Of Course She Is...

No doubt you've heard the buzz or seen the preview in this month's Architectural Digest.  Aerin Lauder is launching a new home line this Fall that will include tableware, fabric and a variety of accessories.  

Guessing it's all going to be devine... just as her new office (in collaboration with decorator Jacques Grange) is...

God she's GOOD! 

Focus...

This office space is speaking to me today.  Bright, light, yet serious and sophisticated.

It's calling my name and telling me to get to work!

Cords Be Gone...

Hiding unsightly cords from all the electronic devices we are addicted to {yours truly included} poses all kinds of decorating challenges.  Then genius people come along who invent genius things...

"Book Docks" for your iPhone or iPod.

Inspirational Toast...

I first discovered these fancy little gadgets several years back when my friend Jen was purchasing an antique one as a gift.  I had no clue what it was.  Back in the day, they served as toast racks.  Nowadays, they serve as pretty little desk props to hold notes, stationery, mail, etc.

Super charming.  Dainty & sweet.  A piece of old to place amongst the new.... and a must add to my new "functional & inspiring" office space...

The hunt is on...

My Home Office On The Go...

The iPhone. How did I ever function without it?  It holds my calendar, my photos, my contacts... my apps... angry birds... it's all necessary for daily function.  I recently upgraded to iPhone 4 and wasn't so inspired by the case cover options at the Apple store.  In my quest to find an alternative, I spied these on Etsy and thought they were super fun.  A stylish option for making your "home office on the go" your own...

Choose from several different patterns/ink colors and create your own!

Organizing Inspiration...

One of my New Year's resolutions... find a spot for all those magazine tear sheets, inspirational finds and yummy fabric swatches that seem to disappear like a sock in the dryer.  My solution: an online blog!  Here's how a few stylish others get by (very beautifully, I might add)...
