Check out the latest, genius furniture design from Restoration Hardware’s new Artisan collection: part classic leather steamer truck, part gorgeous home-office, the Mayfair Trunk Secretary has a very Queen Elizabeth 2 vibe to it. We love the worn leather sides, linen-covered filing cabinets and antiqued metal hardware. If you don’t have room for a larger-than-life steamer trunk in your apartment, look for vintage leather suitcases on Ebay. Stack the cases as a side table and use as hidden storage for stationary and files (inset).

Michelle Obama Gets Graphic

Michelle Obama knows the key to keeping her professional wardrobe looking fresh—adding unexpected styles and trends into her repertoire! Her latest injection? Graphic prints courtesy of Diane von Furstenberg. The First Lady wore a black and white graphic print skirt when she spoke at the White House. She kept the trendy skirt chic by pairing it with a classic white shirt and cardigan—and her signature waist-defining belt of course!

Spring Runway Trend to Try Now: Metallic Sequins

Sep 23, 2009 @ 11:45 am

Burberry Prorsum‘s runway show was all glitz and glam, in part due to the star-studded front row, but mostly because it featured one of our favorite trends: metallic sequins! Even Emma Watson—who is stars in the label’s ad campaign—worked some major sparkle at the show in a gold sequin minidress. But don’t save your sequins for the holidays; wear a sparkly jacket now with jeans and sleek boots for a glamorous fall look.
