Clutter

'A perfectly kept house is the sign of a misspent life'
This is my new coffee table book, written by Mary Randolph Carter. A great book about interior design and how you can find solace and a little beauty in the clutter of things, that we cherish in our everyday lives. It's features all the personal aspects of a home and how to make your home function with dogs, kids, old books, your grandmother's ironstone dishes and all the other madness we bring into our homes.

Find the book at any Ralph Lauren store for only $55

Fashion Alert

Spring is here...almost

Throughout the next month I will post some of my favorite collections for Spring 2011, I'm so excited to see all the new merchendise in the stores and not just on the runway pictures from Style.com.
One thing I know for sure - I want suede, laces and lots of creme and nude! (black, I will be buying anyway)

Besos

I really don't care too much about make-up, but one thing I do like whether I'm going to work or going out at night, is too paint my lips in a nude tone. I have used one from Helena Rubinstein for a long time now, that I absolutely love, but I am pretty open to try the Aveda products shown in the video below.

Fashionable YOUNG

Bonnieyoung
Even though I don't have any kids I would love to share this exclusive line of children's and baby clothes with you. It's designer clothes for kids. It's the best quality. It's over-the-top. It's beautiful!
Bonnie Young used to work as creative director for Donna Karan before she started her own exclusive line of clothing for children and infants with a line of furniture as well. They only have one store in the US, and it's in Aspen. Over Christmas I helped Dana, the store manager, with a fashion show for Bonnieyoung, done at the top of Ajax Mountain. It was so much fun and all the models looked beautiful in their Bonnieyoung outfits.
You can always find great cashmere's, organic cotton under garments, woven dresses and great outerwear with rabbit fur!

Here is a few pic. from the show (behind the scenes)

Pleather

I was given these AMAZING Kex Pleather jeans from Acne for Christmas. Unfortunately, the size was a little off so I send them back to an online store in Canada. So, I started looking for a pair in my size, but they were nowhere to be found. So now I'm getting desperate - I need to own them!! Maybe I should just give in and look for them in Sweden or Denmark and have them shipped from there.

Here they are...

Acne Kex Pleather Jeans: Skinny jeans with low rise in sanded shine finished black cotton. Distressed gunmetal rivets. Tone on tone stitching $300
Find them at the online store in Canada Ssense

Brazilets - wear your wishes!

I absolutely love Brazilets bracelets!
It's a 200 year old tradition and fashion accessory from Bahia, Brazil. They are worn world wide and supposedly they bring good luck to those who wear them. You tie three knots for three wishes, when your bracelet eventually falls off it is said that your wishes will come true.
They are only $5 each and they come in great colors - and no one said you can't wear more than one at a time.
I chose a light pink one - it's still on my wrist, who knows when it's falling off!

 

 Brazilets is committed to helping preserve and protect the Amazon Rainforest!

Original Art from an amazing artist! Courtney Goldsmith Broadwater...

Do you like to paint your walls with Claude Monet's Water lillies?
I like them - but they are just not for me.
I want something original, something personal and something that I can't find in other peoples houses.
Last year for my birthday I received a great gift - a piece of art, done by my friend Courtney Goldsmith Broadwater, who works out of NYC.
She made a bear drawing of my Newfoundland dog. She made a story to go with it, saying that my dog Indie Mae is actually a bear but that she dresses up like a dog so that she can sleep inside the house. Even the dog collar is matching what my dog wears now. I absolutely love it, and she made a whole series of bear drawings and a series of cats. I'm excited to see what's next!
Here are some of her drawings

The first one is now hanging on my wall
