Tobias Chair

I've been dreaming about redecorating (or... really, just decorating, as I never really did when I moved in TWO years ago... shameful)

I was this brilliant post by Toronto blogger Jacquelyn of Lark and Linen, and I found myself captivated by the lucite chair she posted. I clicked on the link and found that it was an Ikea chair. Well, that's right in my budget (which is limited). It's modern, and I've been loving lucite for awhile. What do you think?

Time to drink champagne and dance on the table

It is my birthday weekend. I hope/plan to indulge in all my favourite things this weekend. This may or may not include brunching, sushi, dancing, eating, throwing parties, attending parties, family dinner, and of course drinking bubbly. See you on the other side! (Where I will rightfully be complaining that I require a detox of some sort.)

More inspiration for a clean and curated closet.

Wouldn't you love a closet full of these pretty little lacy silky things in a rainbow of colours?

I know I would.

Sea of Shoes

Organization and shoes. Two of my favourite things. Is this not beautiful? It makes me want to go organize my closet, and it being October 1st, this seems like a seasonally appropriate thing to do. We'll see if I actually have the time/the heart.

Goodbye pretty sun dresses. Hello soft cashmere.

Wednesday Inspiration

Who doesn't follow The Sartorialist? This morning as I'm back at work and trying to catch up on both my actual work as well as my favourite blogs when I was stopped in my tracks by these two images. In many ways both are very simple. Neutral colours. But so well done. I also have the greatest respect for a man who knows when not to wear socks.

Charles Gwathmey, Architect

Dunway Apartment, NYC, 1969

Astor Place Condominiums, NYC, 2005

de Menil Residence, East Hampton, NY, 1983

Architect Charles Gwathmey has passed away yesterday, and although I cannot claim to have always followed him (because that would be a lie, and it's not a good idea to lie, especially in print), I was impressed by his style immediately. So called modern architecture can so often leave me uninspired. I find it sometimes lacking in beauty and heart. Not this man however. I love the use of glass and light. Above are a few of my favourites. While it is grey and rainy outside this is my beauty for the day.

All of the pictures are from the Gwathmey Siegel website. Lots of great stuff here.
