I Heart You

Oh my goodness what a beautiful day! Today I had a Valentine's lunch with my honey and now I am hanging with my other 3 loves this afternoon enjoying this gorgeous weather.
If you haven't picked up the March Spring issue of In Style then it is a must. I almost skipped over it in the grocery the other day but flipped through quickly and caught the images of Tory Burch in her luxurious home at the Pierre Hotel, Manhattan and promptly put it in my cart. 
 I have seen Burch's home photographed in other publications but this feature really popped with her use of oranges, greens, animal prints, wood, and other textures. Her laid back luxe approach to design is evident in her home and clothing. I found the below pictures of Tory lounging in her home with photographer Nigel Barker while searching for the ones in InStyle. She has since recovered her sofa (top picture) in a beautiful print but everything else looks just about the same minus the people and well maybe a few more books on the coffee table.


This room is not shown in the InStyle shoot so I could not resist to post. That green sofa knocks the socks off my feet and the walls are covered in a silk velvet!



You can see more images Here but for the most current shots run don't walk and pick-up your copy of the magazine.

Favorites For You


Happy Friday all my friends I am so thankful for this weekend and for a wonderful week. Bittersweet for me it was, my grandfather at the ripe age of 91 left this world for eternal sunshine above.  Although his mind had left us some time ago we celebrated his life and the legacy he left behind. 
I was able to spend some much needed time with my grandmother his wife of 66 years and marvel at her strengths, talents, and beauty. When I was growing up and would visit my grandparents the trouble I would get into to was worth the sacrifice for plundering through the house. They were and to date are avid collectors, antique, estate, goodwill, you name it...heaven! I could spend, hours, days, for certain weeks.  My grandmother attends regularly an upholstering class to which she informed me that she was working on an antique sofa! Impressive and so inspiring.
I do love Friday and this Friday I have some new favorites on my list.
Hope you enjoy!


For the best new online read with great recipes, holiday decor and 140 pages of Southern goodness look no further than Southern Flourish.






Tory Burch is mixing and matching this season. I adore the mix of all the texture, pattern, and color.



All I want for Christmas is this vintage Zebra, who doesn't like taxidermy in small doses?


The most beautiful and wonderful smelling flower this time of year...
Paper whites

In the next couple of days you can add some bulbs to a terra cotta pot like this and the paper whites will bloom by Christmas.


A chic book "photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." Slim Aarons the world renowned photographer offers a glimpse into an era where time seems to stand still.  



Happy Friday

Doe a Deer




Look for the day. Why I love it so? It happens to be a Lite-Brite Reindeer made for the Tory Burch boutique's holiday window display.  This gives Lite-Brite a whole new meaning for me, who knew that you could create something so cool with a minimal 2,025,000 pegs needed to make all 46 window displays? I will say they have definitely raised the bar in my book in this department, I won't be showing my kids. 






All I Want For Christmas


Since Christmas is less than 2 months away and Neiman Marcus just unveiled their annual Christmas Book I thought it a great idea to start my list tonight...Sweets if you are listening, number 1 on my list is this ultra swanky 3 wheeled bike by designer Tory Burch which is featured in this year's book. It will be just perfect for cruising to the grocery, post office, or just a leisurely ride. The cute pups are not included so you need to start looking for the perfect King Cavalier Charles Spaniel to complete my look too. Sorry kids, this will be mommy's ride, no children allowed. You better hurry there are only 2 available!
