You can do so many magical things with black. I am extremely fond of the combination of black and brass...its completely glamorous. However, greens and blues also look so very rich and decadent against black. Anything from nature like botanicals or pretty pink flowers will pop against an all black backdrop. This old spread from Domino (via moodboard showcases just how beautiful black walls can be.
The Premiere Issue of High Gloss Mag
The new girl on the block, High Gloss Magazine its finally here! I am loving this new online glossy. Packed with gorgeous interiors + fashion from cover to cover and it rocked my world in the best way. The artwork in the mag is superb, I was so happy to see so much goodness in one place. You must check out the new issue. Here are a few snaps of my favorite pages.
Will any of you be at the launch party in NYC this evening? If so, make sure to say hi!
Kelly Wearstler gets it right everytime...the Viceroy Anguilla
Can we just talk for a second about the latest project done by one of my idols...
Gawd, I love her. She has done such a brilliant job with all of the Viceroy hotels and this new one, the Viceory Anguilla is out of the world and makes me want to get there immediately. Thank goodness for the world wide web so I can just delight myself in these amazing photographs. I am loving the shift here from hard elements to more woods and earthy elements in her designs. Still as graphically and architecturally dramatic but sans the crazy bold colors. As always, I love her artwork choices, she gets it right in that direction every single time as far as I am concerned. Its very relaxing and at the same time enchanting.
I could imagine that the minute you walk out to this bar it takes your breath away.
Maybe I'd stop by the boutique and shop for a moment after I hit up the spa...
then grab a bite to eat at the restaurant, Coba and then off to the rooms...
So...what do we think???

Okay, so New York city is absolutely blowing me away. I have been buzzing around this city like crazy. I am most fascinated by the beautiful art galleries... everywhere! This photo totally inspired my day yesterday of hunting this city for the best artwork finds for clients this week. All the artwork in the city is intoxicating!

style-icious Sunday {eclectic panache}
There is something about these NYC streets and the fashion that saturates them. Each outfit is so very different than the next. It inspires me in that I remember not everything has to be so "put-together". Eclectic style is every bit as stylish as the next, and probably a lot more inspiring than others.
Today I just want to luxuriate in the rooms that are inspired by this kind of look. Curious, colorful and filled with mixings of the most fabulous of textiles (suzanis + furs + plush velvets, oh my).
Anthropologie + chevron = prettiness
Absolutely crazy for these chevron curtains from Anthropologie and incessantly looking for a reason to buy them. Pretty, huh. and very Missoni-esque.

the decorista Trend Spotting: brass deer
These lovely brass (and quite large) deer figurines are all the rage and I have been dying for one.
My obsession started a while back when I found a brass rams head dining table. Since then I have been coveting a brass deer and found out that my dad has one that he is sending me and I cannot wait to get my hands on that little angel. I love it.
P.S. I AM LOVING NY.
I'm getting all settled in to my adorable + cozy apartment...shopping around the cutest little neighborhoods and playing around with the pup in the snow. Too much fun.

bliss in the kitch' {striped walls for the win}
Oh my goodness. This gray and white striped kitchen is adorable...I'm in love. It has that perfect breakfast nook quality that I love. Notice the bottles looking organized in that basket on the bottom white shelf, its perfection! The bright stripes absolutely make the space. I also adore the mis-matched chairs too. Such a cute little kitch'!
What I love about Rue Issue 3
I truly love Virgin America for the fact that I can browse the internet on the airplane. I've had so much time to devour the latest issue of Rue and I love it! My favorite spread...
Nicole Cohen's fabulous NYC apartment. So incredibly gorgeous, I am obsessed!
Her blog, sketch42, has always been one of my favorites. She is fab + a longtime blogging friend of mine...so I could love it most because I am just a teensy bit proud of her. (and jealous!)
I also am in loving these other lovely images, which I keep going back to...

who doesn't adore Rita Konig?
She has always been a favorite of mine. I've always loved her home decor and writing skills. Her mom is Nina Campbell, a fabulously famous decorator. She's adorable too!
Check out Rita in the premiere issue of matchbook! It came out today and it's too cute for words.
the industrial chic look...Roman +Williams
Roman + Williams just really know how to pull this look together don't they?
While the overall look may be a tad too much industrial to me, there are bits and pieces of the style that I can pull from. It's just such inspirational work, how can you not admire?
office space of the day... collector happy
collection of taxidermy + blanc de chine lamps + fab lighting + fun flooring + cute stools with throws=

Home Tour: Kristin Gallipolli's sophisticated retro
The minute I laid eyes on this stylish abode I knew I had to share. It's a little over the top playful + fun, but there is something different about it that really caught my eye. The orange and pink together creates a more modern vibe as opposed to a girlie one which is hard to pull off. Lots of exotic, modern and vintage pieces are paired together to create an unexpected twist on the 60's retro look. Maybe its going to for a sophisticated retro vibe, as that gorgeous lucite coffee table is completely stunning and brings the decor up a few notches.
Its a fun and whimsical space, that's why I like it. Oh, and of course the punches of color...you guys know how I feel about the colorful couch thing.

rooms that rock my world! my dream bedroom...
and I am absolutely in love!
The dark wall behind the plush headboard is the perfect compliment to the influx of bright light in the room. I am also enamored with beautiful + calming feminine hues of light pink and purple. It just tops the room off with a bit of elegance and romance. So dreamy, no?
