Shoe String Chic, by Paris based Australian Kerrie Hess, is all about finding style for less. Her Parisian themed illustrations are a delight, and her fashion and style tips excellent....Kerrie's astute and witty commentary reflects her keen observations on French women...
Shoe String Chic has recently been released in the US and Australia and you can find it on Amazon...it's adorable, it's cute...I think we all want one...

Fabulous Room Friday 07.28.11
Today’s Fabulous Room isn’t quite complete, but that is what I love about it. I find this image incredibly intriguing. Every last detail in this space is absolutely gorgeous, from the stunning herringbone floors and the beautiful mouldings to the floor-to ceiling window and the fabulous carrera marble island. If it were not for the sink in the island, I would have thought this room served as a study, a dining room or even a living room. I am incredibly intrigued not only by the sheer beauty of this room, but I can’t help but wonder how it functions as a kitchen. Where do the cabinetry and appliances fit into the equation? I just wish I could find images of the rest of the room. I found this image via House and Home which linked back to photographer, Magnus Marding’s site. It turns out, the home is an historic British estate belonging to none other than Ilse Crawford.
It appears that the expansive room is divided into the kitchen and the dining room featured above. Unfortunately, I still don’t have a definitive answer as far as the cabinets and appliances are concerned, but my guess is they may be lined up against the wall on the left. Either way, the space is positively gorgeous!

paper, pages and print...
I like the feel of worn paper in my hands and on my fingertips; slowly turning over the pages while holding the corner between my thumb and forefinger gives me a feeling of comfort. I have a fondness for the musty scent of old editions. I appreciate all the shades and textures that paper can be....from the whitest of whites to the butteriest of creams and from the finest of weaves to the heaviest of parchments... I have a soft spot for the bindings...the embossed, the golden, the black and whites or the multi coloured...I love the familiarity of fonts... at the end of a read they are like best friends......But most of all I appreciate that an old book has changed hands over and over. The thought that others have negotiated her pages, maybe made a note here and there or marked a meaningful passage...that is what sparks my interest....the silent connections between readers of all generations.
Paper, pages, print, bindings... books...glorious books....I couldn't live without them....xv

Bananas! A Tour of Rachel Zoe's Son's Nursery
Last night, ABC's Primetime aired a special called "Mommywood" giving viewers a peek into the lives of Hollywood moms including Denise Richards and Rachel Zoe. Zoe gave viewers a tour of her son, Skyler's lovely nursery and his fabulous closet and shoe collection. He's just a tot, but he already has an enviable shoe collection, custom-made Missoni and bespoke Gucci. I die! I don't know about you, but I am very excited about the upcoming season of The Rachel Zoe Project and seeing how Rachel deals with adding a sweet baby to her chaotic schedule. From the look of this video, she seems to be handling it all fabulously well! Until then, you can keep up with Rachel's happenings through The Zoe Report, her stylish newsletter.
