Alice Gao has flawless personal style and it extends to her beautiful home in New York.

Victoria Will's tintypes from Sundance are stunning.

Madewell has some gorgeous new arrivals for Spring.

Speaking of clothing, Madelynn of Wide Eyed Legless has had a great series about finding your personal style and simplifying your wardrobe over the past few weeks.

Two friday roundups and no other posts in between? Yeah, I know. I actually have the legitimate excuse that it has been a very, very long week. Monday morning started with an awful head cold, and when I woke up finally able to breathe out of my nose on Wednesday morning, I also woke up to no electricity. The lovely ice storm that hit the northeast on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning left us folks in Central PA with downed trees and power lines, and therefore, no power. Being that it was less than 30 degrees outside, my dude and I had to decide what time we give up on getting our power back and try to find a hotel before they were all booked up by the 50,000 other people in our county (yes, county) who had no power. Luckily we got a room, and it's good that we did because we didn't end up with power back until 3:30 pm on Thursday. Which brings me to today, when I have never been so thankful for heat and power, and I just want to look at at happy pretty things. So here are some of those aforementioned happy pretty things.

The new Ace & Jig collection is basically all I want to wear this spring. Send it all my way please.

A new, very Sea Change-y, song from Beck. I approve. 

This piece by Bruce Yan definitely made me smile when I saw it on my tumblr dashboard the other day. Anything Miyazaki related totally wins me over.

Apparently this beautiful home made its way to the internet last fall, but I'm just now stumbling upon it. It's a little industrial for my taste, but the bright, open rooms, white furnishings, and greenery are all right up my alley.

Miss Moss now has a tumblr, Mrs Vrs, that is chock full of fashiony goodness. Diana has such an amazing eye for style that I find myself clicking those little tumblr hearts on every single post.

Even though I fear that this is a blog that is slowly becoming dedicated solely to Annie Clark, I couldn't help but post the new St. Vincent music video for the first single from her forthcoming self-titled album. The David Byrne influence seems to be even more emphasized in this video with its geometric shapes, bold colors, and structured costumes. Have I mentioned how excited I am for the new album?

Stevan Alan + West Elm = Heaven. I really wish I needed a new duvet cover. I really, really wish I did...

The woman can just do no wrong. I'm really liking the David Byrne & Bowie sounds to this track. And yes, she is just barely moving in this video/photo. It's fairly unsettling for some reason.

Alison Allen's kitchen makeover on Design Sponge is pretty darn near perfect.
