What I'm Wearing Now: Iro, Westward Leaning and Zara.

Remember when The Secret was trying to make itself happen?  The idea that if you put something out in the universe it will happen?  Well, I said the Kenzo tiger sweatshirt would be mine a few posts back, and although it didn't magically appear at my doorstep I found its cousin at Zara and brought him home with me.

Also in the picture are my Westward Leaning sunglasses, which if there was paparazzi photo spread of me saying "Gillian really loves her..."  it would be with my Westward Leaning sunglasses.  The jacket is Iro and even though I probably needed another jacket like I need a hole in my head, this one is very light weight and is perfect for that odd transition time between winter and spring.

When You Know a Love is True: Chloe Susanna Boots.

You know when something you like has been knocked off a million times, blogged about by every blogger you admire and you still don't care, you still love the thing?  That's how I feel about the Chloe Susanna boots.  I want to wear them with skinny jeans and oversized sweaters and feel really bad ass.

You can find this seasons version here.

You Will Be Mine: Kenzo Sweatshirt.

Oh yes, you will be mine.

Walls That Talk but Don't Shout.

I'm currently living in a house for the first time since I was 14 when I left for boarding school, so having more space than a dorm room or a New York City apartment is a little overwhelming.  Especially overwhelming is the idea of decorating this house.  So I started looking around on different blogs and I discovered decorating a house is kind of like styling an outfit!  I can do that!  My first step was to identify a style and gather inspiration, in my search I discover this charming house decorated by San Fransico based designer Benjamin Dhong.  I was really taken by the neutral tones he used on the walls, and it struck me how you don't need to splash lots of different colors on the walls to create a mood or homey feel.  I reached out to him to get the scoop and he was nice enough to tell me exactly what colors he used so that we could know exactly what's going on in this gorgeous creation of his.

I'm pretty obsessed with this living room.  The walls are painted with Glidden Basic Beige with the trim in Benjamin Moore Linen White.

I love the pop of yellow in this white kitchen.  The walls and cabinets here are Benjamin Moore Hazy Skies.

This bold entry way is a beautiful Benjamin Moore color called Sea Star.  I might just have to use it for my dining room.  Dhong said it reminded him of a color you might see in Williamsburg, a reference I really appreciated.

I like this neutral grass cloth in the master bedroom, I'm think of doing something similar in my den.

Check out more of Benjamin Dhong's work here.  It's exceptional.

Loving Laveer: A New Line from Kate Ciepluch.

I love jackets.  Mostly because I'm a little lazy and throwing a cool jacket over a good pair of jeans and a tshirt is the fastest way to chic I've found.  I think Kate Ciepluch, former fashion director of the beloved e-tailer Shopbop, agrees with me.  Hence, her creation of Laveer, a line focused on easy yet impossibly cool jackets that are quickly becoming an addiction for me.

I'm loving my "Revelry" Jacket, but I'm told it's nearly sold out now.  It's great with my Celine tote I use as my diaper bag.

This was the other option I was considering and now I'm kicking myself I didn't get both. Isn't is so Isabel Marant?

I'm also loving this style.  It's so easy!

You can shop Laveer here or here.
