Back when my mom worked part time, I used to watch All My Children with my mom during lunch. One of the characters–Palmer I think it was–had a cool wood-paneled library. He also had a huge globe that was actually a bar; it opened up at the equator. That was the coolest thing EVAR, next to the hidden passageways in Adam’s house. I don’t really want a globe-bar nowadays (though that would be sweet), but I love the look of black globes. Every so often one of the antique stores near my house has one in the window.

Anthropologie is advertising a lamp made out of cups and saucers. As the only way I could afford something like it is to DIY it, I’m wondering how hard it would be to make something inspired by this for myself–do you need a special drill bit for ceramic? I would think it might shatter…I’ll have to ask around.

A few years ago, Lucky magazine featured a teeny, tiny picture of some BYT at a party wearing all black clothes and white nursing clogs. The image has always stayed in my mind. I wish I was cool enough to pull off the look. If I had $100 to drop on artsy shoes, these old-skool white nursing clogs would be my purchase of choice.
Dansko clogs can be found here.

Even though there is no way in h-e-double-hockey-sticks I could actually wear these looks (let alone afford them), Viktor & Rolf’s Pre-Fall 2010 collection leaves me in awe. If my 12-year-old self could pick my current working-woman wardrobe, she’d pick this. It’s dark with modern sensibilities, yet it picks up a sense of 1940s drama. I bet there’s a whip in that purse.
The Dutch team never disappoints. I’m ready to start adding contrasting piping and mutton sleeves to everything I own…

Lela Rose’s Resort collection has a lot of great detailing with some beautiful basic colors. The white babydollish dress could work for a summer casual wedding, and the red dress’s sleeves are reminscent of a Burda pattern I love.
