Funday. Bunday.

Thankfully slept in. Meandered through the neighbordhood for an iced cup of joe. It just feels like a no frills, bun kind of day. Don't you love weekends, darlings?

Hey Stud.

These hot little stud muffins are the latest introduction by Loren Hope. Her entire line is something every girl can appreciate- dripping in sparkles and won't break the bank! They remind me of my favorite pair of crystal and coral vintage earrings, which although smashing, have those annoying screw-in backs popular in the 40's.

Speaking of the 1940's, wouldn't they look awesome with this??

My Little Piece of NYC. Commissioned Art!

An existing piece in J's portfolio. Obsessed!!

 My very first piece of original commissioned art will soon hang in my new NYC apartment and the anticipation has already taken over me! The artist? A dear, long-time friend, an amazing creative talent and above an all-time favorite of mine from her portfolio. I adore her takes on Chuck Close. We're currently working on the general idea and color palette, but for now I can tell you it's going to be a big one!

What about you, darlings? Are you up for over-sized art? Commissioned pieces? Do tell!

The Brickyard

Exposed. Brick. Is this a love/hate? Maybe it's our new place, but I clearly only have love. Which route would you take loves? Would you run with the rustic feel? Or would you go glam and pair it with chandeliers? I love contrasting elements, not to mention sparkly items, so there really is no question as to which road I would sprint down.
