Lenny Kravitz for CB2

If you haven't heard.....Rockstar, Lenny Kravitz is now a designer & has teamed up with CB2 to launch a super chic home collection! Exciting! I've been waiting for this & have to say this collaboration was a great idea on CB2's part.  I mean, I've been dying to see more edgy & brassy-gold elements & BAM.... it's Lenny's new stuff!! -   I gathered some of my faves like this amazing Rake Brass chair designed with Lenny & this
Icelandic Sheepskin stool with gold legs (not from his collection but, OMG!)  

If this collection doesn't give your home a CHIC & edgy feel, I don't know what will. I DEF have to visit CB2 as son as we get back from our vacation! 

I should be updating mostly on my instagram from our vacation, have a great weekend!

The NUNA ZAAZ High-Chair

It's official. Our NYC apartment now has a high-chair.  I was dreading this day, I SWEAR.

Why? Well, because  I pictured this HUGE, ugly piece of metal in the middle of everything. Sort of like the one I used to have when I was baby. That thing was just plain UGLY!

However, thanks to NUNA, the Nuna ZAAZ (the coolest high-chair) was delivered to our place a few weeks ago, and I thought I'd review it for you. This is a sleek & modern looking chair for kids.
It grows with your baby, which is perfect at mealtimes for years to come! The ZAAZ is safety tested, super comfy, customizes to any size & matches our pre-baby lifestyle.

Trust me, I LOVE trendy furniture and chic home design...so I prefer (as much as possible) that the baby items fit with the decor.  So thankful to companies like NUNA who design baby products that look nice & are functional & safe! As for color, we chose the pewter, its as close to black as they  have. It's actually a blend of dark gray + black. The seat is the dark gray & the rest of the chair is black. Great for hiding food stains etc. right??

Noah seems to enjoy it, we use it every day during all his meals. Right now he is fed by hand, so he doesn't use the tray much.  I can't wait to see the DISASTER he makes when the time comes to eat everything with his own little hands.  Ha! One of the coolest features is as he grows we can remove all the extras & it converts into a classic dining seat!

Anyway, I recall visiting a few baby stores here in Manhattan prior to receiving this chair from NUNA, & I noticed this was one of the most compact chairs. Big PLUS for City living! I def recommend this chair!


Below are some GREAT features & why we chose the ZAAZ for Noah:

It is smart design.

  • customize the ZAAZ to any size, height or amount of wiggles
  • a hidden lift behind the footrest adjusts height easily and lets baby join in at the table
  • three or five point anti-loop harness, featuring quick click release button provides ultimate safety and peace of mind
  • unique air-foam cushion custom-fits each chair and pads both small and bigger bottoms
  • no-crevice design outwits crumbs and cleans up like a dream
  • removable plastic components are dishwasher safe
  • extraordinarily sleek leg base, chic color options and smart look makes the ZAAZ feel like designer furniture
  • made of high quality materials that do not contain bpa, pvc or dehp

My Top 5 Picks for Strollers

Ok, so as many of you already know from following my instagram, we adopted a baby boy.  He was a new born when we met him & he is now 1 month old.  This journey has been a long one with several ups & downs.....but we couldn't be happier with the end result!  Thank you to all of you who helped us through this, whether through donations or emotional support, we are truly grateful. 

With that said, we are now in the market for a NEW stroller. 

We had purchased one when we got our baby but we were not completely happy with it. I have done research and have narrowed it down to these 5 modern rides for kids. I prefer an all-black stroller ...in fact, the less color, the better. 
 I really like the idea of having a fully equipped stroller in Manhattan, since I am always on the go.  

It's also nice to have a carry cot like the NUNA stroller has, in case I'm out & need to do a quick diaper change....plus, baby can sleep in a comfy position while strolling down the city streets.  I'm positive my little guy would love this feature since he's a sleeper!  The Stokke Xplory also has a cool feature which caught my eye, it has seat-height adjustability which brings baby closer promoting interaction + it's super compact, ideal for walking thru crowded areas.  

Do you own any of these strollers?  I'd love to know your thoughts!

Shalina's Modern Vancouver Home Tour....

Every so often I get an email of a home that just blows me away.....& this one is definitely one of them! 

 The owner of this ROCKIN' home is Shalina Lawrence, she's also a customer of mine who bought 9 Love Prints & displayed them in such an interesting manner - I had to ask her if I could see the rest of her home! I'm so glad I did!

Can you believe this place!?!? 
 
This is the first pic she sent me of the displayed Love Prints at the landing of her staircase...genius!




her home office....






That looks like driftwood on her dining table....I love driftwood, but it has to be a nice cut piece like this one below!
























What a dream kitchen right?? ...and it's all white...amazing!





Do you spot the display of Love Prints at the landing of her stairs??? Wowza!



Shalina also owns my Love & Hello Language prints - see below!


Thank you Shalina for sharing your home with all of us!

New Prints from my Made By Girl shop !!

My company, Made By Girl recently launched this set of prints called "Hello & Love Languages".  I designed these with today's modern home in mind...fitting quite nicely together as shown in the image of my home below.  If you love bold typography, this will be one print you don't want to miss out on. Since the launch (a few weeks ago) they've been flying off the shelves.  Right now, we have 2 options available, a screen print (gray letters) or digital print (white letters). So, why did I choose these particular languages for the prints?? These languages actually represent the fifteen highest traffic countries on my blog!

Did you notice the LOVE & HELLO hiding in gray within in each print?? 



(Above: Available with white letters as a digital print)

I designed the Hello Languages typography print (below) with entryways in mind. It's such a cool print to have in your home and at the same time to welcome your guests!

Kelly Wearstler is my top pick Designer!

I LOVE her designs and have even been around them, such as the ViceRoy hotel in Santa Monica. I remember walking in there and seeing this lobby and was so impressed. She isn't afraid to use colors and has lots of fun doing it i'm sure. She has her own style and I enjoy every bit of it. I'd to get her newest book "Modern Glamour- The Art of Unexpected Style" - i skimmed through it today while at the bookstore and many of the pics on her site are in the book. Its an amazing site too: Kelly Wearstler. Its a pleasure to post some of her work here.
