There are just so many great things I have come across as of late, it would take forever to get them all out to you if I saved them for individual posts, so here they are all wrapped up into one post.  I’m calling it a dose of chic. Hmm, where do I start??

CHIC COLLABORATION…

I am uber excited that a new collaboration was announced yesterday. Seems the chic french designer, Isabel Marant is going to be doing a chic collection this Fall 2014 for H&M. Soo can’t wait! You know,  the wedge sneaker lady, that ankle cowboy boot you are wearing? Also Marant. H&M has done some stellar collaborations {Lanvin! Stella McCartney!} and this will surely not disappoint. Those dang Parisians really have “it” and Isabel Marant is the ruling queen of Parisian chic. Click here for the official press release. Nov. 14th folks, mark your calendars. Now.

GLAMPING…

Can any of you remember when you first heard this term? I was watching some reality tv, I think it was the O.C Housewives when I was first introduced to this term. LOL. Love it. Its camping ‘sort of’ but the kind that comes with chilled wine, gourmet cheese, and no threat of bears. Camping my style. I received an online magazine in my inbox yesterday called DuJour and now I am craving the idea of going glamping, in NYC no less. Check out the new package being offered at AKA Hotel that was highlighted in DuJour…

Sign me up for the “Bedroom Under the Stars” package, will ya? A 1,000 square foot terrace, wood burning fireplace, one hour couples’ massage, al fresco dining from the fab restaurant Quality Meats, a plasma TV, private music performance, midnight snacks…c’mon, this is some amazing stuff. What will they think of next?

SJP IS BRINGING IT…

to Nordstrom. Yep, Sarah Jessica Parker is taking all of her show knowledge and experience {all those 18 hour work days in heels, ouch!} and making it happen. She has teamed up with George Malkemus, CEO of Manolo Blahnik, to bring us a fab line of shoes, bags and trench coats bearing the name, SJP. Click here for more scoop straight from the Nordstrom blog.  2014 is going to be a good year. As Carrie Bradshaw said best, “Men I may not know, but shoes, shoes I know.”

Some foreshadowing maybe? image via 

SHIT BLOGGERS WEAR…

This just cracks me up, an entire Tumblr account dedicated to this very subject. The sketches are beyond and well, I gotta say, the stuff that is highlighted is 100% dead on. I must meet the woman behind this, Cecilia. Hysterical idea. If you like it, you should begin to follow. Here is one sketch from Shit Bloggers Wear…

PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING DESIGNED BY MADELINE WEINRIB…

I bow down. Her designs are simply fantastic. I have a Madeline Weinrib cotton rug in my foyer and well I smile every time I walk into my home. It is so colorful and chic. I wanted to die when I walked into her shop which is inside ABC Carpet & Home in NYC. The rugs are so fab and quite reasonable in cotton. Another plus, they are reversible.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, OSBORNE & LITTLE WALLPAPER…

I am more than obsessed with this Minaret wallpaper from Osborne & Little. It was featured in the latest issue of Lonny Mag. This office just so happens to be the work of the ridiculously talented designer and owner of the Atlanta shop Pieces, Lee Kleinhelter. All I can say is OMG!

Have you seen something fabulous and inspiring lately? Would love to hear all about it. Maybe I can feature it on my next installment of A Dose of Chic. Just comment below or send me an email. So CHIC!
