A Note on Style

Saturday, January 5, 2019

Noted this Week ~ 1.5.19

Noted this Week ~ 1.5.19

I find so many things I’d like to include on A Note on Style, but they don’t necessarily warrant a full post. They’re more like snippets I’d like to share from pages I’ve bookmarked and Instagram collections I’ve curated. And there are a lot of them! So, I’m introducing a weekly series called Noted – brief tidbits of what interested me over the week – all with links to sites for further reading. Today’s post is the first in this format that I’ll continue every Saturday with relaxed weekend reading in mind. I hope you enjoy and would love to hear your thoughts on the series.

1. An apartment in Paris by decorator Mathias Kiss mixes finds from David Hicks, flea markets and antique shops creating a space that is collected and unique. The dark, moody vibe reflects an inclination to nest and stay home often felt in January.

2. Mindful eating replaces holiday indulgences this month. This recipe for Zucchini Noodles with Roasted Halibut looks superb.

3. Saoirse Ronan is stunning in the February ’19 issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK.  She’s interviewed about her role in the movie Mary Queen of Scots, British monarchs, and Irish borders for the magazine with the “Spirit of Great Britain” as the theme for the month. Have you seen the film?

4. The V&A prepares for the opening of an expansive Dior exhibition next month. I’d love to see it and explore the history and impact of the House of Dior over the last 70+ years. It looks magnificent!

5. The aged pink facade on Jason Basmajian’s retreat outside Paris is so inviting and exudes country charm. Take a look at the interiors outfitted with Belgian influenced colors, Moroccan carpets and modern accents. Be ready for a little wanderlust.

    I love it all! Very inspiring. Thank you for curating this – too exhausting to look through everything on the web to discover the gems. You are the best.

The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled b The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled by Roberto Johnson in this story from The Cut take me straight back to the 1980s. I'm sure we carried the exact pair at Lina Lee during my years employed at the Beverly Hills store. If I dig deep, I might still have them!​​​​​​​​

I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy sum I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy summer looks like this. This #ASCENO would be so simple to dress up or down with jewelry, flats or heels. And these #LOROPIANA brown sandals are fabulous classics. Both pieces would be the starting point for several outfits. 
.
My must have summer accessories will always include stylish sunglasses. The @saltoptics x @amareesnewport frames are my current go-tos checking all the right boxes. Add my new petite Bottega bag and I’ll be good to go.
.
Meanwhile, I discovered the instagram account of @cauvarjao highlighting gorgeous properties in Brasil and Portugal like the home pictured here. So beautiful! Take a look!

I like the mood of the palette used in this room f I like the mood of the palette used in this room from Freifrau.  The soft colors combined with a mix of old world detailing and contemporary furnishings is a theory I'd replicate in my home and closet.

I don't think I'll ever tire of an all white bathr I don't think I'll ever tire of an all white bathroom. Details make all the difference. Let's start with the gorgeous lighting from Urban Electric. Mirrors hung in front of the windows is so pretty and unique too.

Since I’ve edited the contents of what I carry i Since I’ve edited the contents of what I carry in my bag, I’ve been able to downsize. And, with fewer items to transfer from one bag to another, I’m less reluctant to frequently change styles. This has inspired me to curate a collection of small handbags in a variety of colors and shapes. 
.
I’m covering the spectrum – from metallics to brights and pastels. My newest addition is beige. I selected this beautiful chamois hued Bottega Veneta and love how it looks with so many things in my closet. 
.
The obvious pairing is white, black, brown and other neutrals but contrasted with a color, it takes on a very modern note. I also think it plays beautifully with other textures, especially raffia.
