celeb worthy spaces

Some of the blogs I read highlight beautiful celebrity apartments. While my family in Connecticut are not celebs, they have just renovated major parts of their home and the finished product is like something out of a magazine!

 

They found inspiration from the home of Brooke Shields, and brought their own interpretation to it. It also comes in handy when the dad is an architect! I wanted to shine a spotlight on a few spaces that were truly elegant.

 

The have a walking path down the street that goes through a beautiful reservoir. I wish I could’ve taken a few more pictures, but I was on a run with my uncle! I got the picture below because we came upon a deer during the run! I attempted to take a picture of it and failed miserably. If you can find the orangey/brown dot in the middle of the photo, that’s the deer. :)

 

Finally, I spotted this gem while shopping in their Centre. I have no clue what make or model, but I thought it was insanely adorable. Naturally, I had to instagram it ;)

Last, but not least, I arrived from Connecticut at Grand Central Station and felt like I was straight out of gossip girl.

The Latest Issue

After being at lucky for these past three weeks, it was really fun to be able to look at the latest issue!! I loved flipping open to the page where it recognizes all of the employees, etc. and knowing a lot of the names! Seeing the names of the stylist behind the shoots and the a few of the writers was pretty cool, too!

I posted this outfit above 2 weeks ago. I got it out of the “grab bag” (if you will) because some of the items cannot be returned for one reason or another. The day that I wore it I was shocked to receive so many compliments from my coworkers with the occasional “I think we shot that?!” And here it is!

I recognized the shoes below because my boss wears these red clogs when her feet need a break from the pumps!

During my many searches thru the “shot” rack, I have passed these two shirt and sweater combos below. So cute right?? The white lasercut leather is genius and makes me want to explore a preppier side.

Finally there was some inspiration from Cacharel in the beauty column below. Cacharel is one of the brands that Aeffe represents! (Aeffe was the showroom I visited last week! Check out: Preview) Loving this red bobby detail to add to a very 60s primped outfit.

 

One thing that I try to incorporate into my style is a certain juxtaposition. Whether it is a little hippie clashed with rock, feminine top with a sharp blazer, mixing in order to create something unexpected allows you to dig within your own creativity. At lucky, I notice this design juxtaposition along with the contrast of high/low designers and high/low pricing.  They can match Dolce and Gabbana with Topshop, Marc Jacobs with Banana Republic. They indulge in some fashion obsessions while also keeping a more price conscious customer in mind. While searching thru the racks I love so many of the designs, and sometimes, it’s not until you look at the tag that you realize it’s from H&M! I know I'm a bit biased but Lucky is kinda the bomb.com
