Galliano's Spring 2010 Haute Couture collection for Dior is downright fabulous. The show's set reminds me of Valentine's day. Check it out here.
But really, it was 13-year-old blogging prodigy Tavi (and her oversized hat) who stole the show. So funny! Read about it at bryanboy.com.

I'm the type of person who is always cold. It must be genetic. So when my boyfriend introduced me to hot water bottles last month, I was in heaven! Now, I won't sleep without one. They're perfect for cold winter nights and lazy winter mornings. If your a cold person like me and do not yet own a hot water bottle, RUN, don't walk, to pick one up at your local drugstore. I promise you'll love it! That being said, nothing can keep your warm better than a furry little dog :)

I've been affixiated with needlepointing ever since Jonathon Adler put it back on the radar a few years ago. It wasn't until I saw this photo of Renegade Handmade's In Stitches Showcase that I realized how chic a cross stitch sampler would look hung on a wall! I'm head-over-heels in love with this Mr. Darcy sampler and this silhouette sampler from etsy dealer thetimeisnow.

First, it was Chanel's Black Satin. This past fall, it was Chanel's Jade. So, the nail craze for Spring '10? Chanel's Particulière. Since its debut at the Spring 2010 RTW show, this grey-mauve vernis has been popping up everywhere! I'm trying to find a bottle before my girlfriends get their hands on one, but it's sold out everywhere. Apparently, Essie sells a similar shade, called "Chinchilly," for a third of the price. Hopefully, I'll be able to track it down soon.

I love looking at other designer's inspiration boards, so I thought I would share a few of my favorites. I just updated my inspiration board last night. There is only so much you can do in a tiny college apartment, and I've found that constantly updating my inspiration board is a fun (and inexpensive!) way to add color and style to my room.
