Summer has come and gone. The long weekend was relaxing and rejuvenating. I ended up in a few different sections of LA all weekend from The Taste of Beverly Hills to the Lumberyard in Malibu to Venice (my home away from home) and Brentwood (my home) Here are some favorite stores that I visited.
Black and Camel look perfect together, throw in leopard, cream, and gold for an added dose of chic.
A quick post today. Work has been nutty, I leave for vacation soon (see below), and these are the things I’m looking forward to.
A family vacation to Maui-leaving tomorrow. I’m ready for a little sun and relaxation.
Just what is missing from the Brentwood Country Mart-an upscale market/larder. Farmshop , Jeffrey Cerciello’s latest venture will fill the void. It should be great-he is the chef behind Bouchon and Ad Hoc.
Camel is dominating the Fall runways, and I’m looking forward to punctuate it all with shots of Hunter green.
I love this tote from J. Crew.

This week has been busy-lots to do at work, busy with friends, and trying (really trying) to blog more often-next week already seems like it will be crazier! But I’ve managed to pull together some favorites, so I hope you enjoy.
Habitually Chic did a great post on style icon, Aerin Lauder after she was profiled in T Magazine. I adore her bar set up. I love the dark, masculine colors and her amazing selection of art-definitely one to add to the inspiration file!
If you follow me on Twitter, you know I recently purchased this dress from Maje a cool small French label with great prices. -available at Net-A-Porter. I find it to be the best multi-tasker day to night dress. It… read more
A quick little post today! I am head over heels for these soft, beautiful framed textiles from artist Paule Marrot available through Natural Curiosities and Anthropologie. I think they are the perfect palette for art in a bedroom-the hard part is deciding which I like the best.
I have always loved the idea of a small little nook set aside for a bar. A home bar is much more than some booze and a martini shaker-a well-stocked and well-decorated bar takes some thought,creativity, and personality. I love accessorizing bars with fresh flowers, books, and interesting objects. Below are some great inspiration shots along with a basic checklist and some tips for creating a beautiful bar-all that’s left is having company over. Chin-chin!
What do all these items have in common? Well they just happen to be my favorite things of the week. I stumbled across these bottles from Made Goods-a wonderful resource for mirrors, furniture, and objects. I think I’d like them for my den. I also love these lapiz lazuli boxes-a great accent for a coffee table, desk, or to stash jewelry. I am swooning over the Chloe Clutch from up and comer designer Heather Belle. The tie dye pattern and ultra saturated colors are a must for Fall. My favorite is the purple. This inspiration shot from the recent issue of Lonny Mag is perfect for my bedroom redo-I love the ikat duvet cover and the casualness of the bed. My friend and fellow blogger Capella introduced me to the… read more
It’s so hard to keep up with all my favorite blogs-but please check my list for my new additions! I love each blog for different reasons: Mrs Lilien for her sharp wit and tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, Orchard 11 for her fun layouts and solid travel and design information, Alexis in Napa for a true Insider’s Guide to Napa Valley, From the Right Bank for endless inspiration, and Lox Papers for her brilliant collages and great resources. Ok all you graphic design bloggers-teach me what you know! Don’t you think Graphic designers win the award for best blog layouts?? I want to learn how!
Remember the good old days of back to school shopping? Right around this time, my sister, Dad and I would take our annual trip up to San Francisco with the sole intention of shopping, and then shipping our loot back down to us. Here are the items I would choose for my adult version of my back to school list. … read more
Style Curator loves having guests over and learning about new resources, so I was thrilled when Capella entertained the idea to blog swap for the day. Capella is the founder of Capella Kincheloe Interior Design based in Atlanta, Georgia. She and I worked together at Michael Smith and she has since spread her wings to start her own interior design business. She also writes A Curated Lifestyle-a go to blog for DIY ideas, great design inspiration, and a fresh approach to challenging design dilemas. Capella is super talented and she has really drummed up a great business for herself. Keep her on your radar because when she’s famous, you can say you read about her first! Make sure to check her post on A Curated Lifestyle where I answer my favorites a… read more
