Art in a Box – a great way to collect art
I was introduced to Art in a Box awhile ago and have finally gotten around to sharing it with you! The concept is that you "subscribe" and every month get a new piece of art from a San Francisco Bay area artist. You can read all about it on their site, artinabox.net. Here are some of my favorites:by...
A home with clean Scandinavian design but with personal touches life and travels
Scandinavian decor is a look I seldom dislike, as it follows one of my major decorating mantras, which is to keep your possessions edits to things that are functional and beautiful, and/or sentimental. I thought this home blended my whole decorating philosophy beautifully!What do you think?via Skona Hem
Gorgeous Goddess
I'm going off on a tangent here and sharing a love of mine - goddess style dresses. They work with your body's natural shape and look so much more comfortable than corsets and boning and hoops. And they are oh so effortlessly gorgeous.via Bottega Venetavia Samuelle Couture

A new and unique concept for candles!
I was given a really unique sample of candles, and their scents are based on the color palette of your room! Over a week I tested each of them and one thing I definitely noticed was how nuanced they are. I am no scent connoisseur, but they are all complex and not too strong, or too weak....
A fabulous, fashion inspired interior designer
I discovered Nicole Hollis in Metropolitan Home's November issue. I really liked what I saw and looked her up online to find more pictures to share with you guys. What do you think?Isn't this staircase just beautiful?One thing I picked up on right away was how versatile her work is.via Nicole Hollis
Vintage Bookshelf from Munkii
I think this bookcase is so beautiful. And what a wonderful answer to those of us who like the organic lines of vintage style but also the clean design that modern furnishings provide. What do you think?
I found out via Design Milk that the price isn't actually jaw-dropping. If you live in LA, you'll pay 2,099 USD + freight....
A glamorous, exotic retreat
I'm going to Morocco in January, and I couldn't be more excited. I've wanted to go ever since the first time I ate at a Moroccan restaurant in NYC. I saw a beautiful ad for this hotel in Marrakech, called "La Mamounia" in House Beautiful, and I decided to see if there were more pics online. Granted, I have...
