Have. Want. Need.
My favorite Spring collection was Dries Van Noten. Graphic prints were an integral part of the eclectic collection. These calculated prints command attention and are stimulating to the eye. Celebrities have already dabbled in this cool trend and it's only going to grow. If you want to be ahead of the curve, go graphic or go home. What's more, circular and angular graphic prints stand alone — Read more
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member stephaniepoli from the Su Casa group: With more beach days on the horizon I decided to give our living room a seaside refresh. I created a series of little vignettes, incorporating graphic and natural elements. Shades of coral, blue, and gold lend themselves well to an otherwise neutral room palette. I love decorating with plates. I scored these Read more
Real or not real? JumpFromPaper handbags look like they've literally jumped out of a graphic novel or comic book. It may look 2D from the front, but that's all optical illusion! The bags are no cardboard cutout — it's a roomy haven for laptops, tablets, headphones, or just, you know, your everyday needs. The bags are currently preorder only, but the company promises a shipment to the US in Read more
Last night, while washing the dishes, I broke a ceramic baker, cutting my finger and sending me running for first aid. The only bandages I could find in the house were decorated with Toy Story characters and Angry Birds; not exactly what this sophisticated mama wanted to be wearing today. That was just one of the many moments I realized I knew I was a mom. We know that you've experienced those Read more
We've long been fans of UK brand Boden's well-made pieces for men, women, and most of all, the kiddos. So when we were invited to a behind-the-scenes preview of the brand's 2012 Autumn/Winter range, we jumped at the opportunity. From Baby Boden gear for infants to Mini Boden for big kids, the brand has mastered the art of merging rich color combos and whimsical graphics with just enough Read more
Spring has proven to be a great time to try out fresh new fabrics, and one of our most loved of them all is eyelet. Even though it's been around for a while, the chic offshoot of the lace trend was a primary focus on the Spring 2012 runways at J.Crew, Vera Wang, Chloé, and Rebecca Taylor. Eyelet typically has the connotation of Sunday brunch or picnics in the park, but it's just as easy to wear Read more
Club Monaco just released its Fall lookbook filled with two-toned tweed blazers, printed trousers, and plenty of pretty blouses to take you into the chillier months ahead. The collection, inspired by Linda McCartney’s Life in Photographs, the leading male characters in the Silent Generation, and block-print patterns from Jewish-French artist Sonia Delaunay, focused on tailored pieces with a Read more
Long, sunny days and bright May blooms make for ideal photography weather, so it's the perfect time of year to deck out your camera. For a colorful makeover of an ordinary camera strap, we've scoured Etsy to find the cute camera strap covers that will suit any style.

As much as I love floral and botancial patterned rugs like Thomas Paul's romantic designs, the loose, free-flowing patterns don't do rooms any favors when you're looking to anchor furniture or create symmetry. Graphic, repeated shapes, on the hand, geometric ones especially, work wonders in that department. In both small and large scale, and a host of fab color palettes, there are plenty of these Read more
Nina Dobrev stopped by The Grove wearing a graphic Lisa Ho dress in LA yesterday for a chat with Extra's Maria Menounos. It's been a busy month for Nina, who returned from Spain over the weekend and attended the Met Gala in NYC on Monday night. Nina's black and gold Donna Karan Atelier showed off her incredible figure and was one of the hottest looks of the night — who was your pick for best Read more
