Inspiring Decorating from @ladymelbourne

Want to revamp your décor without breaking the bank? With a few tips
from Lady Melbourne you can do just that! Instead of paying top dollar
for cushion covers, simply purchase a gorgeous fabric and sew them
yourself. Keep your eyes pealed at discount stores and small boutiques
for unique pieces that you wouldn’t otherwise find at expensive chain
stores.

Stylin’ in the City @LateAfternoon

San Francisco is known for its beaming energy and individuality.
Living in such a city requires you to be on top of your fashion game.
Liz Cherk of Late Afternoon sure knows how to dress the part. Over the

skirt and magenta button down from Stylesofia. She paired it with an
unexpected but totally fitting Asos tribal print sweater. The perfect
outfit to make your presence known amongst a sea of people.

Mario Testino, Thyssen museum

Jet setting to Madrid to see the ultra talented photographer, Mario
Testino, would be a dream! He truly captures the femininity,
innocence, and vulnerability of his subjects. The relationship between
photographer and model really comes through in his pictures.

Stunning in Stockholm from @RumiNeely

This photo diary follows Rumi (of fashiontoast) along another one of
her fabulous fashionista adventures, this time, to Stockholm. I love
how these images managed to capture a wide spectrum of all of the
little tantalizing treats from her trip: quirky laughs, refreshing
drinks, the hustle and bustle of the city, intimate landscapes and
silhouettes, enticing table tops, high fashion clips, quintessential
European accents… the list goes on. These pictures are so full of
personality and sass, all wile highlighting the little perfectly posh
details that make her life so fabulous and fashionable.

Absolutely luscious image from marie claire maison italia via @_lefashion_

How fabulously over-the-top is this picture? It is absolutely flooded
in opulence. It is as if my grandma’s jewelry box exploded all over
her bathroom, if her jewelry box were more like a trunk, and if my
grandma were ancient Chinese royalty. The colors are so rich and full
of lavish texture. Absolutely luscious.

@Fashionsnag in Haute Hippie Jenner Shorts & Givenchy Wedges

@LadyLUX's exclusive interview with Mickey Drexler of J. Crew

J.Crew just keeps getting better and better. The company, in business now for almost three decades, opened another men’s store at the beginning of this month, this time uptown on Madison Avenue and 79th Street. With very offbeat, American-look, antique shaving utensils adorning the shelves, along with vintage books, new and unique magazines, and a very woody atmosphere, the store is primed for the Upper-East-Side prepsters and traditionalists, who will be all too happy to welcome their new neighbor.

Have you Installed the Twitter app on your iPad? Our thoughts so far: cc @bhaggs @lorenb

Our first thought is if some of these features on the new iPad app will come to the web.

Right now it is very difficult to track conversations through the web interface. Having everything show up in a thread would be great.

So far the app interface and actions feel very slick and it is a new take on how to show tweets.

Other likes:
-ability to view DM's like email with icons next to the sender
-the new panes that can be expanded into view or gestured to move right out of view
-video within the app

We would love a web version that worked with the new Apple magic trackpad that gave us the new functionality and features of the app and brought them to the desktop. How cool would that be?

Sephora launching "Lift Up" a denim brand to be sold in their retail stores

From WWD: "Sephora, the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned
perfumery chain, is adding denim to its retail mix here by rolling out
alongside its beauty products a limited edition collection of women’s
Lerock jeans."
Great move to build on their success of their Sephora stores with
adding their own private denim line to be sold within the stores.
