Wow.
I practically trembling over the excitement I feel after just finishing looking at what is going to be my new #1 source of inspiration. No longer will I need to feel the exquisite pangs of sadness when Domino no longer arrives in my mailbox, because Lonny Magazine, the online brainchild of Michelle Green (of the fabric company Rubie Green) and Patrick Cline has launched and they have outdone themselves on so many levels.  Not only are the styles and editorial concepts pure genius and very Domino-esque, the ability to "flip through pages"  and click on an item you see featured and be brought right to the website for purchase is a dream. They have a rocketing success on their hands and I'm in awe of their hard work and drive to make something so beautiful for the public to enjoy. I bow down to you this morning, Michelle and Patrick. I hope you are off celebrating in a really huge way!
Now, to get myself involved somehow.... :)
Just check out some of the images from the first issue of Lonny and try not to spend an entire hour devouring it like I just did.

Am I the last blogger out there to post about Kate Spade's new clothing line for fall? Perhaps, but I still have to add my two cents! After all, I remember my first Kate Spade bag like it was yesterday- I thought I had died and gone to fashion heaven. Steel grey and affixed with that all important black label, I fell head over heels for her at that moment of purchase 12 years ago and never stopped admiring her growing empire!
I am absolutely LOVING the Mad Men meets Audrey Hepburn meets Zooey Dechanel aesthetic of this new line. Kate has always had an incredible ability to incorporate many influences into her style to craft a luxurious but whimsically updated WASPy appearance. Stuff you can wear to the preppiest country club or coolest downtown night club and still look perfectly dressed!
Needing this little cropped jacket and yellow party dress!
These look a bit Zooey...
These a bit Anne Hathaway/Devil Wears Prada...
These very Audrey/Holly Golightly....
This is mere perfection- the classic design but with the bow detail at the back and incredibly fun lining? Get on my back, coat.
This skirt/shirt/tights combo is a killer fall night out outfit (found on Bloomingdale's with these delish heels with cheetah heels!)
Kate also always brings her visual impact to her personal spaces as well- here are a bunch of my favorite images of Kate's own homes- note the abundance of gallery style wall hangings, mixture of modern art with traditional furniture, bold color and general sense of FUN.
Kate Spade's creative director Deborah Lloyd also clearly captures the brand's sense of fun and glamour as seen here in her own home (she looks exactly like Audrey in that first pic, no?)
The New York Kate Spade store has also been revamped and I'm loving the addition of a little punch of Palm Springs to the space!!!
I could go on and on about her bags, shoes, accessories, dishes, flatware and the like, but unfortunately I have another job other than this blog! :) Viva Kate!
