Today I'm following up on a post I shared last week, a post on interior design and a certain look called Hollywood Regency. In case you missed it, here it is. I LOVE it because it's so eclectic and reflective a fab finds of what pieces and treasures we put together, plus it's a reflection of an era when life was about glam and entertaining and being social and being FABULOUS. It has a timeless, classic element to it, with a flair of over the … [Read more...]
Hollywood Regency Decor
I'll never forget a wedding I went to in Palm Springs and we stayed at the Viceroy. This was when I was prego with my son, which is about 11 years ago. Take a look at the room we were in. They look the same today as they did then… Prior to that trip, I always into Country French and loved antiques (I still do love great old pieces), but I couldn't help fall in love with the clean lines and just the simplicity and "Hollywood" it felt … [Read more...]
50% off Outfit
I love to shop this time of year because everything is deeply discounted. I'm a sale gal. I hate to say it, but I gravitate to the sale rack FIRST and then I make my way to the full retail price. I feel EMPOWERED when I've gotten a good deal. I mean seriously, who doesn't love a great deal, right? So now that the holidays are over and the winter season begins to wrap up, it's a good time to pick up a few things on sale. So I put a few … [Read more...]
Gifting Guide: Coffee Table Books

(images via Pinterest) (image via me) If there is someone on your list that you might not know … [Read more...]
A Sophisticated Disco Party
This weekend my daughter celebrated her birthday with her classmates. It was her big 13 and I wanted to do something special, yet not over the top, but still something great, and not overboard. We chose to do a party at the roller rink (remember THOSE days!!), but try to keep it as elegant and not cheezy if possible. So here's how it all went down where it didn't break my budget and still looked pretty great. 1. First I picked a theme. … [Read more...]

Kelly Wearstler
My first experience with Kelly Wearstler's incredible style was on my stay at the boutique hotel, the Estrella in Palm Springs in 2003. I was in awe of the awesome rooms, the impact of just the simple white rooms with black and yellow accents, very neoclassical accents, very hollywood glamour. From that moment on she become one of my most favorite designers. Not long after that, watching The Apprentice on tv, I shouted out, "OMG! THAT CONDO! … [Read more...]
