<p>Jon says, "The first image of that cozy sweater really set the tone for this board. There's a nod to traditional elements but totally re-interpreted in a bright modern way. I especially love all the pops of color and graphic motifs. Overall, I think Dana's vision is playful, stylish, warm, and a whole lot of fun- just what I feel a Modern Thanksgiving should be!"</p>

      <link>http://www.dwellstudio.com/blog/flashes-of-gold-oscar-pr-girl/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We've been obsessing over <a href="http://oscarprgirl.tumblr.com/" target="_blank" title="oscarprgirl">Oscar PR Girl's chic musings</a> for years. Besides being a digital strategy inspiration, her eye for design is equally clever and sharp. We adore her simply streamlined <a href="http://pinterest.com/oscarprgirl/" target="_blank" titile="pinterest">Pinterest</a>, outfitted with her discerning restraint. She's careful to only post images that are acutely inline with her divine aesthetic. This week our team has been drooling over her <a href="http://pinterest.com/oscarprgirl/apt/" target="_blank" title="pinterest">apt. board</a>. With the holiday season approaching, thoughts of a fashion-driven holiday palette are on our minds here at <a href="http://www.dwellstudio.com/">DwellStudio</a> that means bits of baroque detailing, flashes of gilded tones and the flicker of monochromatic metallics...  From gold piping in an entryway to chandeliers at the <a href="http://www.crillon.com/" target="_blank" title="crillon">Hôtel de Crillon</a>, we're so inspired by <a href="http://pinterest.com/oscarprgirl/" target="_blank" titile="pinterest">Oscar PR Girl on Pinterest</a>.

      <title><![CDATA[Chic Kids Rooms with Lauren Santo Domingo]]></title>
      <link>http://www.dwellstudio.com/blog/chic-kids-rooms-with-lsd/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Here at <a href="http://www.dwellstudio.com/">DwellStudio</a> we love the idea of extending grown-up taste into the kids room. Our philosophy on kids decor is that the pint-sized abode should reflect your family's personal style, whether its chic, eclectic, edgy or minimal. Our favorite tips for extending sophisticated style into the kiddos space: choose timeless furniture, pieces with longevity and don't shy away from hanging modern artwork or painting the walls in darker hues (muted tones can be soothing for the little ones sleep cycle). Enter contributing editor of <a href="http://www.vogue.com/" target="_blank" title="vogue"><em>Vogue</em></a> and co-founder of <a href="http://modaoperandi.com/" target="_blank" title="moda">Moda Operandi</a> Lauren Santo Domingo—this tastemaker's <a href="http://pinterest.com/thelsd/" traget="_blank" title="pinterest">Pinterest</a> is filled to the hilt with inspiring images.

      <title><![CDATA[Style/Squared - Meet Rachael]]></title>
      <link>http://www.dwellstudio.com/blog/style-squared-meet-rachael/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Earlier today we introduced you to our <a href="http://www.dwellstudio.com/blog/style-squared-meet-molly" target="_blank" title="molly">PR-gal Molly</a>. The next rad mom we're featuring as a part of our <a href="http://www.dwellstudio.com/stylesquared-contest" target="_blank" title="stylesquared">Style/Squared</a> contest over on <a href="http://pinterest.com/dwellstudio/" target="_blank" title="pinterest">Pinterest</a> is <a href="http://hatchcollection.com/" target="_blank" title="hatch">HATCH Collection's</a> Rachael Bergstein. She's an Art Director for HATCH, one of her favorite clients (especially right now!) and we couldn't wait to get all her chic little secrets on how she keeps it cool in the city while juggling her career, toddler and pregnancy! 

<img src="http://www.dwellstudio.com/media/wysiwyg/Blog_RachaelProfileV2.jpg" alt="" />
<p>Rachael is wearing <a href="http://hatchcollection.com/shop/product/the-tank-dress/" target="_blank" title="tankdress">The Tank Dress</a> in cobalt silk from <a href="http://hatchcollection.com/" target="_blank" title="hatch">HATCH Collection</a>.</p><br />

<p><b>How do you balance your work, personal and family lives?</b></p>
<p>It's tough sometimes, but never boring. It begins early, and there isn't much sitting around. But I love it, and it keeps me creative and on my toes. I also have an incredible nanny, and a wonderful husband!</p><br />

