				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Olivia P. is constantly spotted in Tibi.  Ergo, I must also own Tibi.  And I think this <a title="Tibi" href="http://rstyle.me/n/w99vyjd" target="_blank">dress</a> ($435) is a good place to start, especially with this Alexis Bittar statement <a title="Alexis Bittar" href="http://www.alexisbittar.com/product.php?productid=20952" target="_blank">necklace</a> ($375):</p>

<p>Add a printed <a title="Matches" href="http://rstyle.me/n/xaejyjd" target="_blank">umbrella</a> (DVF, $59 &#8212; though, in a pinch a week ago, I picked up this J. Crew pocket <a title="J.

<p>Eee.  And &#8212; did you see the Target capsule collection by stylist Kate Young?  There were a few cute items mixed in, including this asymmetrical star-print <a title="Target" href="http://rstyle.me/n/xahryjd" target="_blank">dress</a> ($90), paired with these Aurelie Bidermann <a title="Net-A-Porter" href="http://rstyle.me/n/cm45yjd" target="_blank">drops</a> ($767) and these Prada <a title="Bergdorf Goodman" href="http://rstyle.me/n/xah5yjd" target="_blank">t-straps</a> ($430):</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First &#8211; the title of this post makes my mouth water for a confetti sprinkle cupcake.  You know &#8212; the super-fake, non-organic, boxed Pillsbury mix?  Yum.</p>
<p>Second &#8211; fresh whites paired with pops of BRIGHT confetti color.  That&#8217;s what I want right now.  Partly inspired by these cheery seaside photos (<a title="Society 6" href="http://society6.com/product/Coney-Island-Beach_Framed-Print#12=53&amp;13=55" target="_blank">image 1</a>; i<a title="Society 6" href="http://society6.com/product/Peeps-Dips_Print" target="_blank">mage 2</a> &#8212; both $19+ depending on size and frame) from Minagraphy.  Slightly reminiscent to me of Maison Gray&#8217;s genius, but at a fraction of the prix.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-23-at-8.05.35-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18876" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-23 at 8.05.35 PM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-23-at-8.05.35-PM.png" width="353" height="348" /></a></p>

<p>For example, I am loving this cheery aqua <a title="Hyla Dewitt" href="http://www.hyladewitt.com/collections/necklace/products/livvy" target="_blank">necklace</a> (Hyla Dewitt, $130) with this great, slightly hippy-dippie macrame <a title="TopSHop" href="http://rstyle.me/~pLbo" target="_blank">dress</a> ($150 &#8212; loves.  Coachella chic, ladies.)</p>

<p>Finish with simple <a title="Piperlime" href="http://rstyle.me/~my92" target="_blank">gold t-straps</a> ($69) and this fun little <a title="Shopbop" href="http://rstyle.me/~pLnA" target="_blank">clutcheroo</a> ($218):</p>

<p>Or, maybe a little white-on-white action in the form of this pair of white scalloped <a title="TopShop" href="http://rstyle.me/~pLqi" target="_blank">shorts</a> ($60) and this beautiful gauzy <a title="Calypso" href="http://www.calypsostbarth.com/clothing/shirts-tops/view-all/kiernan-open-lace-top" target="_blank">blouse</a> ($195), accented with this simple cord-and-bead <a title="Etsy" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/127355640/bloom-golden-delight-statement-necklace?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank">necklace</a> ($33! &#8212; love Etsy):</p>

<p>And now for the POW.  I like them &#8212; unexpectedly &#8212; with these pointy toed ombre neon snakeskin <a title="Loeffler Randall" href="http://rstyle.me/n/whdjyjd" target="_blank">flats</a> (Loeffler Randall, $275), which I would wear every day of the week and twice on Tuesday&#8230;need.</p>

<p>AND <a title="Roztayger" href="http://roztayger.com/product/white_alyssa_bag_by_ro" target="_blank">this mega-great bag</a> in stark white ($308):</p>

