An incredibly chic & stylish Parisian apartment

In honor of today's Parisian inspired gift guide, I wanted to share one of my absolute favorite Parisian apartments. The herringbone floors, marble fireplace, grand moldings and exquisite details. My most favorite part about this apartment is the corner of books that resembles a library. This feels so very right to me, its just how I would be. I can never get enough books in my life. 

Which inspired me to think of another fabulous gift for all my book lovers. The TASCHEN acrylic book stand. I can't tell you how many chic apartments I have seen with an open book on the coffee table. It's such a cool accent to have in any home and makes a perfect under $50 gift. 

Now back to this dreamy space. The owner is a chic gal, who created Plume Voyage Magazine, a must read for any girl who loves Paris. I would absolutely love living in this incredibly chic space.

Hollywood in Houston: Renea Abbot's glamorous home

Probably one of my favorite things about Fall are the magazines. For some reason, they are just better. Loaded with color, bold images and absolute glamour. The other day I was flipping through the latest issue of a Paper City Magazine. I always love local modern design mags in every city. I was floored by the spread of Shabby Slips owner, Renea Abbot and her new Houston home. 

Obviously right up my alley with white, black and pops of gold throughout the home. Shall I not forget to mention animal print? I just adore her and her fabulous style. You can see some pics from my trips to her fabulous boutique here and here. 

Take a peek inside the rest of her home. . .
