dreaming of new york city

I'm already envisioning the things that I am going to do this coming weekend. 
The second I arrive I will be on the streets heading to my favorite places.
Being that I am a "gallerina" in LA...I am definitely going to want to hit up some 
galleries in the big city...
Morrisson Hotel being # 1.
Here is what I am envisioning...

Don't you just love the wall colors?

spring is on its way

bring on the color!

I saw this photo today and for me...it is perfection!
The peach curtains + yellow flowers make my heart swoon.
I am obsessed right now with the colors of spring.
I love the flowers of spring. I adore the fabrics of spring.
I just love everything about spring.
It's the season where pastels make sense and that makes this 
girlie girl happier than ever!

secret of domestic bliss #3...feminine fragrance

Have you ever been to someones home and been blown away 
by how great it smells?
There is something very chic about a woman whose home smells incredible.
Friends from Paris got met started on Lampe Berger.
This is my secret weapon in making my home smell delicious.
Everyone always asks me "what is that amazing smell?
I usually just show them a candle, but in reality this lamp is the secret.
Lampe Berger has patented a lamp that burns anti-bacterial oil into the home.
It purifies the air and leaves a fragrance that lasts for hours.
There are hundreds of choices in lamps that suit your home decor and 
there are also dozens of lovely fragrances.
They can be a bit spendy, but ebay usually has some great ones for cheap.
Here are some you might like...





Can you imagine your home smelling exactly like your favorite smell?
Whatever you like, you can choose and create your own domestic bliss instantly.




keeping up with the glossies!


So usually when I buy design magazines I buy like 4-5 at a time.
Then I fly through each one, devouring the images and then I'm done.
I'm always wanting more.
For some reason, the March issue of Elle Decor has me hooked.
I can't put it down.
I especially love the room on the cover...It's the home of the executive producer of the Oprah Winfrey show. So of course Nate Berkus ended up doing the design.
The dark blue walls have me wanting to repaint my apartment.




It's incredible....so grown up. I love it. 

you are like sunshine!

Man. I really love the positivity that blogging brings to my life!
Every one of you bloggers out there are such an inspiration to me.

i have a SHELTER obsession

Everyday in the blog world, something amazing inspires me.
I am kind of freaking out over this blogger's home.
Wowzers!
Julie who writes for her design firm blog SHELTER
shared her home with the blog world yesterday.
I just can't get enough of it.

The dark walls of her office are fantastic.
She made over this hutch herself. How gorgeous?
These bay windows are my dream!
beautiful inspiration board!


I'm in love...

Valentines @ the Viceroy

Sadly, the romance and the colors of Valentine's Day are long gone.
On the other hand, spring is on it's way!
The sun was in full force this weekend ( i got a great little tan), hopefully the rain stays away!
This weekend my boyfriend and I spent a romantic weekend
in Palm Springs yet again.
This time we mixed it up + spent our weekend at the VICEROY.
{My favorite designer, Kelly Wearstler's, palm springs design.}
Amazing place. Uber romantic. Modern design. Total relaxation.
I loved every minute of it. Everywhere you look, you are inspired by design.
I wanted to take pictures of it all so I could share it with my lovely readers
but my pictures do not do it justice.
Here are some I found on various travel sites on the net.
I wish you guys could see the amazingness that this hotel is in person.







Did you guys do anything different this Valentines weekend?
