TAKE FIVE TUESDAY

Why don't you...

Take FIVE minutes and hop on over to Into the Gloss and read this interview with m' girl crush, Jenna Lyons.

A Few Notes:

• Upon reading the article, I immediately purchased MAC's Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Staunchly Stylish. I mean, if it's good enough for Jenna... Now I just need to try the Stress Relief Eye Mask.
• I don't want to ruin the interview for you, but my favorite quote: "I approach aging with ice cream and a martini."
• When Peggy Guggenheim and Frida Kahlo are referenced as inspirations behind J.Crew's fragrance line, you have my undivided attention. Has anyone tried it? Do share the deetz.
• Years ago, I fell over when I read Jenna shares a love for Washi tape. You've got to be kidding me. Were we separated at birth?! Does this mean we're best friends?! And now I see she's got a thing for her label maker. I'm dying over here.
• From the One Fine Day vault, I present my take on Jenna's wildly stylish office in this post. You don't want to miss it!

P.S. We're bugging out and headed home today. I can't wait to share snapshots from Austin and Marfa with you!

In the meantime, you can find snippets of our trip on Instagram. I hope your Tuesday is tremendous!

Monday Moodboard: Jenna Lyons' Office

via

As I sat down at my desk Sunday afternoon to bloggie brainstorm, I realized the creative juices just weren't flowing and I couldn't force myself to come up with a single post idea. It was getting ridonkulous! When this happens, it usually means that I need to create something tangible or go outside.  Upon this realization, I looked at the inspiration board above my desk and decided it needed a facelift. For me, rearranging my bulletin board is so therapeutic. Before getting out my scissors and push pins, I thought about all of my favorite work spaces and inspiration boards. Naturally, Jenna Lyons' iconic office came to mind. Much to my excitement, J.Crew's president and creative director has been making the rounds in the November issue of Lonny magazine and the December issue of Glamour (she's one of their 2012 women of the year). It's like these publications knew I needed a creative and inspirational boost. There's something imperfectly perfect about her office. The space is vibrant, messy, and I love it! How about the artful stacks of magazines and books? Ugh, and the wall that's covered in torn-out magazine pages, fabric swatches, sketches, etc.? While this blog post might be as close as I ever get to stepping foot into Jenna's office, it serves as the perfect source of inspiration to kick off another work week.