<p>Or: this adorbs pink-and-white <a title="TopShop" href="http://rstyle.me/~pLpF" target="_blank">dress</a> ($140; love the shape &#8212; keeps it from being too cutesy) with this phenom oh-so-covetable marble and crystal <a title="Anthropologie" href="http://rstyle.me/~pLxv" target="_blank">stunner</a> ($68 &#8212; love when necklaces incorporate unusual materials like wood, marble, etc.):</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OOOOOOO man, I have been a bad little bloggerina.</p>
<p>Forgive?</p>
<p>Moving right along: this past weekend, I took a &#8220;me&#8221; day.  Slightly unnecessary and self-involved since I don&#8217;t have children and I also have a particularly awesome husband who I&#8217;d like to spend 100% of my time with AND I have about 1 friend in all of Chicago, and she is my sister.  So it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m running around catering to the needs of others all the time.  Nonetheless, when Mr. Mags informed me that he&#8217;d be going on a brewery tour with some guys and then getting burgers, I decided to counterbalance with a Magpie day of spa + beauty services, food I like, and shopping.  It was&#8230;heaven.  I had a massage, mani/pedi, and waxing (less fun, but necessary), grabbed lunchie for one at <a title="Floriole" href="http://www.floriole.com/" target="_blank">Floriole</a> (don&#8217;t feel bad &#8211; I had my other best friend, a good book, to keep me company&#8230;I&#8217;m reading <em>Lean In</em> right now and we must discuss this at some point &#8212; had to check it out given all of the criticism, and I completely disagree with the uproar), and then shopped my brains out.  I got some little items for the home from Crate + Barrel and Pottery Barn; some J. Crew treats (um, <a title="J. Crew" href="http://rstyle.me/~pfSG" target="_blank">yes</a> and <a title="J. Crew" href="http://rstyle.me/~pfSV" target="_blank">yes</a>); a ridiculously discounted <a title="Club Monaco" href="http://rstyle.me/n/v39xyjd" target="_blank">lace mini</a> and <a title="Club Monaco" href="http://rstyle.me/n/v395yjd" target="_blank">striped tee</a> from Club Monaco; and&#8230;daydreamed about all the things I want to purchase from <a title="Jayson Home" href="http://www.jaysonhome.com/" target="_blank">Jayson Home + Garden</a>.  How and why I have never been into this store before, I do not know, but &#8212; my GOD that store is speaking my language.  I want every little thang.  And it&#8217;s conveniently around the corner from my digs in Chi-town.  First up, they had <a title="Jayson Home" href="http://www.jaysonhome.com/rugs/hides/goatskin-hide.html" target="_blank">these goatskin rugs</a> ($95) casually draped over stools, side tables, etc., and I need one in the baddest way.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/goat1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18854" alt="goat1" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/goat1.jpg" width="471" height="291" /></a> <a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/goat2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18855" alt="goat2" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/goat2.jpg" width="471" height="291" /></a> <a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/goat3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18856" alt="goat3" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/goat3.jpg" width="471" height="291" /></a></p>
<p>Yes m&#8217;am.  I am thinking it might go well over our leather ottoman.  They would also play nicely beneath <a title="Furbish Studio" href="http://www.furbishstudio.com/tortoise-tray-table/#.UXMdvxk8yPV" target="_blank">this tortoise tray table</a> ($155), which I think should probably make its way into my house.  (<a title="West Elm" href="http://rstyle.me/n/rcyhyjd" target="_blank">This one</a> from West Elm, $150, is also cool with its chrome legs, but I don&#8217;t like the tray as much &#8212; they have, in the store, one that has a lineny-finished tray top that I die over.)  Would look fantastico with this gold <a title="Circa Lighting" href="http://www.circalighting.com/details.aspx?pid=1669" target="_blank">lamp</a> (I.die. &#8211; $588) and some gold-accent pieces, like these <a title="Canvas Home Store" href="http://canvashomestore.com/collections/ceramics/products/dauville-gold-glazed-bowls" target="_blank">little bowls</a>, which I just snagged from Canvas Home ($22-55):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/LAMP.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18858" alt="LAMP" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/LAMP.png" width="280" height="271" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-20-at-5.59.15-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18857" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-20 at 5.59.15 PM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-20-at-5.59.15-PM.png" width="305" height="347" /></a></p>
<p>And, even though these belong in the kitch, I might consider using just one as a little accent piece on the tray, maybe atop a set of books?! &#8212; because these <a title="Waiting on Martha" href="http://www.shopwaitingonmartha.com/collections/whats-new/products/hand-painted-giraffe-measuring-cups" target="_blank">giraffe measuring cups</a> are SO freaking cute ($25):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-20-at-6.09.59-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18861" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-20 at 6.09.59 PM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-20-at-6.09.59-PM.png" width="353" height="170" /></a></p>
<p>Among the 23923898 other things I want from Jayson Home: these <a title="Jayson Home" href="http://www.jaysonhome.com/furniture/ottomans/faux-python-x-bench.html" target="_blank">python x-benches</a> ($595).  I mean, how glam?!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bench1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18859" alt="bench1" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bench1.jpg" width="471" height="291" /></a> <a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bench2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18860" alt="bench2" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bench2.jpg" width="471" height="291" /></a></p>
<p>Shifting gears a bit from animalia to all things colorful, I recently discovered that the illustrator Happy Menocal has begun to sell prints online, and am absolutely dying over <a title="Happy Menocal" href="http://www.happymenocal.bigcartel.com/product/matador-print-trio" target="_blank">this matador trio</a> ($300 for set &#8212; also available individually).  You may know already that I snagged an amazing vintage matador print that is currently hanging in my guest bedroom, so I&#8217;m worried I might start to seem like a freak if I have tons of matador/bullfight artwork in my home, but&#8230;these are amazing.  Love the colors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/mat3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18864" alt="mat3" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/mat3.jpg" width="464" height="474" /></a></p>
