Heather brings some relaxed style from overseas

by Heather Summerville

I recently spent a week in Barcelona--my first trip there--and totally fell in love with the easy-going, bohemian vibe of the city with its gaggle of scooters, maze of cobblestone streets, and, oh my goodness, the food. What I wasn't expecting, however, was the current wave of sporty-sleek fashions I saw all over the street.

Make a statement with a stylish critter or two

By Heather Summerville

I recently came across Jennifer Angus' work at the Newark Museum. Her installation, Insecta Fantasia, is made up of thousands of insects--pink grasshoppers, cicadas, weevils, and more--all pinned in perfect geometric patterns on the walls of two rooms. From far away, it looks like wallpaper that's at once beautiful and eerie. It was a truly fascinating site, especially considering if I'd run into any one of these bugs alive I would've sprinted in the opposite direction.

Heather finds three must-have decorative wall mirrors.

By Heather Summerville

For as long as I can remember, and in as many houses as I can recall, every woman in my family has hung a small wall mirror in the entryway next to their front door. My grandmother always swore it was for luck, but I suspect that the real reason was to make sure she didn't have lipstick on her teeth before she left the house.

Heather rounds up the best outdoor-furniture finds.

By Heather Summerville

For the first time in nearly a decade of living in New York my apartment has a deck--well, technically, it's a small, flat patch of roof outside my kitchen window. But any real-estate agent in New York would call it a deck, and for once I'm going to agree.

By Heather Summerville

As everyone in the Lucky office knows, I am utterly obsessed with Etsy.com--possibly unhealthily so. And here's why: You can find the coolest things for dirt cheap, like these tiny glass magnets made with decorative Japanese paper or this pretty vintage hand mirror.

Heather Summerville on the next hot summer trend.

By Heather Summerville

Crochet has always appealed to my hippie tendencies: it's romantic, it's crafty, you get the idea. But I've never considered it entirely sexy, until now. Over the past two weeks, I've been spotting crochet-back dresses everywhere--on girls at restaurants, once on the subway, and even on street-style photographer The Cobra Snake's website (see photos below).

Coming to terms with my tie-dye obsession

By Heather Summerville

A few weeks ago Emily Hsieh--the stylish woman behind Lucky's always ahead-of-the-fashion-curve Shop Girl blog--wrote about American Apparel's new tie-dye leggings, which I'd been tempted to buy numerous times, but could never follow through on. My fear was that I'm just not cool enough to pull off such a hippie-gone-rocker look.
