Those of you who know me well know that I’ve had a long time obsession with Jimmy Choo shoes. I have yet to own a pair but every time I get an email from Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus, I can’t help but to open it up and start dreaming. This morning, I recieved one of [...]
One of my favorite things to do in the morning is grab a nice, piping hot (and strong) cup of coffee and just relax in my comfy lounge chair with my favorite catalogs and magazines. I was recently catching up on the stack of catalogs that had been accumulating and the latest catalog from Wisteria [...]
Vibrant and fun, Z Gallerie has easily become one of my favorite places to shop for accessories. Admittedly, I am extremely excited to spend a blog post devoted to sharing some of the pieces I've used in client's homes and in my own. For example, during a recent VIP Design Day I recommended this mirror [...]

It seems like it's the only time I can thumb through these without feeling guilty about my time, thinking I should be doing something else.