<p>The set would look uh-may-zing hanging above one of <a title="Blu Dot" href="http://www.bludot.com/modern-desks/strut-table-medium.html" target="_blank">these modern-looking tables</a> ($699) from Blu Dot after discovering that Jenna Lyons uses the one in hot pink as her desk.  Um, amazing.  I think they may be a little too modern for my sensibility, but on the other hand, how cool would it be to see that sitting in an otherwise more traditional bedroom/office?!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-20-at-6.11.47-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18862" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-20 at 6.11.47 PM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-20-at-6.11.47-PM.png" width="428" height="283" /></a> <a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-20-at-6.11.52-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18863" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-20 at 6.11.52 PM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-20-at-6.11.52-PM.png" width="437" height="310" /></a>While we&#8217;re on the topic of color, I think I may have mentioned that I&#8217;ve been slowly&#8230;painfully&#8230;trying to coordinate and style one of my bookshelves.  The main thread tying things together?  Mint/aqua, gold, and white.  I decided I needed a few more mint/pistachio items and decided on easy way to add the color would be to stack some items atop a cakestand &#8212; and narrowed it down to <a title="Waiting on Martha" href="http://www.shopwaitingonmartha.com/products/jadeite-milk-glass-pedestal" target="_blank">this jadeite style</a> ($36) and this <a title="Layla Grace" href="http://rstyle.me/n/v4avyjd" target="_blank">beaded style</a> ($17), though I also considered this <a title="Etsy" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/91366370/custom-wedding-cake-stand-7-inch-color?ref=usr_faveitems" target="_blank">personalizable ceramic style</a> from Etsy&#8217;s Vessels and Wares ($80):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/stands.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18865" alt="stands" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/stands.jpg" width="642" height="769" /></a></p>
<p>I went with the first one.  I think it will look uh-may-zing with the other trinkets I have going on, including <a title="Ferm" href="http://www.fermlivingshop.com/collections/kitchen/products/egg-cups" target="_blank">these adorable egg cups</a> ($22) &#8211;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past six months, I have done a lot of traveling.  I sort of imagine myself like George Clooney in &#8220;Up in the Air.&#8221;  (Exaggeration of the century.)  I&#8217;ve become a pro at navigating the security screening checkpoint &#8212; I have it down to a science and know what to wear vs. not wear in order to expedite the ordeal; where to store items so that they are easy to access and remove and place in the right bin; etc.  I&#8217;ve also come to be too keenly aware of the minor nuances/frustrations of flying &#8212; for example, if I&#8217;m in boarding group 5, I find myself pouting because this means I&#8217;ll need to gate check my bag; if I am miraculously in boarding group 2, this probably means I get the much-hated Coach seat right behind first class, and cannot have my carry-on with me during the flight.  More pouting.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a huge brat about all of this.  I realize how lucky I am to have a great job and to have the flexibility to do business from my home most of the time and to make my way to our headquarters when needed.  And when it comes down to it, I&#8217;m not flying <em>every</em> single week (just most of them&#8230;), which I know many people have to do.</p>
<p>All this to say that when I am home, I am one happy little chica.  When I flew back most recently from DC after a particularly stressful and busy string of traveling weeks, I saw Mr. Magpie&#8217;s cute little face at the door in our happy little apartment and I started to cry on cue.  I don&#8217;t know if it was relief or stress or homesickness or exhaustion &#8212; probably a mix of all four &#8212; but it made me realize how much of a homebody I am.  (Don&#8217;t worry, the tears aren&#8217;t really anything serious.  Mr. Magpie claims I need to &#8220;have a daily cry&#8221; to keep things in balance.  I am the worst/biggest crier ever.  I cry at commercials, in every single movie I watch, when I read something particularly moving in an email, when I think about our wedding, when Mr. Magpie brings me flowers or leaves me a note when I see an old picture of my siblings and I.  Ugh, it&#8217;s a problem.  I come by this earnestly however &#8212; everyone in my family wears their hearts on their sleeves, including my tough cookie father.)</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;ve been slowly working on making my nest the coziest place it can possibly be.  I feel like I find new things I &#8220;need&#8221; on a daily basis, much to Mr. Magpie&#8217;s dismay.  He&#8217;s coached me into the &#8220;24-hour wait-and-see&#8221; policy &#8212; if I see something I want, I have to wait 24 hours to see if I still feel as strongly about it before buying.  This is quite a shock to my system, as I&#8217;m much more of the &#8220;omg-I-need-to-buy-this-right-now-let-me-scramble-for-my-credit-card&#8221; ilk, and the 24-hour-wait period leaves me a constant state of anxiety, since I almost always have something I want and I almost always still want that thing 24 hours later.</p>
<p>Right now, my big daydream is purchasing and framing a <a title="Natural Curiosities" href="http://www.graciousstyle.com/shop/paule-marrot-feathers?utm_source=froogle_feed&amp;utm_term=GraciousStyle&amp;utm_campaign=Natural+Curiosities&amp;gclid=CKmDvfT3s7YCFdE-MgodDDMABQ" target="_blank">Paul Marrot &#8220;Feathers&#8221; textile</a> ($997, more for framing)&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-10.53.23-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18817" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 10.53.23 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-10.53.23-AM.png" width="730" height="588" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see, Paul Marrot has something of a cult following amongst the owners of well-decorated homes&#8230;</p>

