To The Tens hearts Jenna Lyons

Jenna Lyons, creative director at J.Crew and all-around genius was named the President of J.Crew yesterday (not to fear she will also remain Creative Director). Fashionista posted a list of the 5 reasons Jenna is where she is today that you should check out if you have a chance.

Her Brooklyn townhouse was featured in Living etc. (see my earlier post if you haven't already!) and is pretty awesome...

Living etc.

I stumbled upon Living etc. yesterday and immediately developed a new magazine crush. While I would not normally describe myself as someone who likes "modern" design I am loving the online features of this London based mag and will be picking up a hard copy asap! The mag launched in 1998 and livingetc.com followed in 2005. They have a large gallery of images and a very active online community where you can find tips, ask questions and follow a blog by the mag's editor. I highly recommend you check it out next time you are surfing the net. Some of my picks from their August issue gallery are below:

*Great mix of pattern and color

Great rug, wall coverings and pillows tie this nook together.

What little girl wouldn't want to curl up here!

I am a sucker for library ladders and bookcase walls...

*All images are of a Melbourne warehouse by Diane Bergeron

*Love the simplicity and clean lines in this London apartment 

*Fun pops of turquoise in a LA kitchen
