Headboard on a budget

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, I love ZGallerie. A constant source of affordable accessories and furniture, they have mastered the art of creating classic yet trend-forward pieces. Now, we all know upholstered headboards are all the rage (clearly, this is my second blog post on them), and they have been for quite some time. However, acquiring the perfect one can either be costly or rather time consuming if you consider the DIY version. I have a hard enough time cutting in a straight line, so I have long given up on creating my own. Enter ZGallerie, who now offer a brilliant selection of bold and classic headboards. From Chevron to Suzani, they have it all and of course at a reasonable price point (starting at $449).

For the Uptown Girl…

And the Downtown Girl…

Lazy Sunday

Hello, my name’s Erin, and I am a Sex and the City-aholic. I have quite literally seen every episode multiple times over, and never tire of them. I sometimes find myself speaking in SATC quotes, and I think the opening song makes Matt’s skin break out in hives. Much to my pleasure, I turned on the TV this morning and a marathon is playing on the Style network (espn for ladies). While watching Carrie and Big break up several times over, it made me recall their infamous Annie Leibovitz photoshoot for Vogue a few years back. Leibovitz’s creativity and sheer genius never cease to amaze.

Falling for Brooklyn

There are a plethora of fashion bloggers out there, whom inspire daily. Many, who often make me scratch my head and ask how in the world did they manage to pull that amazing outfit together. I think I am pretty decent when it comes to putting together ensembles, but the art of layering and mixing high and low to the perfect culmination is still something I am trying to master. With that being said, I have a new favorite blogger who is quickly inspiring me to mix loud patterns and forge on with my highest heels. Her name is Brooklyn Blonde, and she is brilliant.

Black, White and Gray–All Day

I often come across well appointed rooms that I adore but, it’s rare for me to stumble upon an entire home that quite literally makes me weak in the knees. The Vancouver home below, recently featured on Made By Girl is beyond brilliant. The actual structure and detailing of the home is out of this world, not to mention the perfectly curated interior design.

How amazing are the super rich hardwood floors and the glass staircase railing??

The perfect bar – you’re guests have a place to relax while you are mixing up a cocktail!

Loving the touch of bold pattern, everything is a bit monochromatic and this adds a fun pop!

Freaking BA-NANAS kitchen!! (sorry Rachel Zoe is back) I mean, does it get any better than Carrera, white cabinetry and silver accents…I think not.
