Deja Vu...

When I started decorating this room, I was just pulling cool things that I liked.  When I finished it, I realized it is pretty much a version of my already existing home.  I too have a grey couch, velvety side chair, wooden coffee table, accents of mustard and cream, and yep I'd immediately dive into this room.  Someone just give me that bar cart and lamp, and I'll be a happy camper.

If I lived here...



If I lived here, my Brooklyn home would be decorated in all white, and my clothes in all black.  Harmonious! I'd be a raw and recycled gem and stone specialist, focusing on jewelry and home accessories.  The blank canvases of my clothes and home make the perfect backdrops for showcasing all my jewels.  I'll travel all over the world hunting for rare and beautiful gems, but home will be my sanctuary.  Apparently my wardrobe will be full of unpronounceable designers that use lots of sheer fabrics and leather.  Oo lala. My husband will be a hunky Wall Street hotshot by day, but by night he and I are master chefs at home...never cooking the same thing twice.  Our weekends will be spent perusing flea and farmers markets, trips to the Hamptons, cooking classes, dance classes, backyard BBQs, and couch cuddling to all of the past weeks recorded trashy TV shows.  Ah picture perfect.

Wanderlust Wishes

I think I have the travel itch every 2 months.  I swore I would hold off until May, but the wide world is calling my name.  Whether it's exploring Costa Rica, Vegas pool timing, kayaking in Bali, or sunning on a boat in southern France, I've got the wishes to go along with the dreaming....

Starring: The Wedge Sandal

One sunny weekend afternoon, my friend and I were having a long leisurely lunch at the mall.  We had been shopping around, so naturally we began discussing our fashion dislikes.  I think we agreed on full length jumpers being one of the hardest things to pull off, but wedged sandals put a little wedge between us.  I'm not a super huge fan, being that of the 80 pairs of shoes in my closet, maybe only 2 have a wedge.  However, she pictures a Joe Dirt/My Name is Earl kind of lady...which 90% of wedges give me the same feeling...but the other 10% kind of rock.  Today I want to show the awesome side of wedges - the beachy, bohemian possibilities they posses....not to mention height + comfort = score.

If I lived here...




If I have moved here, I have run away with my mountain man into the forest to escape society for a while.  When I agreed to abandon the world, that didn't include giving up my love of fashion (or the internet).  Bringing all my best duds with me, my man is in for some fancy picnics, tea time, and porch swinging.  Thankfully I was born into royalty, so the inheritance will fund these wild fancies whilst living in the middle of nowhere, cuddling and playing house with my bf.  We will spend the day working in our garden, hiking near by trails, swimming in the closest watering holes, fishing in the river, and making our very own fine wines and beer.  By night time, we will put on some music, build up a bonfire, toast some s'mores, dance under the stars, and cheers to our blessings.  Rainy nights are spent inside with candle light, a good book, homemade stew, and snuggles. Who knows how long this love could keep us hidden from it all, but it sure sounds so sweet.

A Star Wars Moment

I've loved Star Wars and Luke Skywalker before I knew what love really was.  Some things are just meant to be!  I grew to love fashion, like most girls do, and now am totally surrounded by it every day. Now, when Star Wars infused fashion came down the Fall 14 runways, life made sense.  Why didn't I think of it first???



Get on it....

If I lived here...



If I lived here, I would have an updated vintage home in Echo Park, CA and own a PR company that focuses on artists and musicians.  I'd be known for throwing secret, exclusive, and underground parties where my artists and musicians would showcase their work.  My favorite play would be to have guerrilla advertised pop up events at galleries and bars for my clients.  To escape the art and music scene, I'd mosey over to my boyfriend's restaurant in Hollywood for delicious margaritas and authentic Tex Mex. On my off days, I would cruise up to Malibu for some camping and hiking followed by serious wine sipping. My fashion style would be feminine and fitted but with a bohemian flare. Dresses are my game, but I will never be one for the ordinary. Over accessorized, and usually short-short, I will be dressed for the party, always.  Forever a FOMO, I wont't fall asleep without a million hour long conversation with my bffs in San Fran and Texas.  Life will be an adventure, and I'll sleep never!
