Remember Oprah's Favorite Things?

And how excited everyone in the audience would get?

Probably because they knew they were winning new cars and all kinds of crap,

but still.

Anyway--We're going to start doing that on Fridays on this here blog.

Ready Freddy?

Here are my Friday Faves!

Lucy Hatha Leggings in Black

When I say that I haven't taken these off since I opened them on Christmas

morning, I'm sort-of, but not really kidding.

They're amazing, thick, wash well.

Can't say enough. LOVE THEM.

Are ya'll looking on Dering Hall yet?

It's a new site that showcases well known designer's portfolios and products.

Anyway, I was perusing Tobi Fairley's page and I came across this canary yellow lantern.

I just think it's to die.

Celia Foote in The Help

It's my new favorite movie.

I laugh, I cry, I oggle 60's clothing and interiors.

And I love everything about Celia.

Personality, Clothes, Her unabashed brazen demeanor, and mostly how she describes her interior decorating style....

" If I had it my way---It'd be wall to wall white carpet with gold trim."

You're a doll Celia. The woman I long to be!

Nikibiki Extra long tanks.

I have one in almost every color and they're amazing. I wear one under absolutely everything.

It smooths you out, hides uneccessary boobage, and adds a punch of color under your top.

Blue tufted sofas.

Yes, specifically tufted and specifically blue.

They're oh so glam.

Statement window treatments.

I'm in no way advocating treatments that swallow your room.

But I love a pop of color and some good tailored detailing.

And the coral----Oh, THE coral.

Happy Friday to all!

I'm headed to Houston for the weekend for my friend Jen's bridal shower.

What are your plans?

Domino (may it rest in peace) used to have a feature where they would use an outfit as inspiration for a room.

I think this applies so easily to real life, as many of my friends wear perfectly stylish outfits, but can't put a room together to save their lives.

Since I find myself still obsessed with this one J Crew outfit (Spring 11'), I thought I would use it as today's muse.

J Crew

First and foremost, I would add some much needed accessories to our muse outfit.

Starting with these navy Kate Spade Mary Janes

How darling.

LOVE a navy & yellow combo.

So fresh.

And add this pretty Kate Spade cream handbag

A fresh take on a classic Chanel, for a small fraction of the price

A pretty bauble bracelet

Kate Spade

And a hot pink necklace....

and you have a gorgeous little outfit.

Now on to the room.

I would start with yellow/white wallpaper to play off the striped shirt

I love both of these options from Schumacher

Schumacher

The "wow" piece in the outfit is the ruffled yellow shorts, so we need something that's the decorating equivalent.

Which, in my opinion, is a gorgeous tufted yellow couch.

I love these navy/white balloon chairs. What an unexpected combo, since you usually see them in wood/burlap.

They play off the Mary Jane's perfectly!

I love these hot pink side tables to flank the couch!

They give that needed pop of contrasting color.

Furniture from roomservicestore.com

I would add these pagoda lamps from Pieces in Atlanta to tie back into the yellow theme.

And these fabulous yellow foo dogs....

Inspired by the cream purse, this coffee table is a different take on a classic coffee table shape.

Room Service

The chandelier is inspired by the playfulness of the bracelet.

This one from Horchow is perfect!

What do you think of this room?
