Sophisticated in Pink

My love affair with pink is still going strong. I spotted this sophisticated room recently and gasped. I love the blush touches of pink, the brass details, the gentle curve of the furniture; it oozes feminine appeal for sure! That chandelier is gorgeous too, isn't it? xx

This Art Filled Parisian Apartment is Everything!

I am drooling over the amazing art collection in this home. Even the furniture pieces are like art; their curves and lines are just beautiful. Spotted on Elle Espana, and owned and designed by renown French  interior designer Didier Gomez, this Parisian apartment boasts so much eye candy! 

So what do you think? Have a wonderful weekend everyone. xx

Layered and Cozy

Isn't this such a cozy and inviting bedroom! That fiddle leaf fig is a beauty too-oh, getting out of this bed would be so hard, especially on a dreary Monday like this. This gorgeous bedroom belongs to Academy Award Winner, Marisa Tomei featured in the recent Fresh Perspectives issue of Elle Decoration.

Hello September

    I consider myself to be a Summer loving girl, but the heat and humidity got the better of me this Summer(could be because I'm preggo), but I have been daydreaming of a Fall cool down.  September is here and that means a cool down is coming. Time to get cozy and cool...

The Little Black Dress Saves Our Anniversary Date Night

     On August 23rd, we celebrated our 18th year wedding anniversary which fell on a week day, so the prior weekend we went out to celebrate on a rare date night. Since I haven't started to shop for maternity clothes, I was scurrying around my closet looking for something to wear when my eyes landed on this outfit which many thought was a black dress, but it is actually a blouse and skirt. It worked perfectly because the fabric of the skirt and top had some stretch so they could fit my ever expanding body.

     The positive feedback I received had me thinking how one can rarely go wrong with the lbd. In my very pregnant state, if there is some stretch to the fabric, then even if it is not maternity wear I can still wear it(well up to a certain point in pregnancy).  In today's post, I've rounded up a couple little black dresses that caught my eye and that I think are perfect for date night.

With the labor day sales going on, this weekend is the perfect time to score a little black dress at a great price! xx
