Glamour Is A Bar Table

It’s obvious that I just need to move into one of Aerin Lauder’s homes since I fall madly  in love with all of them. (I can only imagine she would be one fantastic, not to mention stylish, housemate.) This room in particular makes me weak in the knees. A fireplace, a wall of leather bound books, and a table with a little sunken bar. Can you imagine a more perfect room for cozy cocktail parties, or long romantic evenings? Everything about it just screams old Holywood glamour. I honestly can’t stop thinking about how to make this happen in my own home.

My Favorite Place

All it takes to make me crazy happy is a trip to the bookstore. If I find a coffee in hand while I browse endlessly  I’ll be approaching positive giddiness. But I warn you, I always have to be dragged out. Always. I mean really, unless you have a pressing appointment with Jane Austen herself when are you ever done at the bookstore? It’s just not possible.

No Piggy Bank Required

Someday I will show you the collection of fantasy velvet slipper designs I’ve created and saved for the day when my piggy bank is full to bursting. Have you ever played around with the bespoke section at Stubbs & Wootton? Hours of fun and procrastination await you! But for now I think I might just leave the piggy bank alone and pick up a pair of these lovely slippers from Topshop. I’m pretty sure I would wear them every day. Don’t they look cute, and more importantly, so comfortable?
