Lucky Kids

via

Have you heard that Lucky Magazine launched Lucky Kids?  Now that it is in print, I must say I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy.  For years now I have devoured every Lucky issue, I have issues as far back as 2005.  As a mom, I cannot wait to see the style that Lucky Kids brings to motherhood.  Here is a peek at what their website is sharing.  How adorable is this dress, I love it's bohemian feel?  Also, that plaid button down is a must for my boys.  So if you're a momma, auntie or just love fashion, make sure to check out Lucky Kids. 

Please pardon my absence yesterday, we were in San Francisco.  I'll share more on that later.

 my gold beauty

Recently I picked up this gold beauty at my local thrift shop for $15.  After a bit of a polish and new shade it'll look great.  Not bad I think, considering this beauty retails for a whopping $519.  They look pretty close right?

Since my purchase I have been on the hunt for the perfect shade.  Lately I am leaning towards a black shade although I have not been able to locate a black shade except at Target, but it's not the right fit.  Any suggestions?  I might take the original shade, remove the accordion looking cover and then with what's left over, glue on some black fabric with trim.

Or I might go with one of these other shades.  I love the burlap look as well as the scroll shade. Decisions, decisions.

furbish studio

After spotting this ikat print dress from Calypso, I was instantly smitten.  Then I laid my eyes on this beautiful living room designed by Jamie Meares of the amazing Furbish Studio and I have to admit I couldn't get it out of mind. Then I realized that these two, the dress and room were the perfect outfit to room.
