"Crossing too many t's and dotting too many i's make a room look overdone and tiresome. One should create something that fires the imagination without overemphasis." -Nancy Lancaster
Gettin' Tibi With It
Did you know Tibi designer Amy Smilovic's got a blog now? She's taking to it quite well -- posting pictures, things she's obsessing over in her unique illustrative style, and best of all, excerpts from her sketch book. I'd totally frame little miss MacBook up there! It's a must read. Check it out here.

One Last Bit of white before Labor Day... loving this handsome unisex bag from BillyKirk. Two handsome guys with Southern roots churning out quality goods? Sign me up.
My Other Bag is Chanel
Jessica Kagan Cushman wants everyone in on the joke. Labels on the inside of her bags read "Wit. Wisdom. Serious Fun." I think that about sums it up, don't you? Bags available at ChickDowntown (40% off with code FALL40 right now!) And I'm still jonesing for one of her skull necklaces...
Dust off your Library Card...
Cool bookcase courtesy of i suwanee... matter of fact, she has lots of cool bookcases...
Unlike your local public, our Library requires no membership, just an enthusiasm for great books. Part book club, part summer reading list, and part who's who, The Library includes not only picks from The Love List girls, but news on new design tomes, book-related quirkiness, and even lists of favorites from tastemakers like Windsor Smith and Jules Reid. So, when was the last time you went to The Library? Maybe it's time you checked out ours... www.thelovelistlibrary.net
Currently Digging: Mark Shaw
Before there was papparazzi waiting outside gas stations to take pictures of celebrities and photographers flooding the backstage of runway shows, there was Mark Shaw.
Unlike many photographers today, Mark developed relationships with his subjects that turned into friendships -- why I think his photographs are so telling. From the intimate photographs of Jacqueline Kenedy with her children to the picture of Coco Chanel celebrating backstage at one of her fashion shows, I feel like I've learned something after viewing Mark's pictures because the subjects appear to let their guard down in his presence.

You may recognize his name as the unofficial family photographer of the Kennedy's, but he also shot Vanity Fair's lingerie advertising campaign, 27 covers for LIFE, backstage at Pierre Balmain, portraits of Pablo Picasso, Grace Kelly, Yves St. Laurent and so much more. He's definitely inspiried me to use my new camera more frequently than I had planned to, especially around my family and friends. -Mary Mentz
