t. time chic! around the web:
- visit my professional blogThe visual design has been created for this blog alone, with verifiable proof of the date of creation (So please, do not copy the same look. I am very open though, and if by any chance you can proove that you launched a website or blog before mine that has a similar look that I am not aware of, please send me an email and i will be only too happy to make the necessary changes so that my layouts stay as unique as I wanted them to be when i created them). With that being said, you are free to reproduce my content as long as you add a link to this blog. Sorry for the lecture, and happy reading!
I don't have a house in the mountains. But if I did, I wish it were Aerin Lauder's Aspen home. I'd add subtle little touches of color of course, but other than that I'd keep it as perfect as it is.

It is freezing here in Europe! And while I really enjoy the moment (meaning being curled up in the sofa with a good read and a hot tea or chocolate), I also welcome anything that can make me visualize what next spring will deliver... which is why I am overjoyed with Kate Spade's just-introduced spring collection in particular with this trench (see above). I love how the black trim gives it a graphic twist, and the Japanese black-and-white floral pattern of the lining - in collaboration with the Florence Broadhurst brand - adds a chic touch to the overall feminine look. A beautiful interpretation of a classic piece.

These two dresses are not from the new 2012 collections. In fact, they were in Chris Benz's Resort 2011 collection. But the thing is, I still find them perfectly fabulous and regularly think about them. I love how the top one has a classic elegance but with a twist, and the addition of the yellow "stain of color" - as if the dress owner walked in yellow paint - adds some zest to the overall look. The second one, though, has more of a 60s-70s cocktail chic that I also love. Oh sweet gorgeousness...

My brother has just introduced me to artist So Yoon Lym who paints braided patterns made by students and inspired by the Aboriginal stories and visions of creation. Patterns represent "valleys, mountains, forests, oceans, rivers, streams". I am really humbled by this beautiful and inspiring work, and I wish that I could visit one of the artist's exhibitions.

This dotted silk chiffon dress (polka dots AND chiffon, two of my favorites) by J. Crew makes me dream of summer garden parties and sexy cocktails.

There are few pastimes that I prefer to flipping through decoration magazines or watching interior design portfolios online. Massucco Warner Miller is one of those interior design websites that I have recently added to my favorite bookmarks because I can't stop dreaming about this gorgeous (and obviously very cozy) bedroom (pictured above) and the other dreamy rooms in their portfolio. They just make you want to pack and move in...

Andy and Kate Spade's New York home photographed by The Selby. This is the kind of chic eclectic mix that I love.

I am crazy about AphroChic's Silhouette pillows and its new line of wallpapers, like the black & white Reflection shown above.

Jo Lynn Alcorn's paper collages are pure genius. They are extremely beautiful, delicate and chic!
