Important message for Women to teach our Daughters

Sheryl Sandburg is the COO of Facebook. This is the part of a speech she gave at the TED conference, about women in the workforce. It's an important message for all of us to think about whether we are in the workforce, or if we are at home raising the future workforce.

From Baby to Mama . . .

So More-Stylish-Sister has a nursery in her house that she is in the
 process of converting over to a room for herself.

She doesn't need any help decorating her beautiful home -
But what kind of sister would I be if I didn't barge my nose in to her bizness.

 

All of us sisters are huge Mary McDonald fans.

Lish posted this previously and I'm going to use it as a jumping off point.

I'm imagining the room as a sanctuary and a mix between dressing room/office.

She can fill it with all her favorite things

The room is small and currently in a neutral cream color.

I would add pops of color and texture.

I'd copy that wall of photos with

Mark Shaw vintage fashion prints to do up the one wall in the room.

Here are some of my favorites:

The first couple are shot in 1954 backstage at a Pierre Balmain fashion show.

These I love for the pops of color.

And these I just love.

I'd put a big wing chair on casters too.

This would be the only chair in the room.

Strange I know but this room is just hers to relax and unwind.

No need for visitors.

The chair could then be pulled up to the desk on the wall beneath the window

but also kept in a cozy corner to sit and read.

I heart this table.

But I'd take some of the stuff off of it.

I'd put it in the corner next to the chair.

Windsor Smith used one of the prints in her entrance.

I'd mimic this idea with a table below all our Mark Shaw photos.

On it I would have small mirrored trays with jewelry

and maybe some of her fabulous bags.

I'd put one huge chandelier in the room as well.

I adore this.

More substantial than girly.

For her birthday this year her girlfriends threw her a brunch.

The table was set with shoes and flowers.

I'd do that on the bookshelves with her photos.

From here I would tell her to sit back and relax.

Maybe give a call to Tizzy or Lish.

 

Tinsel that . . .

I think my favorite part is the herd of reindeer.

I'm not saying . . .

Holla!

Thanks Carter.

Turn it out . . .

Has anyone else seen this?

Can you imagine this being your family Christmas card?

I'm just trying to imagine how we would sell this to Husband.

Ah yeah, so my mom wants you to put on a pin-striped suit and look fierce for the Christmas card.

And yes, they are looking fierce.

The baby absolutely kills me.

He should be the whole card.

But wait I have more.

Last years is nice and so normal.

There was a family wedding and everyone's arms around each other.

(except Kim who is still posing)

Minus Ryan Seacrest.

Don't know why he's in it.

2008

Selling it hard again.

They had to have had a tv show at this point, right?

Poor Rob.

I mean we know the girls love to dress up.

But this is by far the piece-de-resistance.

They've always worked this hard for it.

The leather, the back drop, the awesomeness.

The whole family needs the t-shirt I just saw at Target.

Proud to be Awesome.

A couple reasons not to be sooooo blue

Couldn't you just sleep, lounge, day dream, snuggle, and maybe get some sexy time in this blue heaven of a bedroom.



Could you D-I-E for this bathroom. The mix of modern and preppy. Hello gingham banquette in a bathroom...What....BRILLIANT



I mean if you have to be a boring accountant (like me) isn't this the only place you would want to do it in. Oh and I can tell it's an accountants office because of the container full of pencils on the white table inbetween the wingback chairs, duh!

Maybe I'm a little obsessed . . .

Loving all yellow dresses.

Thank you, Ms. Stefani.