<p>I want to join their ranks.  Paul Marrot has some other beautiful textiles, but the bird one is calling my name (helloooo MAGPIE):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-10.53.46-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18822" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 10.53.46 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-10.53.46-AM.png" width="446" height="362" /></a> <a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-10.53.59-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18823" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 10.53.59 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-10.53.59-AM.png" width="449" height="449" /></a></p>
<p>What do you think?!  I die.  Pleeeease can this show up at my house for my birthday in June?!  I want it hanging over our bed.  (Yes, that was directed at you, Mr. Mags.)  I love it because I&#8217;ve sort of taken up an aviary theme in various parts of my home in homage to my Magpie alter-ego.  And I found <a title="One Kings Lane" href="http://rstyle.me/n/uf6vyjd" target="_blank">these gilded prints </a>($189) and am pretty sure I need to add one to our gallery wall above our side-board, which features a lot of golds, blacks, and whites:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bird1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18828" alt="bird" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bird1.jpg" width="620" height="422" /></a></p>

<p>And maybe this feather <a title="Jayson Home" href="http://www.jaysonhome.com/feather-collection-tray.html" target="_blank">tray</a> ($35) needs to accompany this purchase?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-11.21.33-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18831" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 11.21.33 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-11.21.33-AM.png" width="457" height="241" /></a></p>
<p>Other items I am currently swooning over&#8230;<a title="Euro Style Lighting" href="http://www.eurostylelighting.com/euv7744.htm" target="_blank">this butterfly-ish chair</a> ($358), which would look fab alongside Mr. Magpie&#8217;s leather couch and our slightly hunting/safari-themed living area.  (We have a set of mounted antlers similar to the ones shown below that we found on One Kings Lane.  You can find similar styles <a title="Etsy" href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/112438456/white-faux-taxidermy-faux-deer-antler?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=product_listing_promoted&amp;utm_campaign=art_mid&amp;gclid=CNvs6Jv5uLYCFe8WMgod0n4A5Q" target="_blank">in this Etsy store</a>.)  Also, I&#8217;ve been whining about the need for <a title="Shop Furbish" href="http://www.furbishstudio.com/brown-metallic-gold-zebra-stencil-hide-rug/#.UWGeXxnfsWU" target="_blank">a cowhide rug</a> ($780) for centuries now, but it&#8217;s been a no go with Mr. Magpie to date.  He&#8217;s (rightly) pointed out that we have sort of a mish-mash of themes going on in our living area &#8212; some hunting/safari/horse-type accents; a slight chinoiserie bent to the coffee table/pillow situation; and bookcase styling that includes aqua and metallic accents.  The rug might really confuse things.  Or it might be awesome, which is the side towards which I&#8217;m leaning.  It doesn&#8217;t all need to make sense, but there need to be color or design elements that tie things together.  We shall see&#8230;</p>

