Home imitates fashion
I am completely obsessed with the September issue of Elle Decor, which includes a look at fashion designer Nanette Lepore's home (designed by Jonathan Adler).
Twice I have visited this issue at my public library because I can't find it in any stores yet. So while searching online for images of the Nanette Lepore feature, I came across a blog that's new to me, written by two ladies brought together by a love of interior design and beautiful fabrics. Their blog is called, appropriately, Material Girls - and the duo's names (Emily and Lauren) sound strikingly similar to this blog's E and L.
So, via Material Girls, feast your eyes on some truly beautiful rooms inspired by the slightly quirky tastes of Ms. Lepore. I can't stop thinking about that peacock feather print rug anchoring the sunny, luxe parlor in the top photo.
Emily and Lauren did a fantastic job drawing connections between Lepore's home and fashion designs in this post. They also found a mass-market source for the (totally eccentric, and incredibly cool) sparkling ship chandelier shown in the photo above.

I sat down with a glass of wine and read it last night. By the time I was done there was practically nothing left I had ripped out so many pages. I *LOVED* Nanette's home!
