The Art of Living: I am woman!

I don't know what it is right now but I am completely attuned to the art in the world.
I am drawn to extremely feminine art...especially nude female portraits and photography.
There is something very mysterious and romantic about women in art, I am often drawn to the story behind the piece the most. Who the woman in the photo is and what her life was like at that moment.
I love being a woman and I love feeling feminine and art like this is just so beautiful!





i've got NY on my mind...

Today all I can think about is NYC and I have fallen in love with this adorable Hamptons hideaway.
Check out this adorable apartment with brightly colored walls, fantastic art and great furniture.
This kitchen is so fabulous, I would love to entertain an outdoor dinner party here.
Lillian Bakhash's home is featured in NY Times house + garden section...there are more pictures of the modern and playful pad, enjoy!

secret of domestic bliss #28...art in the bedroom

There is something magical + meaningful about the art placed in a bedroom.
Being that the bedroom is the most intimate and personal room in a home, the art placed on the walls should contain a sentimental or emotional attachment.
I am always fascinated by the art people choose. I feel like its sort of a window to their heart.
Choosing the right art to make your bedroom beautiful is not about rules or being too matchy-matchy...
its all about being you and bringing what you love to your private space.

The Decorista: What's on 7.17.10




  • Thanks to my girl Jen, I am now obsessed with the site Deco My Place. Where people post pics of their homes for everyone else to enjoy. It's so addicting. I have been at it all day long.
  • I really never can get enough of office spaces...this amazing photography shows the essence of what I love the best, a girl and her working space.
  • I think I have a new love for Barbie art. Barbie is so chic and cool. I am totally into her.
  • I am so into OPI's Coney Island Cotton Candy nailpolish. So chic and perfect for this summer!
  • I am so beyond excited for Christina Aguilera's new album Bionic to come out.  I absolutely love her voice!

  • I don't know why but I absolutely adore this room in this book. Such a great shot!