<p>And P.S. &#8211; <a title="Dana Gibson" href="http://www.danagibson.com/collections/pillows/products/leopard-lumbar-in-cream" target="_blank">this leopard lumbar pillow</a> ($165) needs to be mine/needs to join the pillow party on our couch:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-11.33.04-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18833" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 11.33.04 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-11.33.04-AM.png" width="289" height="141" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I just set my eyes on this amazing <a title="Dana Gibson" href="http://www.danagibson.com/collections/lighting/products/cowhide-lamp-with-shade" target="_blank">cow-hide base lamp</a> ($375) and am thinking it&#8217;d look uh-may-zing atop something like <a title="West Elm" href="http://rstyle.me/n/uf7qyjd" target="_blank">this antique-finish media center piece</a> ($1,699):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/lamps.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18834" alt="lamps" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/lamps.jpg" width="659" height="584" /></a></p>
<p>I might style the top with <a title="Waiting on Martha" href="http://www.shopwaitingonmartha.com/products/resin-antler" target="_blank">these gilded antlers</a> ($24.50 apiece) from my new home decor obsession, <a title="Shop Waiting on Martha" href="http://www.shopwaitingonmartha.com/" target="_blank">Waiting on Martha</a> (great e-boutique): <a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-11.15.52-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18826" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 11.15.52 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-11.15.52-AM.png" width="348" height="290" /></a><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-11.15.56-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 11.15.56 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-11.15.56-AM.png" width="347" height="293" /></a></p>
<p>And maybe I&#8217;d style the top with <a title="Target" href="http://rstyle.me/n/ugwvyjd" target="_blank">a Safari book</a> (on sale for $16), some fancy <a title="Caspari" href="http://www.casparionline.com/Tortoise-Matchbox.html" target="_blank">matches</a> ($3.50 &#8212; p.s., I&#8217;m obsessed with Caspari and have spent a shameful amount of money on patterned paper napkins), elephant <a title="C.

<p>Now, I know I mentioned this in Friday&#8217;s post, but I&#8217;ve been realllllly feeling the Moroccan influence in textiles lately, and I feel that especially towards &#8220;fouta&#8221; type runners, hand-towels, etc.  See below to get on my page:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/foutas.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18840" alt="foutas" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/foutas.jpg" width="498" height="745" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/fouta21.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18842" alt="fouta2" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/fouta21.jpg" width="497" height="570" /></a></p>
<p>Barf, I really feel like I need to up my ante when I see shots like this.  The gold hardware in the latter photo (from Alaina K.&#8217;s <a title="The Everygirl" href="http://theeverygirl.com/feature/alaina-kaczmarskis-chicago-apartment-tour/" target="_blank">stunning house tour </a> which I already drooled over last week in a few posts&#8230;PS &#8211; check out her blog, <a title="Live Creating Yourself" href="http://www.livecreatingyourself.com/" target="_blank">Live Creating Yourself</a>, for more inspiration) is so unexpected and fresh against that wainscoting, and the wallpaper in the former is so bold, whimsical, and just quirky-cool.  (I think it&#8217;s Katie Ridder&#8217;s <a title="Katie Ridder" href="http://www.katieridder.com/" target="_blank">Beetlecat print</a>.) (And also, the first picture is from a tour of Bailey McCarthy&#8217;s <a title="Design Sponge" href="http://www.designsponge.com/2012/06/sneak-peek-pete-bailey-mccarthy.html" target="_blank">stunning home</a> &#8212; she also has a great bloglet, <a title="Peppermint Bliss" href="http://www.peppermintbliss.com/" target="_blank">Peppermint Bliss</a>, and also happens to own <a title="Biscuit Home" href="http://www.biscuit-home.com/" target="_blank">Biscuit Home</a>, an e-boutique I&#8217;ve featured in the past that has lots of amazing home goods and linens.)</p>
<p>OK, If you managed to survive that last paragraph without getting lost on the interwebs, dying over the beautiful homes of others &#8212; well done, m&#8217;lady.  I could literally get lost for hours looking through the archives of all of the sites above.</p>
<p>But my point was that I like these Moroccan-inspired linens, like the one in Alaina&#8217;s bathroom &#8212; <a title="West Elm" href="http://rstyle.me/n/ug24yjd" target="_blank">this exact style</a> can be found on the cheap ($10/towel!) at West Elm:</p>

<p>Or maybe one or several of these organic-looking table <a title="Canvas Store" href="http://canvashomestore.com/collections/textiles/products/hand-woven-linen-scarf-runner" target="_blank">runners</a>?  (And P.S., check out the whole Canvas Home store, which is chock-full of great serving essentials.  Mr. Magpie and I own a bunch of wine tumblers like <a title="Canvas Home Store" href="http://canvashomestore.com/collections/glass/products/spanish-wine-glass" target="_blank">these</a> and pretty much use them exclusively.  For some reason, all of our guests LOVE drinking out of them &#8212; we always get compliments!  And I also just snapped up <a title="Canvas Home Store" href="http://canvashomestore.com/products/dauville-gold-glazed-bowls" target="_blank">these gold-lined bowls</a>, on sale.</p>

