Red, White..... and Black

Just received my Harper's Bazaar in the mail last night, and I just LOVE the cover, so I figured I would share...

I know, it's kind of random, but with those sequin studded lips, I figured I could sneak this in under "holiday sparkle"....yes?

... oh, and if you get past the cover, there are some beautiful images of Katy Perry, aka the new Mrs. Brand.

If you must wear leather ladies, this is how to wear leather and not look cheap!! What is your take on these fashion photos of Katy Perry? I think she looks STUNNING!    

This one is for the fashion file.

Black with a touch of Pink

                                   

I am kinda liking this patten leather skirt! Love the style of the skirt, the "not too strappy" heels and the touch of pink to soften up all the black... 

... and how about an interior interpretation of that outfit? How did I do??

I think those glossy, faceted black subway tiles are totally cool.... however, you might be cleaning forever, as every single little drop of water would show, and that would drive me crazy!

Perhaps in a powder room? Too much?

What do you think?

Sequin, Skulls & Coral...

I just could not resist this header, nor the images!

While skulls are totally not my thing, I just LOVE how this has been put together!!!

(Horace Skull Scarf, Miu Miu Cluthc and Kiko Orange Nail polish)

VERY cool fashion blog, totally new to me, but obviously I am a little late ;), as there are over 6000 (!) followers! Meet Chiara Ferragni and check out the entire outfit here....

Where's the party?

Seeing Stars

As it gets colder here in Scandinavia, the scarves are taking over the fashion scene! There are so many super cool ones, many costing a small fortune, even some that were triple my mortgage!!! I am totally NOT kidding...
But in all "fairness" (?) they were made of exquisite materials, the colors were yummy and... I could go on, but what's the point?

These two, with their sparkly stars are just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, I came across the brand StyleSnob, when I picked up a small leather clutch / wallet type thing, and looked up their website. Their prices are moderate, and the items I looked at were cool!  :)

As I mentioned in a previous post, the Danish Fashion scene boasts lots of black, leather and fur.... I love this glittery Lucia Necklace with the leather tassel. It would look equally cool over a dress, as it would over a tee!

How about dressing up today?

Spending time...

 

The exciting thing that happened today, you ask?

Well, for the first time in a week we were able to have one of our meals outside!!!

This is a huge deal, since the weather has not exactly been cooperating while we have been vacationing.... Sooo, we were spending time around the new outdoor dining area ;)  There were new chairs, like the ones above, they looked really GREAT, and were super comfy!

Spent the day with Mr. Wonderful at my sisters house, visiting with the clan; Hi All! Thank you for a wonderful meal and a fun time!!

Hope your weekend was fun and interesting!?

I found it...

I have been reading this fun blog from Sweden for about a year now, and every so often an image of H of P's home show up, and every time I see this Butterfly print, I try to find out where it's from... well, I found it!! YEAH!



I just adore how simple and clean this image looks. The black frame grounds the almost all white image, and just punches up the black outline of the butterfly.



I was finally able to, via 117 different blogs, and completely by chance, find the website that sells this print, so if anyone else out there is interested check out Rockett St. George.

I can't wait to my butterfly arrives!

Butterflies

Time flies when you are having fun....

I have not had a second to spare in the last couple of weeks, hence my absence!

This being my first "day back", I have just spent a couple of hours traveling the many blogs and sites I have been missing. Visiting Moth Design, I found this link, and I am now dreaming of one of these fantastic installations.... Such beautiful work!



It's great to be back!

White done right!

OK, so I don't even know where to start.

As you may know by viewing older posts that I have done, I do like the crisp combination of black and white. I prefer an all white room, with black accents, and I must admit, I love everything about this particular room.

EVERYTHING!

Light is such an important factor, and here there is so much of it. The black furniture grounds the room perfectly, love that it's glossy, so to reflect the light and not appear heavy!

White (denim ?) slip covered cushions, the zebra upholstered ottoman, ads a bit of flair and extra seating. Great size for the artwork, very simple and clean.... great pops of color, moving the eye from the flowers, to the books back to the blanket.

Now, can we discuss the Hermes blankets?

The first initial of my last name is H, that should entitle me to one blanket! The first initial of my married last name is H, that takes care of the second blanket!!!

I have long had my eye on the Avalon blanket from Hermes, but I am in no position to be spending that kind of money, however - perhaps - one day I will be the happy owner of one of these fabulous blankets...but until then, I will continue to spot them a mile away!!!
(Never mind that 11 months of the year it's so hot here in Florida, that this blanket would just be eye candy... does that really matter?)

Turquoise & ...

This little tray is so beautifully edited, I just love the double yellow parrot tulips, and how that turquoise bracelet just pops! Great styling - as always - from the Lonny team!

What a cheerful bedroom, I just love the colors! .....see the turquoise beads?
All the strong colors are so beautifully balanced by the black lacquer shade.
