: Pencil Skirt

Wow, it's the last post of the year already.  This year has flown by.

As I try to assemble a wardrobe for my internship this spring, I find myself drawn to pencil skirts.  I'm not sure yet if it will work in the office, but I'm saving for a J.Crew No. 2 pencil skirt anyways...

Have a lovely New Year's Eve and thanks for reading, as always!

Odette New York

I featured Odette New York's collection "the fells" previously.  A second look presented these lovely pieces; they are a great way to add some edge.

Travel List: Lisbon

Portugal is oft overlooked when considering travel in Europe.  Lisbon has a laid-back charm and a Mediterranean atmosphere.  You can go sightseeing on the tram, relax at a cafe, take the Elevador de Santa Justa, and see both historic and modern architecture.
  
I can't imagine a better mix of a modern city, rustic countryside, and great food.

Erica Weiner

Love these unique lariat necklaces from designer Erica Weiner on Of a Kind.

Interior Inspiration: Tulip Tables

I think tulip tables are the bee's knees.

     "In a 1956 cover story in Time magazine, Eero Saarinen said he was designing a collection to                      clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home." (DWR)

Saarinen's tables do just that; they have a streamlining effect and avoid visual clutter in the space.  They are so classic and can come in many variations.  Whether you get the real deal or a decent Ikea knock-off this table design is timeless.

Travel List: Belize

Can you believe it's already Christmas this Sunday?  I love spending a white Christmas with family in Utah, but just one year I want to spend Christmas somewhere warm.  I'm thinking Belize...

Belize has all the perks of Costa Rica at half the cost and with half the tourist: zip lining, coral reefs, Mayan ruins, and beautiful beaches.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Izola

These lovely soap dishes from Izola are so fun.  They would be great to hold jewelry or your keys when you get home.

Interior Inspiration: Libraries

I love the warmth that books bring to a house.  There is a definite fascination with books and the stories they hold; a person's collection of books can say so much about what makes them tick.

Modern libraries can be just about anywhere in a house: dining room, living room, bedrooms, or even hallways.  A collection of books can add depth to any space and instantly feel like home.

Outfit Inspiration: Sweater over Button-up

Lately I've been loving the look of a sweater over an untucked button-up shirt.  It seems casual and yet dressed-up.  Very enigmatic, indeed.

Coclico

I'm loving the retro vibe to these lovely shoes from Coclico.