<p>Like maybe a cluster of <a title="C. Wonder" href="http://rstyle.me/n/dvs3yjd" target="_blank">ginger gars</a> ($58-$78) &#8211;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-5.21.13-PM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18848" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 5.21.13 PM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-07-at-5.21.13-PM.png" width="494" height="514" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;and maybe these fun printed <a title="Zara" href="http://www.zarahome.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/zarahomeus/-15/80279977/471034/1848017/Caito%2BBowl" target="_blank">bowls</a> ($9.90 each), an oyster <a title="Biscuit-Home" href="http://www.biscuit-home.com/store/porcelain-cobalt-oyster-plate/dp/1167" target="_blank">plate</a> ($30 &#8212; from Biscuit Home, mentioned above &#8212; and I recently have decided I&#8217;d like to take up collecting them and then line a wall of our kitchen area with them&#8230;hello, lifelong pursuit), and some <a title="One Kings Lane" href="http://rstyle.me/n/ug4kyjd" target="_blank">linen-esque napkins</a> from MyDrap (currently on sale for $20 at One Kings Lane! &#8212; great little hostess gift when wrapped up in a bow; I&#8217;m especially smitten with <a title="One Kings Lane" href="http://rstyle.me/n/ug43yjd" target="_blank">this gingham style</a>):</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We made it.  Friday.  Yes.  Done.  AND the winner of the bomb giveaway is listed at the bottom of this post&#8230;!</p>
<p>Some &#8220;tings&#8221; I&#8217;ve been obsessing over lately, in no meaningful order&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/COVET1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17760" alt="COVET1" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/COVET1.jpg" width="247" height="62" /></a>I finally abandoned Proactiv face wash (see ya, teenage years &#8212; probably appropriate as I am in my late-20s&#8230;) for <a title="Sephora" href="http://rstyle.me/n/t9x8yjd" target="_blank">Soap + Glory&#8217;s face wash</a>.  Ob.sessed.  I told you awhile ago that I thought I&#8217;d be all &#8220;adult&#8221; and switch to Laura Mercier&#8217;s beautifully packaged cleansing series, but it just wasn&#8217;t right for me (read: my first breakout since I was 13 &#8212; LITERALLY.  Cue panic.) and I instantly ran back to my loyal Proactiv.  Then I discovered <a title="Sephora" href="http://rstyle.me/n/t9x8yjd" target="_blank">Soap + Glory&#8217;s face wash</a> through a sample I received.  Done deal.  First, I LOVE the soapy, old-school scent.  I know some people are sensitive to fragrance, but the smell makes me feel so fresh and so clean, clean (*Outkast reference).  Second, it&#8217;s inexpensive!  (Well, compared to cosmetic line analogs.)  $16 for a big tube that lasts forevs.  And finally, it&#8217;s kept my skin clean and blemish-free for weeks now.  So: ignore the teeny-bopper packaging (it reminds me of Clearasil or something) and do it.</p>

Crew" href="http://rstyle.me/~my5K" target="_blank">this tee</a> is on sale for $35, plus 30% off.  Love the colors.  And, you know, I love me some stripes.  Pair with the perfect beachy <a title="Calypso" href="http://www.calypsostbarth.com/shell-necklace" target="_blank">necklace</a> (Suzanna Dai, $425) and glossy gold <a title="PiperLime" href="http://rstyle.me/~my92" target="_blank">sandals</a> ($69):</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because I just booked a trip to my parents&#8217; winter home in FL, but I&#8217;m having a minor love affair with all things palm right now&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Palm.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18798" alt="Palm" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Palm.jpg" width="592" height="850" /></a>{<a title="Scully and Scully" href="http://www.scullyandscully.com/JEWELRY/Earrings/Gold/Palm+Tree+Leaf+Gold+Earrings+Small.axd" target="_blank">Gold earrings</a>: $2,500, Scully + Scully; <a title="Scotch and Soda" href="http://webstore-nl.scotch-soda.com/women-collection/tees-tops/silky-top-with-palm-tree-embroidered-lace.html" target="_blank">coral top</a>: $105, Scotch + Soda; <a title="Moda Operandi" href="http://rstyle.me/n/t95jyjd" target="_blank">&#8220;Pina Colada&#8221; sandal</a>: $995, Aquazzura; <a title="Kirna Zabete" href="http://www.kirnazabete.com/bags/clutches/palms-safari-clutch?siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-JSFBIXjnKFV14MnuxL8C4w" target="_blank">palm clutch</a>: $460, Lizzie Fortunato}</p>

