La Banane

J and I are gearing up for our trip to St Barth's...can't wait!! I'm especially excited to check out La Banane, a great little vintage hotel on the island. I am totally inspired by the decor; bright and bold, laid back and fun..xx

Get the La Banane look for less with my all time favorite cheapie dhurrie- from Dwell Studios. They're soft under foot, and come in 3 great color variations...xx

Lusting For....

Tabitha Simmons SS12....I absolutely love Tabitha. She is crazy chic and looks like so much fun. Her townhouse, featured in last month's Vogue is elegant and playful..and her shoes are, well, I'll just let you decide for yourself.... xxx

Watch out Spitzmiller...

Bungalow 5 has some seriously chic lamps these days...I picked up a pair of of the Delft Lamps in Dark Blue for J's Living Room and they're just divine...heavy and glossy, with a perfect gold leaf base, and the shades are bad either...which one do you like? xx

Everything old...can be re-covered!

I have been working on J's apartment for the past few weeks and am absolutely in love with a pair of swivel chairs we r-covered in Quadrille's Arbe de Matisse. One of my all time favorite fabrics...from my all time favorite designer, the one and only Billy Baldwin...Also used by Daniel Romualdez in Tory Burch's breakfast room...swoon! Check out my little chairs below, aren't they darling? xx

Many more photos to come of J's apartment...but couldn't resist sharing these new swivel babies! xx

Paintings!

Check out my new paintings for sale on Etsy. Creating your own abstract art is a fun and inexpensive way to brighten any space...So grab a canvas, some bright colored oil paints, a few friends (and a bottle of wine or 3) and let the fun begin! If that doesn't sound like your kind of fun...check out my shop! xx

Lela Rose for Payless

The designer capsule collections for Payless Spring 2012 are adorable. These are my picks for classic brights for summer, Lela Rose's ankle strap wedges in blue and yellow, and Isabel Toledo's aqua loafers....Christian Siriano's top handle tote isn't half bad either... xx a
