Clinging…

Yes, i’m clinging to summer. I know we’re all being inundated with images of fall, and, while i love the fashion and the changing of leaves that fall brings, Alas, i’m not ready to say goodbye to summer! *Sob, sob.* Therefore, i’m inviting you all to...

Need a clone + gentleman’s stylish pad.

I have been Mia because i have lots going on right now, so much so that i am wishing i had a clone. Dare i say that i really feel that i possess some superhuman traits because that’s the only explanation as to why i am able to “juggle it all,” and not topple...

Diane von Furstenberg’s Connecticut estateMy “must haves list” as far as design book purchases go keeps getting longer and longer. I have just added a new one to the list; “American Fashion Designers At Home.”  It’s written by Rima Suqi, a contributor to T and The New...

I have been meaning to post an update on my progress regarding the launch of my operation toned legs. See here if you missed the original post. As you can see in the picture, I am sporting my New Balance toning shoes. I’m not sure how long it has been since i first...

Je t’aime.

Je t’aime.

As a little girl, i’ve always had dreams of going to France. Those dreams were realized when i moved to Italy(it’s so much easier to travel all over Europe when you already live there!). However, although i’ve been to Paris, my addiction has not lessened at all. In...

Carey Mulligan.

Carey Mulligan.

I figured after that design overdose yesterday(although i breathe design every second) that i would give you a break:-). Instead, we could indulge in this fashionably breathtaking shoot that 25 year old broadway and film star,Carey Mulligan did for the October issue...

Hi everyone! I was so busy yesterday and i’m still busy so i will not be posting my page length full of pictures today. Thank you for the complements on my deck project too. I posted this bedroom to my tumblr recently and thought that i would share it with...

My deck project and progress.

My deck project and progress.

I thought it fitting to give an update on my deck project since it’s labor day weekend. While many people tend to go to the beach etc for this long weekend, a great percentage of people(like myself) also take the long weekend to tackle a home project....

This labor day weekend…

This labor day weekend…

I would be content to just sit here all day and take in this view at the Villa la Vedetta in Florence Italy. And when i couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer, I would happily retire to my room where my opulent bed with its luxurious  linens awaited. Did...

Understated elegance.

Understated elegance.

The facade of this home is simple yet statuesque. I love how the vines have grown up on the sides and that shade provided from the trees looks so welcoming. I love the light coming and and the fact that they left the windows undressed. The neutral walls also is a...

The colour orange.

The colour orange.

My fascination with the colour orange is borderline obsessive. Seriously, i have to remind myself that there are other colours on the colour wheel. As a warm color orange is a stimulant — stimulating the emotions and even the appetite. Orange can be found in nature in...
