Interior Goals: the Connecticut home of Loren Ridinger

This month marks 10 years that I have been living the entrepreneurial dream. I can remember one of my very first entrepreneuress muses was Loren Ridinger. I followed her blog forever and would read all of her lady boss tips and motivational wisdom. For years, I have been inspired by her.

I recently came across some images of her family home in Greenwich, Connecticut and fell madly in love. Black walls always catch my eye. This dining room just screamed out to me….GOALS! I love a good celebrity home but something about this home seems relatable yet still very sophisticated and glamorous. If you are wondering how to pull off black walls without being too dark, this is a beautiful way to do it. We all know how I feel about living in noir.

I’ve totally had my eye on this gold bar cart for a while now. It works well with the black and white theme. The black walls above the white moldings & built ins looks so beautiful. Totally reminiscent of Donatella Versace’s home office.

Here is a shot of the family room in a dark navy blue contrasted by white molding. Again, very sophisticated and chic. The low profile sofas keep in cozy and modern. Sort of reminds me of a Ryan Korban meets Mary Macdonald look. I absolutely love it.

K, so this bedroom. Absolutely stunning. So very glamorous yet with a little bohemian thrown in. I am all about that chic mix. The Kelly Wearstler fabric on the chairs? Such a fabulous statement in this room. I especially love the KW lamps.

Yet another black fabulous bedroom….not sure which one I like more.

I just adore this other bedroom look too. The lucite and brass bed is oh so chic. I am not sure where this one is from but I found one similar I may just have to spring for.

Currently crushing on: black and white stripes

Post holiday shopping is always my favorite time of year to shop. I'm always ready to bring in the new year with a new look, new vibe, etc. I've been really into one of my old favorite patterns lately, black and white stripes. It's a classic look and just will never go out of style. Here are a few of my current picks that I want to add to my world. . .

1. This adorable striped organic baby onsie is just rocking my world right now. 

2. I am always getting asked about what planners and agendas I like. Day Designers are my favorite when it comes to spiral bound planners. 

3. I've been coveting some pajamas like this for a while now, I think I may have found the perfect pair. 

4. I so very much want these cute black and white striped secrets jars for my kitchen. 

5. I love the bohemian vibe of this striped pillow.

6. Shopping for the nursery is starting to become my obsession. This striped basket would be the best blanket storage/future toy storage piece. 

7. I just love this pretty striped pom pom throw blanket. So chic. 

8. This striped blazer is adorable too! 

I was out shopping the other day and scored this sweet little vintage blazer for $20. I am obsessed with it. Also, my current manicure is rocking my world too!
