Modern Manners

I’m pretty sure I have mentioned here before, that I've had a girl crush on Liv Tyler for sometime. Well…if you haven’t heard the news yet, she just released her first book in collaboration with her chic grandmother Dorothea Johnson. It is called Modern Manners, and it is a perfect guide for the modern day lady, who likes to keep her bygone etiquette in tact.

If that’s not enough to make you giddy, there is also a style guide put together by Lovely Liv herself, currently up on the One Kings Lane site. I just love all of her picks and am happy to say, that we share a similar decorating aesthetic, and a love for tid-bits of eclectic- one of a kind- vintage pieces spread throughout the home.

Here are just a few of my favorite things from the style guide selections….

equestrian bar tools | mod lighter | portrait | cantilever chair | murano ashtray | malachite paperweight | vanity mirror | geometric abstract | entry table | playboy catch all | blue lacquer boxes | brass peacock letter opener

And the book is on it’s way….

Janie Bryant’s Los Feliz Home

Since tonight is the Season 6 premiere of Mad Men (I can’t wait!). I thought this post was the most appropriate to share today! Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant’s home is just as lovely as her eye for style! Her impeccable taste for vintage clothing is a perfect match to what I would imagine her decorating style and eye for lovely vintage touches in her home and collections would be.

Elle Decor recently shot her Los Feliz home in Los Angeles, California. It is just divine.

Cheers to the premiere of Mad Men, Season 6 tonight!
