10 things that rocked my world this week. Blissful Living at Twyla Austin

1. This week pretty much had one very large highlight that I can't get over. I had my first book signing event and it happened to be on my birthday. It came together so beautifully and I feel so full of love from the richness of the experience. 

2. I was super honored that Twyla, my new art shopping obsession, hosted my party at their new pop up gallery in Austin. Everything about this brand spoke to my brand and my book. Of course the black wall and this little gallery vignette was right up my alley. 

The best part about the Twyla art experience is that the art buying experience makes you feel special and luxurious. This is the way I will encourage ALL of my clients to buy art. If you haven't heard of them, I suggest checking out their art. Showrooms coming soon to LA and NYC. . .designers, take note of this brand and get in on the trade program now! 

3. I was mesmerized by the artwork in the gallery but mostly I was in love with the colorful plush Moroccan rugs. 

4. Along with champagne, I had the most incredible smelling white flowers and my favorite Diptyque candle, Oud. It's the most intoxicating scent. 

5. Austin is my home town, so it was kind of surreal having this experience with my friends, family and favorite people in the design industry. I loved sharing my book with the people I love the most. 

6. People really showed up and showed out. The black and white stripes seemed to be a popular uniform. Of course I loved that. 

7. A HUGE thank you to my best friends, designers in Austin and my family for supporting me! HEART YOU SO MUCH!!!! 

8. Also, a very big shout out to all you girls sharing your home photos of your Blissful Living book sets. I love these pictures, they make my heart so happy! This photo that YouTube blogger Sarah Grace Glam styled up is so glam. 

9. I also loved this shot by Australian illustrator @patriziaterranova as the book sits on her desk. I just love that my book made it all the way down under. yay! 

10. The final highlight of this week is the new issue of ISTA MAGAZINE. It's quite possibly my favorite issue yet. 

10 things that rocked my world. 12.17.16

1. I can not even describe the feeling of overwhelming joy that comes from creating a book. Blissful Living book is finally here and I am so excited to share it with all of you. Here is a little peek at the inside. Packing up these sweet little book sets is so much fun. How cute are the matches?

2. The matches are a faux snake skin black and the hint of gold foil in the printing. I just think they are so pretty. I wanted to create something to enhance the book reading experience for you. I love lighting candles for basically everything I do and I wanted to encourage you to light a candle, have a glass of your favorite beverage and read the book. So that its a complete experience for you. This is Blissful Living.

3. This is the lucite box I have with matches in my home. I've collected matches from all of my favorite experiences. Dinners, trips, shops, anywhere that I have had an incredible memory. The matches just bring me such happiness. So this is what inspired the matches I made for the book. 

4. Wanted to give you another little sneak peek inside the book because I am thrilled to share with you my illustrator Wenna Prive. She went above and beyond and created the most beautiful drawings for me. My book is filled with them and I am just so absolutely in love! I just know you will love them too. 

5. While out holiday shopping I popped over to Chanel and fell in love with the decor on the Christmas tree. All white with pops of black, gold and champagne colors. It's beautiful. The lions head was such a special touch, no? Want to give a beautiful gift? See my domestic bliss gift ideas here. 

6. Also, the print issues of ISTA magazine arrived. So cool to see them printed out in my hands. 

7. I've been all eyes on office spaces lately. Fell in love with this chic boutique office set up. 

8. I saw this bathroom online the other day and almost fell over. This is exactly how I need my bathroom set up to be. Total blissful living. 

9. We all know I love crystals and I have been pulling inspiration for my book signings. This beautiful white crystal tablescape has totally inspired me. 

10. I think its so important that we not try to tear each other down but build each other up. So we can all become the best versions of ourselves, no?
