Summer Thornton is one of my favorite designers. She is unbelievably talented and her spaces are always glamorous, unusual and perfectly eclectic.

Her new office was recently featured in CS Interiors and then again, on Apartment Therapy, and even though you may have seen it at both or either of these locations, I just had to share.

My thoughts:
1. That wallpaper? Unreal
2. Burled wood file cabinets? Yes, please
3. The exposed brick in a space not decorated like a man pad? Perfection
4. Floor to ceiling inspiration board? Done and done
5. Amazing light fixture? Always
6. Colorful, abstract art? Heaven

So not only does she create spaces like this… but shes based out of Chicago! Wow is all I can say.

dress for dresses

Isn’t it incredible the purposes that clothing can serve? We wear it. We design it. We study it. We lust after it. We LOVE it.

But it can also be art…








These photographs are not only incredibly beautiful pieces of editorial artwork, the dresses that are in them, are pieces of art on their own.

Can you imagine if these women were just wearing a tank and jeans? Sure, they’d be pretty pictures, but COME ON, the dresses just totally and completely make it.

I really do love dresses more than any other article of clothing. I wear them at every single opportunity I have. Casual, dressed up or formal, love them all. It is a very serious addiction.

Here are some I’ve been watching recently:


Nicole Miller (I know, right?? I was surprised too)

So these dresses might not be editorial worthly, but I really love them. I actually tried on the last one at an incredible shop in Chicago, Sarca but by the time I decided I want to buy it, they sold out. But now, I’ve found it online, and I think I have to own it. Its actually incredible in person. Exposed zipper in the back, totally asymmetrical neckline, crunchy scrunchy black perfection (I am not a fan of the cuts in the sleeves, definitely sewing those up).

Sorry for the rambling post, but dresses are worthy of a serious rambling.
