COUTURE + COLOUR: the moody blue

 Happy Wednesday readers! Morgan here bringing you your weekly dosage of 

Couture + Colour. I wanted to focus this week on a color I find to be 

bold and moody... 

NAVY BLUE

1. Loving this fierce outfit...navy patterned Miu Miu heels and this striking navy blue dress! I love the shape and the way it moves with the wind. I wish this outfit was inside my closet...

2. I LOVE this image!  The way the navy blue wall color was used not only on the wall but to cover the door and frame, now thats good design. This color makes everything pop especially the yellow settee! This room is gorgeous.

3. This navy blue Butterfield sofa from Jonathan Adler has the right mix of comfy and sexy!!

4. If you have an old piece of furniture that needs a little spicing up, paint it a color to bring it back to life and add some flavor to your space...like this navy blue painted bedside table.

5. If you want to add only a little bit of color bring it in through something as simple as your lamp shade like this one here from Mr. Nate Berkus.

6. I have been obsessed with this image for sometime now...I think it's stunning and so creative how the doorway has been painted to bring in color. Such a great idea if you're nervous about painting your entire space and it's more unique than painting an accent wall. Image via

Hope you're loving navy blue, until next week...

XoXo!

COUTURE + COLOUR: Seductive Siilver

Happy Wednesday lovely readers! Morgan here bringing you some of my favorite silver items for this week's Couture + Colour!! Hope you're making it through the week just fine before the big holiday! 

1. I couldn't love this image any more than I do...hot pink lips, Chanel bag, tight metallic silver pants and a fur jacket!! I think by her pose she knows she's fabulous. She's so long hair and money.

2. I love a lot of Tom Dixon's products (that's why I was freaking out on the inside when I met him at ICFF) so it's hard to pick a favorite but I have been admiring his Bulb Chandelier, it has the right element of funk to it which I can always appreciate.

3. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before my love for antlers. This silver pair is perfection,  it's a great way to glam up a rustic look. 

4. On a trip in Munich, I walked past a store front covered in silver metallic mesh tiles, LOVED it.

My tip: cover your fireplace, store front, wall, entry or any flat surface with the shiny tiles! 

5. Say hello to my dream coffee tables by artist Erik Levy!! These babies are so amazing but their price not so much. They are super spendy but give the perfect amount of shine...oh, I'll never stop dreaming. 

6. Some may find this shiny silver hallway odd but I find it so beautiful! Plus the neon diamond light (another obsession for me) is so unique!

7. This silver ornate cabinet comes from another company I dream about owning pieces from...Jimmie Martin! Their products all have a very glam/punk/rebel vibe to each of them, but they are dramatic in their own right, so I can't help but adore it. I discovered this company from one of my favorite designers Abigail Ahern (love her funky style)!

Now you know a little bit more about me and the items that melt my heart! I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week and holiday!! Hope you enjoyed this week's Couture + Colour!

Until next week...XoXo

COUTURE + COLOUR: Orange

Happy Wednesday readers, Morgan here for your weekly dose of Couture + Colour and this week's color is orange! I struggled with this post because orange is one of my favorite colors and picking only a few orange images was rough!

1. I'm dying over this funky orange feathered dress!! I would look just as happy if I got to wear that fabulous feathered item, this has been my favorite outfit thus far!!

2. I've had my eye on this orange coil table lamp for sometime now! Made out of a 100' of orange extension cord from the Future Perfect, it is definitely a conversation starter.

3. I'm loving this adorable orange patent leather armchair from www.gillesnouailhac.com. It is classic with a funky twist, just the way I like it!

4. You know by now that I love colored doors, so you won't be surprised when I tell you these orange doors are in my apartment. 

5. This cheerful orange clinker pendant light comes from the creative fellows over at Rich Brilliant and Willing.

6. I love this orange painted Victorian home!! How could you drive past this home and not pull over to snap a pic?! 

7. I did a post on this colorful home in Stockholm designed by Tham and Videgard Hansson Architects (TVARK) earlier this year and thought the orange dining room floors fit perfectly into this post.

Orange is a color that will always make me happy and I'd be even happier to own a few of these items in my post. I hope you enjoyed this week's Couture + Colour!! 

Until next week...xoxo!

Shopping on Sundays...

The more that I spend my weeks in meetings, attending events and long dinners with friends and family, the more I realize that I need a wardrobe update. When I was living in Los Angeles, I could keep the same wardrobe year round and always look chic. New York is hardly that easy, there is almost a shift in wardrobe every few months. My favorite way to do this is by getting simple, classic pieces and pairing them with fun acessories. Bold necklaces are my favorite! 

So in an attempt to always be a stylish DECORISTA,

HERE ARE THE THINGS I MUST HAVE FOR THIS SEASON...

A perfectly dramatic bubble necklace

Diptyque candle (in one of my favorite scents)

Pointy toed Kate spade python heels

For snow or long walks in the city, flat boots

a gorgeous mix of black and gold wrist watch

A striped jacket to chanell my inner Chanel

Alice + Olivia red pants for meetings

My favorite TopShop camel dress

Gotta have a leopard Iphone cover

Emerald cocktail ring makes the perfect accessory for any holiday soiree

The Wedding Decorista: style by VERA WANG

When you are asked to be maid-of-honor for a wedding, it's almost like unwrapping a Christmas gift...beyond exciting! Then suddenly it occurs to you that a big part of responsibility is now on your shoulders. I am that friend who you ask to help "decorista" your wedding, because you have no idea what you are doing. It's incredibly exciting, but also a lot of work.

Typically, I am always pretty decisive when it comes to picking out a color story (for this winter-time, California wedding we are going with RICH NAVY and a pretty pink) but when I realized that I have to pick the bridesmaids dresses too, I was stumped. It's too much for my little decorating heart (I cringe at the thought of bridesmaids dresses). 

Until I found the most amazing, not to mention incredibly affordable, collection of bridesmaids dresses by Vera Wang...and I just had to share this find with all of you! 

Since navy is our dress color of choice, I was delighted to find this long (perfect for wintertime) navy ultra fitted and flattering mermaid style dress. Finding the dress was much easier than I thought, I just can't wait to try it on! Oh, and these other options that Ms. Wang has designed are incredible too! Perfect for fashionable bridesmaids.
