So, there is something about the glamour and the color that just gets me so. I love a space where a designer goes all out and doesn't hold back on anything.  Jamie Drake worked his color magic in the NYC designer visions show house. What I love about it is the bold colors and even bolder pieces. It's something very different, something fresh, which I have been dying for. It makes me want to paint a bunch of walls very different colors and see how they work together. I love the mix of peachy pink, greens and blues, metallics and crazy patterns. It's so very visionary.

10 things that rocked my world this week. 12.8.13

1. Pantones color of the year is radiant orchid. I am so excited to see all the cool things that go on this year with the royal color.

marc jacobs

2. Had a heart attack over Marc Jacobs new beauty collection {which you can buy here}. The nail polishes are to die for.

mirror

3. This mirror is literally one of the best I have seen in a long time. Part art sculpture, part mirror, I'm mad for it.

coach

4. Really loved working on the Coach project in NYC this week. Who doesn't just love delicious leather goods.

golden room

5. I think I have decided that I prefer big round tables as a desk/workspace as opposed to rectangular ones. I'm thinking I need this one.

sissy time

6. I brought my little sister with me to assist me on this project and she fell in love with new york city. She didn't want to leave.

taxi

7. There is nothing like New York in the fall. Cold weather, taxi cabs and christmas lights around. Love it.

pink walls

8. We hit up one of my favorite consignment shops in town and it was such a fun treat. Hot pink walls with black trim and lots and lots of designer goods. I adored this little stairway.

crystals

9. We met up with some friends at this cute little bar and I fell in love with this display of cocktails. It got me thinking how chic this look would be for a holiday party. Large + gorgeous crystal styled with candles. So chic.

dallas

10. Also, saw a sneak peek of my girlfriend, dallas shaw, and her fab dining room. Love that she took it all the way and went black everything. Be still my heart.
