Happy Friday! I am pleased to report that Chicago’s snow is gone! (Well, it’s not completely gone. There are dribs and drabs left over from shoveling’s piles and perhaps a wee bit in the shady spots, but let’s call it gone, okay?) In celebration of the warmer temps, I cut a bunch of pussy willow branches to force, and they’re lending a bit of color to the house, too. Yay for spring!

Best of all (except for the bleary eyed Sunday morning) is that Daylight Savings Time arrives this weekend! Here’s to meals outdoors, flowers, and a glass of rosé. (Credit to E on that one.) Have a wonderful weekend + I’ll see you Monday.
Full skirts at Louis Vuitton, and a pretty blue dress and grey cardigan, styled just for me. See the fall show at Style.com. (What do you think of the dress at the bottom? I’m really drawn to it, even though it probably is hard to wear.)

Spotted this charming notebook in the latest LMNOP magazine, and immediately fell in love, as it’s the perfect spring notebook. The cover illustration makes me want to carry it everywhere.

Such a great dress: it’s bringing extra cheer to a (finally) sunny + 60 degree day. From Yves Saint Laurent: see the full show at Style.com

Completely in awe of this notepad. Each sheet is a 15 cm ruler with a scale of 1:100, 1:200, and 1:500. Simply spectacular. From AGUA, available in a limited edition of 10,000, and spotted at Upon a Fold’s eshop. I want one.

Must order a copy of French Style and Decoration. I am blown away by the abundance of beauty and inspiration. Thanks to Jane Cameron for the introduction, and she’s right: I need English Style and Decoration, too. Clicking over to Amazon right now ….

Very impressed with the Stella McCartney show, full of fun + wearable clothes. My only hope is that the skirts end up a tad longer at retail, as unlike the models, my thighs are not smaller than my knees. See the entire collection at Style.com.
this could be my favorite: so smart
