The Decorista: What's on 7.31.10

I am absolutely loving the colors of Fall 2010...purples, nudes and grays are always delicious

The Fall 2010 collection by Rebecca Minkhoff is uber fun + so up my alley, as always. (How incredibly smart is this ad campaign...a bookshelf full of handbags...ooh la la)

I just can't get enough of the Jonathan Adler "show us your JA style" feature... it is such fun, I could browse all day.

I know it's still summer, but I can't stop thinking about wearing boots. I am loving all the fall fashions that are coming around. I am especially obsessing over tall, lace up boots...they are EVERYTHING to me right now!

I am so coveting one of these mac keyboard covers for my macbook. It's white and it gets so dirty...One of these bad boys is a blogger-ista essential!

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!
