Bow

Kate Spade does a good bow.

                           

Fickle

His classically trained tenor voice has the ability to bring me to the verge of tears.......

But I never underestimate the power of a bad boy.

My love for this rocker is real and deep, circa 1991...

Bananas

My name is Julie and I am a Reality TV addict.....
So looking forward to the season premiere tonight of Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project.

Not only do I love seeing her style all the celebs, but her family life is hilariously entertaining.  

Seriously...I die!

Gloss

Making the list of House Beautiful's 2013 Interior Design Trends is Gloss.   
Whatever you call it...lacquer, polish or high sheen...this treatment can make a serious statement or be a clever accent in any design. From floor to ceiling, furniture to accessories...it has the power to add a little sexiness to a traditional space and is always a staple in modern design.

Attire

I could seriously have an entire wardrobe solely of this color combo. 
Such a classic!

                                       

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hollywood

Even though this lovely ginger did not win the award for Best Actress, Jessica Chastain is rocking this Giorgio Armani dress and is hands down my pick for Best Dressed! 

Absolute perfection from head to toe!

Congrats to all the winners, especially Daniel Day-Lewis...you had me at The Age of Innocence!

Fickle

I love the calmness of an all white bedroom.......

but I never under estimate the power of color!

Brass

A hint of Brass has always been one of my favorite design elements.  So I was glad to see that it made the list of House Beautiful's top 2013 design trends.   

Here's my take on how it can be incorporated in your home, whether your interiors maybe Modern or Traditional.  

Screens: modern // traditional , Chandeliers: modern // traditional // Chests: modern // ttraditional , Chairs: modern // traditional , Accent pieces: peace hand // foo dogs

Happy Weekend!!!

Pinning

I have been a mad woman pinning lately.  Usally when I see something I like on Pinterest, I "like" it and do not actualy "pin" it to any of my boards.  I accumulated over 1700 "likes"!!! WHAT!  I have started to pin them on my boards and it's actually been quite fun but I am quickly realizing that I will NEVER do all these lovely things and ideas....it could be a waste of precious time.  So, in an effort to not let all this hard work go in vain, I am going to try at least 5 of my pins a month....will keep you updated!

Follow me, won't you?
