All hail, Annabel

The Coveteur, is quite possibly the most addicting site ever invited. Seriously, crack for fashion junkies. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s essentially a collection of pictures from the closets of “famous” people. Yes, you know the ones, with hoards of Louboutins and Oscar de la Renta dresses spilling out their armoire doors. We hate them, but can’t help to love them and are dying to know at all times what they are collecting. The current closet I’m coveting belongs to, Annabel Tollman. A journalist from New York, she has brought her glamorous touch to Interview, Vogue, In Style and The New York Times, to name a few. Be prepared to swoon below at her ultra feminine meets edgy glam boudoir.

Current Obsession: Alicia Bock Photography

I stumbled upon the lovely Alicia Bock a few weeks ago, and was spellbound by her talent. The way she captures light is intoxicating and her images are always mysterious. It’s amazing that she can take a simple subject and turn in it to a glamorous and romantic image.

For my lovely friend, who is beginning a grand adventure in France…Meilleurs voeux

Bring on the moving truck!

 

Matt and I are moving in together next month (insert happy dance here) and I am already day dreaming of ways I can decorate my still to be determined new home. Clearly this means I have already put in too many hours perusing one of my favorite online shops, ZGallerie. They have some brilliant new pieces and I wanted to share some of my favorites!

Cheaper version of the infamous Colette bed over at CB? I think so!

I am having a large glass coffee table moment right now

Chaise lounges, always chic!

The perfect place to setup a bar

Leopard AND Ikat, Whaaaaat?!?

Random, yes but would also be super cute on a bookshelf

Lovely Suzani rug!

Current Obsession: Armonia Decors

 

I was literally stopped in my tracks when I “clicked” the page of the latest issue of High Gloss and stumbled upon Armonia Decors. The designer behind the name, Emily Ruddo, has an uncanny ability to mix glam and traditional elements and turn them into stunning homes. Her portfolio showcases her extraordinary sense of style and I think I could find myself quite at home in any of her design projects. Check out the images below, and I bet you will agree with me!

I DIE for this chandelier and these chairs

Something about this room reminds me of Carrie’s apartment in Sex and the City, the movie. Love this wall color.

This octopus art work will haunt me for the rest of my life. I love it and can’t find it anywhere!!

How cute is Emily?! Love that fur vest!!

San Francisco Treat

 

I am just now getting to the June issue of House Beautiful and was floored when I saw the home below. It is a Victorian townhome in San Francisco that was completely redone (must be nice) and decorated exquisitely. It is one of the best mixes of traditional and modern I have ever seen. I must say in most home magazines there are typically a few rooms here and there that I fall for in a feature but NEVER the entire house. This was a first, and I can not stop gushing over it.

Interior Design by Ken Fulk

Exterior: It was repainted a crisp white with an attention grabbing red door. I am also loving the black trim around the windows.

Entry Way: My love for black walls continues, especially when paired with a stunning light fixture and Jonathan Adler throw pillows. Loving the mix of the fresh white chairs and the traditional side table.

Formal Living Room: This was the issues cover, and a perfect blend of traditional meets modern. I usually air on the side of modern, but something about this room really grabbed me. It probably has something to do with the crisp white and the pop of bright pink flowers. It just looks so clean and peaceful without being pretentious.

Dining Room: Amazeballs. The glass table with brass legs (west elm), the lucite lamp, the glamorous chandelier…need I go on?

Kitchen: Oh clean and crisp white kitchens, how I adore you. Those pendant lamps are silly awesome too.

Staircase: Zebra + B&W gallery wall = WOW.

Family Room: It’s so cozy and warm, a perfect place to sip an americano and catch up on magazines.

Master Bath: Simply lovely, and that crystal ship chandelier from ZGallerie makes the perfect whimsical statement.

Master Bedroom: This is actually my least favorite room. I think it’s the overly ornate bed. However, I do love the black and white pinstripe wall.

Guest Room: I Die. This room is incredible. The bold black and white stripes mixed with the cowhide rug. I mean, seriously?? I am loving the pop of the stark white gallery wall on the striped walls too! Ugh, must have this in my future home one day. LOVE.
