10 things that rocked my world this week...August 17

1. A little behind the scenes action for you guys today. I had a blast with 

Emily

, one of my absolute favorite photographers around. She made my apartment look so amazing for our shoot this week. So beyond excited for you guys to see the final feature.

2. My living room nook. I fall a little bit more in love with it each day. All white with bits of black and gold just makes my heart soar. My

Ankasa

pillow is so gorgeous in the middle of that marshmellow sofa.

 3. A little shot from my desk. Nothing makes a desk more lovely than lavender roses. 

 4. Oh, I am so beyond excited to show off my new bedding from my newest sponsor,

Biscuit Home

. My white duvet with lavender borders, just look absolutely perfect in my bedroom.

5. This necklace. It looks stunning on, however it also looks amazing as a decor piece, too. Jewelry is everything.

 6. So are chandeliers. This one in the Gramercy Park hotel is the closest thing to jewelry if I have ever seen one. 

7. New York City. These doors. How incredible are they? 

8. All I wanted to do this week when I had a moment to myself was devour my new book,

How to Decorate

. Its so good and filled with beautiful photos. Nothing better than that.

1. I adore animal prints, in fashion and especially home decor. I love to mix them and in my living room right now is this amazing zebra rug+ these super pretty pillows. 

2. I also realize that in my life is mostly black and white. It's my absolute favorite combo.

 3. At the flower market this week, these purple beauties just stole my breath away. The color so rich + vivid.

 4. The bathrooms at Morimoto in TriBeCa are absolutely insane. I love the endless floating flowers. 

 5. I finally found the perfect bar cart art. I love the way these sexy little cheetahs look next to my cocktail area.

 6. An afternoon spent at the The Plaza Hotel is never a waste...

 7. Neither are brunches in little Parisian restaurants where we practice speaking French.

 8. Absolutely in love with my gold sconces with black candles. It's such a fun look.

9. I've been perfume shopping because I need something new. So, I was sampling the latest frangrances from Oscar de la Renta and I think mi corazon was the BEST smelling perfume I've smelled in forever! 

10. Deep and rich hues of berry and magenta just made my day brighter. This rug is bananas!
