Holiday Inspiration: It's Beginning To Feel A Lot Like December

November is fading into December just in time! I'm beginning to feel inspiration and magic in the air as it is finally getting cool outside. My house is already filled with holiday cheer but many more decorations will be put up in the next week so stay tuned! In the meantime, here is some holiday inspiration for those of you who are already light on your feet with thoughts of Christmas!

Holiday Wear: Elie Saab Evening Wear

The holidays call for holiday parties which call for party dresses! Over the weekend, I successfully found a gorgeous holiday ball gown for a ball I'm attending in late December. I adore the dress I found but I can't help wishing I was going to be wearing a little runway couture. Hey, a girl can dream!

How glam are these looks from the Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture Runway show? If I could, I would absolutely be wearing one of the gowns to a fabulously fancy holiday party!

Good Day

Happy Sunday! Today I'm enjoying the last hours of Thanksgiving weekend with a morning workout and a trip to the Phoenix Art Museum to see the Fashion of the 1920s exhibition before I head back to Los Angeles. What is on your agenda today?

Hello Pumpkin!

Well friends, I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving full of family, friends, and food! While I've had a smashing good time this fall watching leaves change, wearing orange, and baking pumpkin goodies, I'm already changing gears and jumping head first into Christmas season!

Until next autumn, pumpkins! I'm off to do a little Christmas shopping...

Black & White With Bursts of Gold

Lately, I have been feeling like less is more when it comes to decor and interior design. Therefore, I have been trying to de-clutter my bedroom.

When I saw these photographs of The Glamourai's home I was instantly in love. While her aesthetic doesn't exactly match my own taste, I absolutely adore what she did with her space. I love the contrast of the black & white with the gold accents and the way the clean lines and shapes make the space feel extra spacious. The rugs, lucite and glass furniture, and the pouf are just perfect in tying the first room together.

I can definitely envision myself transforming this look into a guest room one day! What do you think of The Glamourai's taste?

Happy "less is more" Monday!

Vogue Weddings

Two weekends ago I went to Boulder, CO for my best friend's engagement party. It was such a beautiful weekend and as such I have been buzzing with wedding excitement ever since. What better thing to deepen my excitement than Vogue's new book Vogue Weddings: Brides, Dresses, Designers. Say hello to the new bridal bible as it features almost 400 photographs of weddings that have appeared in Vogue throughout the ages! I'm literally dying (& adding this to my Christmas list immediately)!

Business In The Front, Party In The Back

Hello loves! I am so sorry I have been so MIA lately. I've been traveling like crazy the past two weeks to Boulder, Phoenix, and Charleston. When I've actually been home in Los Angeles, I've been busy with work (oh the horror!). What a whirlwind it has been or as I like to think of it, business in the front and a party in the back!

Book Worm

All I want to do today is listen to the rain fall outside my window and snuggle up in my cozy bed with my book (The Paris Wife). I am a firm believer that everyone needs to take a "me" day every once in a while on a rainy day like today!
