On Monday, First Lady Michelle Obama recognized First Lady (of American fashion) Anna Wintour at the ribbon cutting ceremony of the newly renovated and renamed Anna Wintour Costume Center at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Mrs. Obama wore a designer favorite (of her’s and mine) Naeem Khan for the fashion royalty event.
You can take a similar verdant, lace approach to your day wear in these smart, cropped trousers from J. Crew (on sale!):

By all definitions, our house is great – really. I know it is. However, when I’m click, click, clicking through the Internet I can’t help but feel a little lust for some pretty fabulous spaces. That’s okay, right?
Lately I am having a bit of a modern glam kick. I am happily drawn to glossy finishes, bright colors, flashes of metallic touches. And then I, and seemingly half the people I follow on Pinterest, found this groovy glam bath.
It is my newest favorite, and this is how to make it your own!
First, how glamorous is this bathroom? I am like swoon in love with it. The mosaic ikat tile is by New Ravenna. What is fantastic about this set up is that there is a really great mix of clean and simple lines in the sink and faucet, glitz and glamour in the mirror and sconces, and playful practicality in the vase, sponge and glasswear.
What do you think? Wouldn’t this bathroom make your morning routine so much happier?
I have always, always, always loved a lucky charm, a four leaf clover, except in my case this luck comes in mother of pearl or bright enamel and strung between gold. Yes, Van Cleef & Arpels, the Alambra is my lucky charm of choice.
In case you weren’t sure, luck doesn’t come cheap – and either does Van Cleef.
There is something about a piece of jewelry worn by Ladies Who Lunch, carpool, and rock the Grammy Awards. Fans, like me, are as diverse as Reese Witherspoon and Mariah Carey.

In the “save” category is from the very un-French, Target (*Tar-jay if you’re fancy). This clover necklace is actually fairly close to the aesthetic of the original. It appears, at least online, to be very delicate, and gotta love that shine.
Clover Lover: Target
In the “splurge” category we have the Jardin Black Agate Clover Necklace from every fashionista’s discount site, BlueFly. The VC&A original also comes in enamel colors, as shown on Reese, and so this comes pretty close and for a fairly good price.

In the “savings account” category we have the Van Cleef & Arpels original, the Alhambra. The sparkle, the shine, the ooh la la straight from France to your neck – or mine.

Do these sparkly goods make your eyes shine, too? And is it something you would be willing to splurge on?
First let me say that I am in LOVE with the Diane Von Furstenberg Spring 2011 collection. It’s like swoon, double take, amble mindlessly through the collection when I visit it in stores, kind of love. However, I am not currently in the spend $300+ on a bolt of berry blue silk wrapped around me. It’s a look I love, but I want for a lot less.

Attain: Aqua Sleeveless Ruffle Wrap Dress at Bloomingdale’s, Effe Patent Clutch by HOBO International, Sam Edelman Novato at Zappos
What looks are you loving for summer that you want for a lot less? Style at a steal!
A few weeks ago The Sartorialist featured what he called the “Shoe of the Season”; the Valentino Studded Kitten Heel. He wasn’t kidding.
