Convertible Cutie

It is time for a new car. I'm seriously considering this:

BMW 335is in Alphine White with Saddle interior. Sooooo pretty!



BMW 335is in Black Sapphire Metallic with Saddle interior. Very Grrrrr!

I have wanted a converible since FOREVER!! 

I'm still trying to get my mind wrapped around trading in my car:

I really love her but it's time to move on.

I really like the White Alpine, it says classic, dainty and ladylike.
But the Black Sapphire Metallic says, "I'm badass!!".

I think I need to test drive both and see which one feels better.

Which color do you like?

Foyer Fabulous!!



LOVE this foyer!

That chandelier is so amazing! Who makes this work of awesomeness??

The expresso floors and white walls, just warms my heart.

That bench seating doing double duty as a library and vignette.. so cleverly done.

The artwork wraps this lovely foyer in a chic bow.

The New Traditional

While on Youtube, I came across some short videos featuring one my favorite interior decorators, Darryl Carter. He has a new book out, "The New Traditional", that I plan to pick up tomorrow but these vids are a great precursor and definitely have me chomping at the bit.

This particular video is for Benjamin Moore, where he discusses his use of Moonlight White, throughout his home. It's a treat because it features snippets of his home, which are GORGEOUS.



I think I made a wonderful choice of changing our new interior paint from Silver Fox to Moonlight White. It will allow my furniture selections to pop as they do so wonderfully in the video.

The book and Mr. Carter's perspective is so fresh and inviting. It will surely be a guide for me as I continue to decorate our home.

In The Trenches

The weather is finally beginning to change guard and I couldn't be any happier. With the new palatable weather, one needs a light-ish jacket that is equally functional and fabulous. I give thee.. my latest obessions:

Studded Sleeve Bonded Twill Trench Coat

STUDDED FREAKIN' SLEEVES!!!!!!  *DEAD*




Gabardine Biker Trench Coat With Contrast Leather Sleeves

O. M. G.

Please excuse me while I go weep.

Get In My Closet!

I've been having a serious jones for clutch bags as of late. The bigger and more unique, the better.

First up, from American Apparel:


Although, it's not actually labeled a "clutch", this Leather Pouch will do the trick. I love the simplicity of it. A perfect addition to almost any outfit.

I opted for this one:



Some might say it's way too big but it's the very reason I love it. It's obnoxious and will be perfection stuffed under my arm. teeehee


Also on the hunt for an equally as big leopard clutch.

Alexander Wang Cher Large Siamese Clutch - sold out??  BOOO!


Next, on my radar is this clutch by Marc Jacobs. So cute!







I like both colors but I know I'll get more use out of the black option.. Decisions, decisions.

Unisex Office


I think this is an office that the both the Mr. (Treasure) and Mrs. (Me) could love. Although at first glance it may appear more masculine, it really speaks to my very feminine sensibilities.

I think the black walls are chic and the checkered floor... a stunna!

 You know I LOVE a Croc embossed leather, displayed on the top of the arm chair while a sumptuous velvet adorns the seat.

 I could be perched prettily on that chair for hours, trolling the interwebs, hosting a client meeting, blogging, buying shoes ... the list is never ending.

The zebra throw, is well, a neccesity. What room is ever complete without a little zebra print?

 I also love the traditional look of the desk and I think it works well with the chair and I won't tire easily of either because they were too trendy or of the moment.

I'm also sure my hubby wouldn't be too keen on sitting on a lucite chair. I'll save that for my dressing room.

Countdown To Spring


I'm so ready for warmer weather and sunnier, longer days. Spring is in the air. Do you smell it?
