Roundup: 10 Charming Chesterfields
While some people refer to sofas simply as Chesterfields, the term usually refers to a sofa marked by upright, curving armrests and tufting. And while I'm not necessarily a fan of leather sofas, when leather is used on a classic Chesterfield shape, I have no complaints. Chesterfields are imbued with an antiquated elegance, even when their shape is updated by more modern designers.

You can't go wrong when you pair affordable, well-tailored clothes with the illustrious Isabeli Fontana. Uniqlo and Jil Sander did just that for the debut of their new line, +J.

Get the Look: Selina Lake Style
Interior stylist and author of Bazaar Style Selina Lake has done it again, spellbinding me with fresh photos in her portfolio. Her talent at styling everything from a mantel vignette to a tented outdoor sitting area is insurmountable, but I will take a shot at recreating one of the stunning rooms in her portfolio. I was taken by this rich living room with its chalky eggplant and gold palette and I thought you might be too, so here we go.
Home Away From Home: Chandelier Creative
Chandelier Creative is a three-year-old, full-service creative agency based in New York City with a focus on fashion, beauty, retail, travel, and luxury lifestyle brands. Among Chandelier's clients are Coca Cola, Four Seasons, Parfums Givenchy, Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Old Navy, Nanette Lepore, and W Hotels.

Is Your Local Starbucks Closing?
By now you must have heard that Starbucks is closing 600 of its stateside coffee shops. Last week Starbucks released the official list of the closing stores with a grand total of 616 closures. The closing stores are company-operated stand alone locations; no bookstore, super market, or airport Starbucks will be shuttered.
Get the Look: A Mix of Styles
This living room, from Living Etc, mixes a variety of styles in a recipe that is one part eclectic, one part modern, and one part traditional, creating a look that doesn't seem to follow trends, but is certainly ornate overall. Each piece, be it embroidered, tufted, furry, or antique, but certainly not simple, works well with the others when surrounded by the minimalist white wall. Since this image caught my eye, I figured I'd show you how to Get the Look in your own home.
