Fashion inspired Friday: pretty patterned sofas

One thing I think about often is how very not bold when it comes to fashion. I'm pretty simple and classic but I do like to get a little crazy with jewelry, shoes and bags. However, when it comes to home decor I love being bold and lately I am just loving crazy fashion inspired patterned sofas. This is a surefire way to keep your home fashion forward and fabulously fresh. Here are a few I'd like to try out myself...

 I'm sure we all remember this gorgeous magenta David Hicks patterned sofa from the pages of Domino...its always been high, high on my LUST LIST...

Fashion inspiration for the weekend...the NYC look

As I prepare and pack for New York I am oh so inspired by the fashion! LA fashion is fantastic but it will be a nice change to layer up for cooler weather. As you can probably imagine, I want to make sure I wear the perfect nyc outfit everyday...gotta be a stylish decorista!

Lately the belted trouser look has captured my heart, throw in gold chains and a loose blouse...lovely.

Have you ever met someone and just instantly felt like kindred spirits?
I love when that happens, especially now that have an adopted big sister.

Totally inspired by this fashionista + decorista + domestic diva...Suzanne Marquez.

The Decorista Style File...what I want now!

Fresh off a fabulous Thursday evening of soirees (including a Veranda event), I am completely inspired by the cover of the new issue of Veranda. The gorgeous cover shot is a Miles Redd design and is over the top amazing. I love the way he used the beautiful emerald hue.
I am always inspired by decor when I shop for fashion and this season emerald green is on my radar.
I am so craving these delicious goodies...

FASHION FRIDAY: lookbooks

i absolutely love fashion. i love shopping, styling, wearing, and everything in between.
Lately, I have been on a vintage kick, scurrying around every thrift store in town to find the perfect pieces for my winter wardrobe.
Lookbook.nu is a fantastic site that shows real people, showing off their fashions. 
It's amazing and sooo good for style inspiration. 
After all my searching, i know i am in need of the perfect fur jacket (faux of course). :)
Happy Fashionizing!