<p><b>Where are you from originally?</b></p>
<p>Pound Ridge, New York</p><br />

<p><b>Where do you live now?</b></p>
<p>East Village</p><br />

<p><b>Where are your favorite places to go with your kid in your neighborhood?</b></p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tompkins_Square_Park" target="_blank" title="tompkinspark">Tompkins Square Park</a>, the soccer field across from my studio.</p><br />

<p><b>Describe your everyday style.</b></p>
<p>I like to have a balance to my look and for it to be not overly complicated, so not many patterns or frilly things. I like a little boy-meets-girl. Some punky tough-ness mixed with a little boho sometimes, or just something that can cut and balance. High meets low, always clean and modern. Plus layering on some jewelry from my friend’s line <a href="http://www.madeherthink.com/" target="_blank" title="madeherthink">Made Her Think</a> is an easy way feel edgy and chic.</p><br />

<p><b>What is your favorite part about your home?</b></p>
<p>I love my home. I'd first have to say my family is my favorite thing about my home, and that it feels like a home to us. But James (my husband) and I had a very good time decorating it. We took our time and collected things along the way. We did it together, it was very collaborative and creative.</p><br />

<p><b>What’s the most important part of designing a nursery?</b></p>
<p>I want it to be stimulating for the baby, and fun, colorful and textural. But not to feel super baby, but to have a good mix of things that make it designed well and balanced like a beautiful room that the whole family will want to be in.</p><br />

<p><b>Who is your cool style mom icon?</b></p>
<p><a href="http://www.janebirkin.net/uk/" target="_blank" title="janebirkin">Jane Birkin</a>.</p><br />

<p><b>What is the one thing <a href="http://www.dwellstudio.com/">DwellStudio</a> and <a href="http://hatchcollection.com/" target="_blank" title="hatch">HATCH</a> makes that you give to all your friends?</b></p>
<p><a href="http://www.dwellstudio.com/kids-room-decor/custom-wall-decor/animal-heads.html">The Animal Heads</a> from DwellStudio—whether you have super clean, modern, or more eclectic style these are such a great accent in any room. My go-to from HATCH is <a href="http://hatchcollection.com/shop/product/the-slouch-dress_sandalwood-silk_petite/" target="_blank" title"slouchdress">The Slouch Dress</a> or <a href="http://hatchcollection.com/shop/product/the-jumper/" target="_blank" title"jumper">The Jumper</a>. They are both so easy and so well designed, whether you are pregs or not, you look fantastic and put together as soon as you put them on!</p><br />

<p><b>Top 3 things always in your handbag?</b></p>
<p>Phone, Wallet, keys. Not very exciting…Maybe some pins for my hair.</p><br />

<p><b>Hardest part about being a working mom?</b></p>
<p>Time or lack of it. And not too much for yourself...</p><br />

<p><b>Best advice you’ve received on parenting?</b></p>
<p>Stay calm, it will pass. And teach your child nice manners.</p><br />

<p><b>Favorite kids book?</b></p> 
<p>I LOVE Herve Tullet's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Press-Here-Herve-Tullet/dp/0811879542" target="_blank" title="presshere">Press Here book</a>. It is really fun and creative. The little ones love it.</p><br />

<p><b>How about your kid’s favorite book?</b></p>
<p> We are loving <a href="http://www.seussville.com/" target="_blank" title="drseuss">Dr.Seuss</a> right now. And <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Goodnight-Construction-Sherri-Duskey-Rinker/dp/0811877825" target="_blank" title="goodnightconstructionsite">Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site</a>.<p><br />

<p><b>What beauty product can you not live without?</b></p>
<p>I love <a href="http://www.astaraskincare.com/" target="_blank" title="astara">Astara</a> facial products. I've used them for years now.</p>]]></description>

<p><img src="http://www.dwellstudio.com/media/wysiwyg/Blog_MollyProfileV4_1.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How do you balance your work, personal and family lives?</strong></p>
<p>I&rsquo;m lucky to have the BEST husband who understands that I love my job and takes over when I can&rsquo;t at home. I try not to sweat the small stuff and make life easier where I can &ndash; i.e. Going out for dinner A LOT.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Where are you from originally?</strong></p>
<p>Lawrence, KS</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Where do you live now?</strong></p>
<p>Brooklyn, NY</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Where are your favorite places to go with your kid in your neighborhood?</strong></p>
<p>I live right on the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, so I get the best of both neighborhoods. We love:</p>
<p><a title="hoteldelmano" href="http://www.hoteldelmano.com/" target="_blank">Hotel Delmano</a> for weekend late afternoons with other families.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Describe your everyday style.</strong></p>
<p>A little bohemian, a little luxe.</p>
