I passed by the Knoll store this morning and saw a Saarinen Executive Chair upholstered in a rich, wintry tweed sitting in the window. Then, I got my computer up and running and saw this smart J. Crew Wool Tweed Oona Coat ($550).

This bit of training inspiration comes from jennsteria, part of RunningSugar.

I remember one of my friends calling me crazy for my whopping 3 marathon (so far) schedule for next year. How about 60 marathons in 2010?

Home is where the wild things are — just ask Urban Outfitters, which recently debuted a line of home accessories based on the movie coming out Oct. 16. I've found even more inspiration looking through the stills from director Spike Jonze's interpretation of the classic children's book.

New York Fashion Week was full of many beautiful, elegant, and inspiring looks. But I must say that the designers participating in Madrid Cibeles Fashion Week have really displayed out-of-the-box thinking and debuted some wild and funky fashions. In particular, I'm blown away by Spanish designer Francis Montesinos's Spring collection.

When I spotted this picture of director Laurent Tirard at the International Rome Film Festival, my eyes immediately wandered to the gorgeous tufted velvet cubes to the director's right. They look so luxe that I immediately wanted to add one to my own home.
Tufted velvet combines two sumptuous decorating ideas: that of tufting, which is achieved when upholsterers thread through layers of fabric and secure the ends of the thread with a knot or button, and velvet, which is one of the richest fabrics used throughout history.

New York Fashion Week is full of design inspiration from the palettes and patterns to the details and embellishments, and even the onlookers themselves. Yesterday's Badgley Mischka Spring 2010 fashion show truly won me over, though. From coral beading to ethereal white ruffles, many elements of the collection could easily translate to interior design.

I'm always on the lookout for great geeky jewelry, and now with the holidays just around the corner, I'm in need of some adorable gifts for my nieces — and maybe a few goodies for myself.
Channel your inner Princess Toadstool with these Nintendo-inspired Happy Mushroom Earrings ($10). Love 'em?

New York Fashion Week is a mecca for design enthusiasts around the world, but it's not limited to fashionistas. There's plenty of interior design inspiration to find on the catwalk, be it in a pattern, a material, a shape, or the heft of a model's bangle. Vena Cava is one of my favorites, so it's no surprise that I found lots of design inspiration from the label's 2010 Spring collection.

New York Fashion Week continues to wow with design inspiration, and Nanette Lepore's Spring 2010 show was no exception. I loved the subtle Moroccan references, as well as the bold splashes of floral prints and bright use of color. See how I translated her looks to the home design world (and when you're done, check out her amazing townhouse).
