There’s a special place in my heart for any room that manages to rely on neutrals without being boring, use florals without being overly feminine, and mix prints without screaming ‘eclectic’.  The bedroom of Lonny Editor in Chief Michelle Adams (featured in this month’s Lonny Magazine) does all this and then some.  It’s the perfect mix of glamour (helloo leopard x-benches) and ingenuity (she made her own canopy bed using industrial piping) and therefore a natural for my first installment of “How to Ware It” – a series converting a great room into a great outfit.

The image on the right stopped me in my Pinterest tracks today and made me (if possible) even more exited for my upcoming stay at The Saguaro Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Color drenched and with it’s own in-house whiskey bar; the only thing better would be if I had that rainbow hued dress to wear on my visit.  (I’ll post my own pictures next month!)

With all the attention on the London Olympics, I’ve almost failed to notice any other big news happenings this month, including NASA’s capture of the first ever full color photos of Mars (as seen above, courtesy of their launch of ‘Curiosity’).  In honor, a round up of a few celestial inspired goodies.

A little playlist to match the beat of hot city streets.

Blame it on Anne Hathaway’s Cat Woman, or 3.1 Philip Lim’s Fall collection (a nod to Marvel) but I predict this Fall it’s going to be all about the modern super hero.  Dress the part with simple standouts like a sleek red dress, geometric statement necklace and cheeky black and white accessories.
