Black + Gold: Inspired by Kelly Wearstler

Just the other day, someone asked me what is my favorite color of the rainbow and I had to take a moment to think about it. Then I realized that my favorite colors aren't actually colors, they are like "non rainbow" colors. Black, gold, white, grey. I'm obsessed. Furthermore, my homes have always turned out to be more rich in color and black and gold is a look I will never tire of. It's so very Egyptian and I am kind of obsessed with all things Egypt. Gold is just so glam and looks good with everything and black, well black is just so chic. 

It all started with this glam KW ice bucket with gold handles. GLAM! I seriously need this Golden State of Mind Tee. Black + gold wine goblets would look absolutely stunning on my dining table.  I also believe this Titus faux skin coffee table would be SUCH a stunner in my space.  I have always wanted a Diptyque electric diffuser. It's gorgeous and I hear it makes your entire home smell ridiculously good! How chic are these black and gold bangles? These black and gold bins would look so chic as planters on my patio, especially now that outdoor party weather is approaching. I love the packaging of Oribe sprays, the texturizing one is my favorite because it gives my hair some volume after I blow dry. I also like the beach waves one. A black and gold Michael Kors watch is exactly what my little wrist needs right now.  These Jonathan Adler Black Pagoda lamps are out of stock online but I finally found a source! Gosh they are so glam. I've been missing Henri Bendel's lately and I love this glam HB tote.

After doing some shopping + sourcing for more black and gold, I started to find some of my favorite Kelly Wearstler interiors that I have always adored in black and gold. She has always been a muse of mine and has always done such magical things with black and gold and I have been of fan of her since day 1. Through the years she has done such good work with the combination.

Now this is black and yellow, but a very golden hue of yellow. I just love this bath. I also love a white toilet with a black toilet seat. So chic.

I just love her heads and all of her tableware and china.

Entertaining inspiration [my favorites from instagram]

As we prepare to head into the weekend, I want to get my space prepared for a bit of entertaining. Setting up a dynamic tabletop is essential on the weekends in my home. You've got to be prepared for any impromptu dinner party. I also find that if you set it up for a little party, you will magically just attract friends and family who want to join in on the fun. Who wouldn't want to just hang out in a gorgeously styled space like this. I would be saying "break open the bubbly"!

One of my favorite instagram accounts to follow is @estherandsasha , she sets up some of the most fun, festive and glamorous table looks. She is based in Miami and I just dig her vibe. I can't currently afford the amazing Hermes and designer china she has, but usually HomeGoods has pretty collections with similar looks. Also, I like to search through Antique malls for gorgeous collections that when styled right, could be absolutely glamorous in a modern table mix. 

I also love to collect vintage glassware. I have so much of it, my cabinets have no room for anything else. I'm currently searching for a crystal ice bucket outfitted in gold hardware. 

Another inspiring instagram I like to follow is @luxereportdesigns . These gals are so sweet and so stylish. I love what they pull together for entertaining style. They are also from South Florida, I'm feeling all of these SoFl gals. Maybe that will be my next move. Ha! Just kidding mom. 

The weather in Dallas is warm and lovely so I am inspired to get some outdoor entertaining on, too. Here are a few things I'm currently wanting to get my hands on....
