gift guide: the femme & her vanity

Just in time for a last minute gift idea, today I'm inspired by the bombshell and her vanity. Every girlie girl has a vanity in her home, I know I do. I have some friends who love a good beauty product and love silky robes, fancy perfumes and appreciate an expensive candle. My grandmother is one of these women, she is so fabulous. These are what I call through and through domestic goddesses. A few special things for that girl.

1. Trio of Tocca candles.

2. A Clarisonic with Kiehl's beauty product combo.

3. A set of nude Deborah Lippman polishes, perfect for any girl.

4. A chic black & white striped jonathan adler vase for flowers.

5. The most decadent body souffle you could ever have, by Laura Mericer in vanilla.

6. What would be more stylish than a Chanel book set.

7. Every gal needs her zodiac compact in gold.

8. Jo Malone candle in Peony & Blush with chic chrome details.

design details: selecting the right art for the room

Geezus. Let me start off by saying how much I adore the design skills of Aussie designer Brendan Wong. Homeboy always kills it, in fact, there are quite a few designers I have recently talked about from Australia. Fancy. Anyway, aside from the fact that the guy works with black and white walls, hello that is so my speed!, what I love most about B. Wong's designs are his art selections. Art selection is such a delicate thing. When I worked at the art gallery in beverly hills, oh how i miss those days, I learned so much about the art world and how important good selection is. Not everyone impresses me with their curating skills but B, he sure does. I love the graphic purple + white art and the way it pops in modernity on the black walls. I also adore the smoked gold, silver and marble cloud looking piece in the white living room, it steals the show. That one might be my favorite. Finally, I love the nude drawings in the dining room, they take that room next level because there is something so intimate about those drawings. It creates just the right vibe for an intimate dinner party. Well done, B.
