Sweater Obsessions

I’m headed to New York in two weeks and am starting to think about proper winter clothes (it’s been in the seventies here recently, good ol’ California…). I’m loving these striped sweaters and chic cardigans. The Tory one at top right is called the “Katie” — must be fate ;)

Staple Gun Portrait

I simply can’t get over this staple gun portrait created by Timothy Paul Myers for fashion mogul Tory Burch.  He created the stunning piece using a vintage photograph of Tory’s mother, Reva Robinson, in Cuba in 1957.  If only I could commission one of my own mother!

Can’t Get Enough of… Tortoise Shell

Picture 96

 

I was recently looking at this picture of  Michelle Adam’s (founder of Rubie Green) living room and couldn’t stop admiring her tortoise shell lamp.  Isn’t it tres chic?  Here at my desk I have a glass tortoiseshell pencil cup and it is one of those small purchases that always makes me happy.  For your viewing pleasure I’ve rounded up some more chic tortoise accessories on the market today:
