NYC city girl style...from Harpers Bazaar

I am just loving this Jen Brill girl and her adorable manhattan apartment.
Oh how sometimes I wish I lived in NYC.
How 'effortlessly chic' is her pad? It is ridiculously pretty + plush! She is a photographer's agent and I can only imagine the incredible works of art that hang in her space.  Pair that with her velvet settee + sofa (my latest obsession)...and its just absolutely EVERYTHING I need in my life.
The decorator behind her space is Rafael de Cárdenas. the brains behind this gorgeousness,

When boho meets traditional interiors...

Remember this...

"If you are collector, let other people share your pride and joy. Don't sprinkle your collection out of sight in a meaningless jumble. Notice how groups of small objects, when they are well arranged, become important and effective. Remember that repetition is a form of emphasis. Collect what you will, but see to it that you arrange your hobby to its best advantage."


-Dorothy Draper

and now for some rooms that just absolutely rock my world!

secret of domestic bliss # 29...pretty little vignettes

 Oh how I just love the beauty of interior decorating. It's such fun to make your home a treasure trove of your personal items and memories. Take a cue from interior and even fashion stylists everywhere and feel free to make a little 'scene' that sets a mood in your space. A vignette is an arrangement or placing of items that tell a story... whether it be a mood or just a color story, you can basically run with it and make it your own. It gives your home such personality and makes it look less like a showroom and more like your own little boutique. Be free, nevermind any rules, just make it pretty! 
Some of my favorites...
Do you guys have pretty little vignettes at home??? I want to see!