<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/COVET6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17768" alt="COVET6" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/COVET6.jpg" width="236" height="75" /></a>Oh, Paris.  <em>Tu me manques. </em> I have been dreaming of a trip to my favorite city in the universe for the past few months in particular, so I&#8217;ve been on a hunt for some artwork that would fill the void.  I feel like a lot of &#8220;Paris&#8221; artwork is super-cheesy &#8211;<em> great, another Eiffel tower sketch</em>.  It&#8217;s almost like a touristy sub-genre in the art field.  Then I found the <a title="Etsy" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheParisPrintShop?section_id=12653636" target="_blank">Paris Print Shop</a>, which I loved because the photography sets out to capture the nooks and crannies of the city rather than the big tourist attractions, and the shop suggests that you group your artwork by color, which makes the entire operation seem a bit more sophisticated.  I very seriously contemplated buying a group of four or eight for the wall of our guest room, and was leaning towards the mint/aqua collection given the colors in our bedding.  (I ended up deciding to go with a set of vintage Audubon bird prints that I had framed; I knew Mr. Magpie would prefer them and they lent the room a much-needed &#8220;vintage&#8221; flair.)  Still, I&#8217;m hemming and hawing over where I could squeeze these into our apartment and what color I might go with.  (I&#8217;ve been thinking about reupholstering our kitchen stools with <a title="Rubie Green" href="http://www.rubiegreen.com/fabrics/tillinghast.html" target="_blank">this Rubie Green fabric</a>, so maybe the yellow would look lovely on the wall behind them?)</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>First: I omitted a very important part of the <a title="TheFashionMagpie" href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/2013/04/01/spring-in-my-step/">amazing giveaway</a> I launched on Monday (if you&#8217;ve not yet entered, do so by the end of today by leaving a comment on <a title="TheFashionMagpie" href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/2013/04/01/spring-in-my-step/">this post</a> for a great addition to your jewelry box!) &#8212; the fact that this giveaway was coordinated by the amazingly talented <a title="Stella + Dot" href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/dawnbiddlecomb" target="_blank">Stella + Dot stylist Dawn Biddlecomb</a>!  If you <a title="Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/shopwithdawnbiddlecomb" target="_blank">like her Facebook page</a> or <a title="Pinterest" href="http://pinterest.com/dawnbiddlecomb/" target="_blank">follow her on Pinterest</a> (in addition to leaving a comment on the giveaway post), you will be entered twice into the running for this amazing treat!  Woot woot!</strong></p>
<p>Second: can I tell you that I found the absolute <a title="Loft" href="http://rstyle.me/~mpAe" target="_blank">cutest striped, cap-sleeved blouse</a> ($54) at Loft, of all places?!  Love the cut + fit.  The shirt has made me long for dead-of-summer heat, the 4th of July, and all things red-white-and-blue.  This in turn led to something of a stripe fixation in the middle of the week, and <a title="Net-A-Porter" href="http://rstyle.me/n/t5qxyjd" target="_blank">this RED Valentino top</a> shot to the top of my covet list ($395), which I might wear with red or white skinnies and these phenom Sergio Rossi <a title="Colette" href="http://en.colette.fr/directory/currency/switch/currency/USD/uenc/aHR0cDovL2VuLmNvbGV0dGUuZnIvc2VyZ2lvLXJvc3NpLXNhbmRhbHMtcm9zc2NoYTQ5MjUwLW5vYmwtZW4uaHRtbA,,/" target="_blank">sandals</a> ($1,000):</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes, I want to rid my closet of all things frilly and colorful in favor of simple and sophisticated black + white.  I bounce back and forth between this extreme and the other, i.e., lots of mish-mashed bright colors and patterns.  Today I&#8217;m of the former mind, and I wish I was wearing <a title="Intermix" href="http://rstyle.me/n/s6ncyjd" target="_blank">this</a> ($575 &#8212; yah, yah, I know it&#8217;s a jupsuit-type-thing, but it&#8217;s just so sleek and looks like it could be separates) with some lovely <a title="AshabyADM" href="http://www.ashabyadm.com/earrings/olivia-b" target="_blank">drops</a> ($495 &#8212; obsessed with the line ASHA) and these inexpensive ankle-strap <a title="Zara" href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-nam-S2013/358009/1048814/VAMP%20SHOE%20WITH%20ANKLE%20STRAPS" target="_blank">heels</a> ($49):</p>

