Christmas inspiration {in the pink}

I don't even know where to start with this Christmas dining room set up by Rebecca Notkin, a Danish jewelry designer. It's just way too fun + whimsical. I love stuff like this. As we know, I have so been digging emerald in all of its gorgeous glory. I'm really loving it here with the soft pink walls + black high gloss pieces. That dining room table is such gorgeousness, the shape is so very chic. Let me not forget to give props to the ceiling + that gorgeous chandelier.

I think I am in love with those green crystal glasses. Now this is a room I could entertain in.

This is my last Friday in the city before I head back to Austin, Texas. I'll be spending a few months {& the harsh NY winter} down there. While I was there visiting family in August, a few opportunities were brought to me that I had to seriously consider. After thinking about how much I love being around my big crazy family & adorable grandmother, I knew I could not pass up this chance. I've got a busy few months hitting the ground. I'll be running back and forth between Austin & Dallas all the time and will appreciate all the feedback & support you guys give as my blog becomes flooded with ideas and inspiration going on in my head.

Yes, I'm taking it to Texas.

I grew up in Austin, so I know it pretty well but I know its changed so much. For my lovely people in Austin & Dallas, I can't wait to meet you. If you have any recommendations for me, I would LOVE to hear! Places to shop, sources to know, great restaurants, anything with cool design, chic hotels, anyone you think I should know, where to get some fab cowboy boots, etc. As always, in advance, thank you for all the love & support you guys ALWAYS give. I continue to live out my dream job because of you! Mwah!

I'm so inspired by this home office decorated by Carlos Aparicio, I can't wait to get things chic in my Austin office!
