Gold Rush

Hop aboard this glorious...

Gold is being used more and more throughout the lifestyle realm and I happen to love gold! It shines brighter and speaks volumes in luxuriousness! To make this metal stand out even more, pair it with black! Look at the strong contrast, so breathtakingly bold!

NYC Fabulosity Friday: BG at Bergdorf Goodman

Happy Friday Lovely Readers! 

Its no secret that as far as fashion and shopping goes, New York gives all the cities a run for their money. As an avid little shopper, I find I work up quite an appetite after a long day of browsing the racks. Besides being a mecca to girl’s like me with MAH-JOR shopping addiction’s, Bergdorf Goodman’s 7^th floor restaurant, BG is just another reason (and there are many) as to why Bergdorf’s is my ultimate fave fabulous place to shop in the city. INSIDER TIP: the lobster mac and cheese which is absolutely divine & will keep you full for hours and if you stop in between the hours of 3:00-5:00pm be sure to opt for the Bg Tea Service: think high tea served Queen Elizabeth style- so decadent!.

Designed by Kelly Wearstler, this four room space withsweeping views of Central Park is just constant eye-candy. I simply die over the baby blue bonnet chairs and the black and gold wall moldings. 

Take a look below to see this BG inspired bedroom...

COUTURE + COLOUR: MINTY GREEN

When I saw this outfit on Pinterest from Fashionedit I knew it was the perfect outfit for my next post. How adorable is this girl?? Her beautiful red hair mixed with the fab mint green outfit... I'm loving it!!

1. Retro refrigerator! Let me tell you, I currently have one in my apartment and it is far from glamorous (even though it is called the Princess Series) it is gross! This one shown here from barsandbooths.com is adorable, after you read this post you must go look at their appliances that can come in custom colors! A color lover's dream!! 

2. I have had this imaged saved from Marmalade Interiors for awhile now... they use color in such a rich, classic and beautiful way! I love their work. This image of the mint green wall is seriously stunning.

3. I love when people use paint to cover their entire walls (base boards, walls and moldings) and I loved that they happened to use mint green!

4. Repainting old furniture is always a fun way to create a one of kind piece on a budget. If you don't feel like doing it yourself you can always rely on sites like Etsy to find shops where people who love doing it themselves sell their items like this mint green dresser from Minthome (appropriate name ey?). A fabulous piece of furniture!!

5. I'm loving this mint green gloss lacquered end table from furnitureinfashion.net!

6. I have an obsession with colored doors (be prepared for more to come) really though, I do! Every time I see a colored door in the city I have to stop and snap a pic. Love that I was able to find a mint green (ish) one from Miles Reed.

7. Suzy Hoodless is my girl!! I love her and her wallpapers. I recently finished working on a project where I used one of her papers, I was so thrilled the client loved it too! I love the mix of colors in the Jewel of Spring wallpaper. So cute.

8. I love fine china and I would love to own this set from www.everythingstopsfortea.com.

I'm loving all these images from this post - how could one not like this color??

I think I said "love" a lot in this post.

Until next week...xoxo!

COUTURE + COLOUR: BRILLIANT BLUE

    I was never a huge fan of blues for interiors, but I love rich, bold blues in fashion!

    It wasn’t until my first apartment in New York that I gave blue a shot by painting my walls Brilliant Blue by Benjamin Moore.  After seeing how vibrant the walls were, I immediately fell in love with the color!

    1. Peter Som’s 2012 Spring Collection is fabulous with color. When I saw this ombre blue dress I knew it was the perfect couture inspiration image for this post. I would love to own this dress!! Is it me or does the model have a farmer’s tan on her leg??

    2. Check out this everywhere blue storage/shelving unit! It has a monochromatic vibe which is always a plus in my book!! Super simple by having it all one color but the simplicity is beautiful!

    3. This image is of my first apartment in the city. See how Benjamin Moore’s Brilliant Blue makes everything pop? I loved it. Every time I walked in the door I felt happy to be home, and I know my blue walls had a big part to do with it! 

    4. Studioitte.com has some amazing wallpapers! I’m dying to own this blue porcelain wallpaper one day! How amazing is this paper?! If you love the look of plates on the wall but hate the thought of them falling or even having to put them up, this paper solves your problems! Plus you don’t see this paper very often which makes it unique.

    5.   I have always loved this gradient blue side table by Paul Loebach. Four shades of blue were used to create an ascent of saturation from floor to the table top.So cute!!

    6.  This all blue chair comes from one of my favorite Etsy shops – Metrosofa! I think this blue vinyl French antique Louis armchair would fit into any room perfectly!!! This chair is sexy, it’s covered in blue!

    Whether you paint the walls brilliant blue, bring the color in through wallpaper or furniture it is a color that is guaranteed to give some character to your space. It is bold and beautiful, this color has changed my ways on blues in interiors!

    Until next week… xoxo!!