<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-8.57.57-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18675" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 8.57.57 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-8.57.57-AM.png" width="218" height="285" /></a></p>
<p>This dotted Phillip Lim <a title="Shoe Zoe" href="http://www.shopzoeonline.com/shopping/women/item10370759.aspx?source=shopstyle" target="_blank">clutch</a> ($876 &#8212; or get the look for FAR less with <a title="Boohoo" href="http://rstyle.me/~llwa" target="_blank">this inexpensive find</a>) would finish the look perfectly:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-8.59.05-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18676" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 8.59.05 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-8.59.05-AM.png" width="350" height="303" /></a>I&#8217;d offset the sophisticated look with a bright red lip (<a title="Sephora" href="http://rstyle.me/~llwE" target="_blank">Nars&#8217; Heat Wave</a> is pretty bomb &#8212; $26 &#8212; and P.S., I just bought <a title="Sephora" href="http://rstyle.me/~llxh" target="_blank">Nars&#8217; Roman Holiday</a>, a pretty soft pink, and am literally obsessed &#8212; ob.sessed. with the color.  BUY.  Immediately.):</p>

<p>I am also very into the idea of a wrap maxi skirt like <a title="TopShop" href="http://rstyle.me/~llxR" target="_blank">this white style</a> ($190 &#8212; so sophisticated!) with this black silky <a title="AmRag" href="http://www.amrag.com/shopping/women/blessed-are-the-meek-raiders-draped-blouse-item-10367276.aspx" target="_blank">tank</a> (love the neckline &#8212; $120) and a pop of color in the form of <a title="Bauble Bar" href="http://rstyle.me/n/kc9qyjd" target="_blank">these fun drops</a> ($26):</p>

<p>I&#8217;d finish with these elegant Jason Wu <a title="Colette" href="http://www.colette.fr/directory/currency/switch/currency/USD/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jb2xldHRlLmZyL2phc29uLXd1LWVzY2FycGlucy13dWNoYTEzMjA5c2UtbnVibC1mci5odG1s/" target="_blank">heels</a> ($845) and this pop-of-color <a title="J.

<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.59.33-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18691" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 9.59.33 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.59.33-AM.png" width="240" height="151" /></a></p>
<p>For something more casual, how about a ladylike <a title="J. Crew" href="http://rstyle.me/~llED" target="_blank">top</a> ($198) with a statement <a title="Farfetch" href="http://rstyle.me/~llLB" target="_blank">necklace</a> (wow &#8212; $206; if that&#8217;s too funky for your taste, a simpler tassel/lariat necklace like <a title="Max + Chloe" href="http://rstyle.me/~llLZ" target="_blank">this one</a> would do the trick), some leather-esque <a title="Shopbop" href="http://rstyle.me/~llKJ" target="_blank">leggings</a> ($194) and some polka-dot <a title="Zara" href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-nam-S2013/358009/1158541/POLKA%20DOT%20BALLERINA%20SHOES" target="_blank">flats</a> ($49)?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.35.28-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18685" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 9.35.28 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.35.28-AM.png" width="196" height="394" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.20.19-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18684" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 9.20.19 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.20.19-AM.png" width="393" height="396" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/leather1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18194" alt="leather" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/leather1.png" width="198" height="510" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.14.36-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18681" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 9.14.36 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.14.36-AM.png" width="146" height="209" /></a></p>
<p>Finish with one of those monogrammable <a title="Clare Vivier" href="http://www.clarevivier.com/collections/totes/products/small-duffel-escale" target="_blank">Clare Vivier roll totes</a> ($476):</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.41.39-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18687" alt="Screen Shot 2013-03-27 at 9.41.39 AM" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-27-at-9.41.39-AM.png" width="489" height="530" /></a>Finally, while on the topic of black + white, I have to share a recent obsession.  My bestie has long been coercing me into getting no-chip (shellac) manicures, and they do work like a charm for someone like me, as I&#8217;m often cooking/washing and have been known to ruin a manicure within a few hours of receiving it.  I&#8217;ve been getting stark white nails (usually OPI&#8217;s Alpine Snow) &#8212; obsessed at the moment.  I know it sounds scary, but it comes off looking very&#8230;polished and sophisticated.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/nails.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18693" alt="nails" src="http://www.thefashionmagpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/nails.jpg" width="414" height="396" /></a></p>
<p>Happy Hump Day?</p>
