Megan Hess’ illustrations celebrate femininity with a body of work that captures the allure of fashion, the elegance of women wearing the clothes and, at times, the striking interiors inspired by those designs. It’s no wonder that clients such as Chanel, Dior, Tiffany & Co. and Vogue have flocked to her! I’m most drawn to the illustrations rich with turquoise-blue hues: The Chic Hotelier, The Luxurious Spa and the supple Italian Riviera silk scarf.

Loving Lately

Lately, I’m loving:

  • Rifle Paper Co. phone cases. I purchased each of these on sale from Anthropologie. There aren’t many cases prettier than the gold iPhone itself, but these do the trick.
  • The killer Zoya nail polish promotion that ends tonight. You can get three bottles of polish for “free” ($12 shipping). I haven’t tried the brand before, but it seems like a good excuse to give it a whirl. I ordered Blu, Maya and Ibiza.
  • Our newly organized pantry. I know it’s such a mundane task, but organizing the shelves, tossing expired food, and discovering staples hidden in the back instantly made our kitchen feel organized. I’m loosely doing Apartment Therapy’s “January Cure” and it’s giving me a much-needed kick in the rear to get our place in order.
  • This pair of Tory Burch wedges. They’re unlike anything else I own and I’m crazy about them. They’ll definitely be my 2014 “Tax Return Splurge,” but not from the Tory Burch site where they’re listed at $325. Other retailers have them for $295. They also come in an all-black version at Bergdorf Goodman.

Even though I’ve already shed some of the holiday weight, this loose dress is still the only thing that feels comfortable. It’s just a bonus that there are cats printed all over it … which some people have mistaken for skulls. I don’t see it, but now it’s basically the dress version of a Rorschach test. Which do you see?

I didn’t intend to create an outfit when I started working on this post, but doesn’t it look like an ideal weekend ensemble? There’s a ton of interesting details on the classic pieces, but a Topshop beanie and a pair of Converse sneakers (available at Treds) keeps it playful.

1. St. James, $85 // 2. Ray-Ban, $160 // 3. Vanessa Mooney, $195 // 4. Converse, £45 // 5. Topshop, $24 // 6. Botkier, $195 // 7. Elizabeth Cole, $73 // 8. J.Crew, $98
