Wallpaper: It's Not Just For 1960s Ramblers Anymore












I am thriving on these floral wallpaper patterns! I would wear them as a printed dress AND put them on my walls. The Central Park and Buckingham Palace changing of the guards are especially fun.

If only...




I want to make macaroons in this kitchen.



I'm really in the mood to get my own place and decorate it already!

A Retro Throwback




I am so inspired! While having loved the retro look since forever, I think I especially started liking it when to my delight a makeup artist told me I had a great retro vibe going on. I experimented with makeup like this earlier in the fall and have been wing-tipping my eyes ever since. Lauren is rocking that glossy red lip. It makes me want to get out of my matte mode.

Ahhh Yes





The colors the costume designer chose to go with Rose Byrne's red hair in this film were perfect! Emerald, teal, chartreuse, rose, canary: absolutely beautiful...and they just happen to be my favorites.

They Inspire


My mother is a classy lady. She never leaves home without lipstick on. Her signature pieces include tailored crop pants, boat necks, cardigans, and leather boots. She's steps it up a notch with textures like brocade and velvet, and statement accessories. Check out those hot sunglasses from Urban Outfitters!

My sister once said, "High ponytails are for going to the Y, and low ponytails are for all the other times." She was 6. That's awesome.

My friend Lauren is a great Italian beauty. She is always simply put together and timeless. Lauren can do the most wonderful things with bobby pins, hairspray, and her makeup bag. She is truly an artist.


One word sums up my dear friend Elisa: lovely. She is sweet and graceful and the most fabulous mix of cute, casual, and sophisticated. She is straight out of an Anthropologie catalogue, and for that I envy her greatly.
