Gwyneth Paltrow is Modern & Preppy for Swedish Brand Lindex

One of my favorite actresses is now a style icon, and I'm loving her 

chic/casual, modern/preppy style right now!

Gwyneth Paltrow is involved in the new spring 

"Modern Preppy" line for a Swedish Company called Lindex.

They explain that the inspiration for this new fresh spring line is from the sporty, relaxed lifestyle that is characteristic of the USA"s East Coast gems, such as Long Island and the Hamptons...

but they've added a certain Scandinavian twist.  

They've added sequins, bright colors, gold buttons, and stripes galore!

Personally, I'm loving the colors & combinations, and think Gwyneth is a perfect model 

to represent their fantastic spring clothing line! 

***in my mind I'm imagining that I could wear this selection of clothing while I spend my 

summer decorating my amazing beach house in the Hamptons this summer. 

I can see it now... 

a little tennis in the early morning, golf late morning, lunch at the beach club, a lovely beach read 

while I watch the children frolic in the ocean waves in the afternoon, and maybe flip through

 one of my Decor magazines while I sip some of my Passion Tea lemonade on the 

porch in the late afternoon. Relax time snuggling in the hammock with the kiddos.

At night I would love to host a BBQ with friends and stay up laughing and 

playing games until late.Gosh it sounds like a dream... 

OH! it is a dream!!! And a good one too! 

These outfits would fit in quite nicely to my lifestyle in my imaginary beach house... 

then again, maybe I wouldn't choose the Hamptons. Actually, I would choose a place on

 Duck Beach, NC or Hilton Head, SC.

There. The dream is a little better. huh... I could really have fun planning this. 

See what the power of fashion can do! Right now Lindex has triggered some serious 

"summer dreaming."

While my reality is quite different, it's always nice to have an imagination, right?! Ha!

So, not only is Gwyneth modeling for Lindex, but not too long ago she put on her

GOOP site some fashion ideas that she modeled for Net-A-Porter.

Tablescapes: Gwyneth Paltrow + Remodelista & Lunch in London

This is long overdue, but considering that it still feels like 

early spring in these-here-parts, 

I feel that I can still post an Easter-ish post... ahhemm, especially this one. 

I meant to post this last month, but my month got away from me. 

After you take a lookie at these gorgeous photos, 

you'll see why I couldn't resist to still post.

This tablescapes series with Gwyneth Paltrow is from Remodelista. 

They collaborated on a spring table setting in London. The concept? 

A fresh take on traditional, with a palette of white, pale pink, lilac, robin's egg blue, 

and a bit of black here and there. 

Sources for the beautiful tablescape are found on Remodelista.

Photographed by Simon Bevan for Remodelista.

Love this arrangement with white English blossom branches 

and handmade egg ornaments.

Notice the copy of My Father's Daughter  on the table?

Just got Gwyneth's new cookbook and looking forward to 

trying some of her fabulous recipes.

I would love to have an Easter Lunch at this table. 

I love how the look is sophisticated yet casual.

I also think Gwyneth looks amazing as always. 

Note: This entire shoot makes me just laugh at how understated my meals are. 

Ha! I'll work on that one. ;)

PS: as I'm writing, I'm catching up on my DVR Oprah shows... crying! 

So grateful for the empowering and uplifting woman that she is!

Wondering what will we do without her and hoping that more amazing women 

with step up and share and influence.
