Earlier this year, we shot for Adore Magazine in my studio space.  

Photographer, Taleen Dersdepanian shot some amazing images of me in a flowery Milly Dress while Makeup artist Mayela Vazquez did my makeup. (which I loved).  I wanted to share this behind-the-scenes short promo video they shot during our photoshoot. Check it out below. 

Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Book Review: Adore Home Book

Loni Parker of the popular Australian online magazine, Adore Magazine, launched her first-ever design book and it's lovely! With about 185 pages of full color highlighting everything from living rooms to entryways to kids rooms & more....this book is a must-have. I love the thought she put into the (removable) cover using diagonal gold lines, which means it will look PRETTY on your coffee as well!  -  My favorite parts of the book are the ones I featured below..... such as the gorgeous dining table for four & the beautiful mustard colored velvet-sofa with an array of photos behind it.  How about the amazing loft covering two pages?!?

Oh...... how can I forget glimpses of my LOVE prints within some of the homes ....So happy about that!!! Sometimes design books fail, but this one is a winner for me. Why? Because it's full of color & inspiration....it's exactly what I look for when I shop for coffee table books. A book I'd be inclined to  open again & again.  If you're in the USA & want the book, you can only get exclusively via Hattan Home.

Otherwise, if you're in Australia, you can purchase it directly from the Adore website here.
I'm happy to say I love this book & it will be a part of my design book collection, thanks Loni!

Online Magazines - Are they inspiring you?

When it comes to seeking out inspiration -one thing I always look forward to is online magazines. The latest issues of Lonny Magazine & Adore Home Mag are some of my favorite issues! You can get a sneak peek of both below! 

Displaying homes from New York city to Australia - both are equally engaging & completely inspiring! I swear, I feel like re-decorating after I finish looking through these issues! But, we merely moved into this place and that just ISN'T happening! 

On a side note, I wish these online mags would devote an issue to more AFFORDABLE SPACES - so that the pages don't just serve as inspiration but would be attainable to most people. Make sense???

Do these online magazines inspire you? Do you feel they should feature more affordable spaces sometimes?

Adore Magazine's NYC Issue....

The newest issue of Adore Magazine hit the online blogosphere a few days ago & I felt right at home!  The issue was all about NYC - where I was born, but don't live anymore unfortunately.  However, I'll be in the NYC at the end of this month to visit my family! Woo hoo!!

As I've said before Loni Parker, the creator behind the digital mag is brilliant! You can see the evolution of the publication with every issue that comes out, each one keeps getting better & better! Don't you think?

Adore is definitely one of my top go-to (online) Design mags!



Living under a rock & haven't seen it yet? check it out.











See those coooool GOLD glasses on the table!?!?? I have those!


You can get them at Zgallerie.

New Sofa from West Elm...(Via Made By Girl)

So, I finally decided to get a bigger and better quality sectional.  I walked into West Elm last weekend & I knew this was it. Plus it helped that it was 10% off....!! 

In case you're wondering which one it is exactly, its the Walton sectional.  They offer it in a variety of fabrics & I REALLY wanted it in velvet, but they said it was like a 10 week wait.....huh?!? Forget that!

First, my father will be visiting with my brother this month so I needed something relatively soon. Second, the basket weave fabric was available on the spot, so I took that.... EXACTLY like the one they had in the store.

I'll be featured in the upcoming issue of Adore Magazine - so you'll see the way it looks in my home then! 



BELOW: Old sofa.   For those of you wondering... what did she do with the old sofa?? Well, I sold it.  In my opinion when you want to make a BIG purchase.....  

TIP: SELL items in your home that you don't need. 


The REASON for this is so you can offset the cost of the NEW purchase! I do this all the time when I buy something new for my home. So, if you know you have items in your garage you're not going to use.... EVER....just sell it & buy something you really love for your place!
