Marlien Rentmeester is the west coast editor of Lucky Magazine. She also writes one of my favorite blogs, Le Catch, an amazing fashion site that shares how to mix high and low pieces. I especially love that she shares several times a week an ‘it’ item – a cheap and chic piece in the online shopping carts of all the fashionistas Marlien works with.
One tip from Le Catch – if you’re having a hard time choosing an outfit, start with an accessory (like a necklace or a pair of heels) you feel like wearing and then work backwards to build your outfit. So clever!
It probably seems intuitive that Marlien’s home is beyond gorgeous. She worked closely with her friend, designer Hillary Thomas, to decorate her home which has been shot for many publications (including Lonny here). These are a few of my favorite images of her spaces.
The majority of her furniture and accessories were purchased in a whirlwind shopping spree with Hillary to the Dixie Highway in Florida. I am DYING to go myself this summer!
Hi Jenny-
I have been haunting Dixie Highway for years, ever since I was a teenager, and you would just love it! Imagine the Chelsea Flea market rolled out over blocks and blocks – that gives a good sense of it! Anyway, if you want more info, I have an old post on it…

I just read your write up, Jacqueline…nice job! Dixie rocks, I live here and stalk it too. However, there aren't many secret, steal of a deal places there anymore. It's pricey!
Circa Who always has amazing pieces (they are much further up in Northwood) like the ones in this post…and one of the girls has now spun off on her own- Palm Beach Regency. On facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Palm-Beach-Regency/264768203584567
