Bring the French Bistro Home

I have been swooning over these French Bistro chairs for like ever!  I think this look is so fresh and classic and it makes me feel like I would be having a french style brunch every day of the week.  More casual than your formal Dining set up.  These chairs and barstools are the perfect thing for your kitchen island and breakfast table.  These will never go out of style!

Trad Home

Neutral Perfection

I came across this photo from Atlanta Homes Magazine a while ago and I just have to say that for me it is one of the most perfect spaces I've ever seen.  I know, that was a bold statement but it is so true. Its a little bit of everything, a little trad, a little boho, a little modern and a lot stylish.  And don't you just love the rustic wood beams?  If I lived here, I'm not sure I would ever leave.

Its a Givaway!!

Yep, that's right!  Its a giveaway!  My last post featured some of the new product photos from Stella & Dot, a fabulous jewelry brand that I represent.  Being a Stylist has a lot of great perks, one being that I wear my favorite jewels everyday.  My favorite looks from the Fall Collection are in Hematite, a really cool and edgy metal that reads very luxe and modern.  

I'm giving one very lucky girl my personal favorite, the Panther Pendant Necklace.

It is so great on its own and even better when you pile on the layers!

Stella & Dot Fall Collection

As most of you know, aside from my Design co., I am also a Stylist for Stella & Dot.  Earlier this month, the Fall 2011 Collection was launched and I have to say, I've never been prouder to represent such an incredible brand.  I started as a Stylist just to have some great jewelry but I have quickly made this business so much more.  I attended the launch and conference (it was not the boring kind you think of but a series of great parties and talks with our amazing leadership) in San Fran and was so inspired by how much this brand is growing.  I am in love with the Fall line and I just have to share my excitement.

I've attached some of my favorite photos...so high fashion and the jewelry is to die!  Stay tuned for a Giveaway!!

Make it a double!

The kitchen below belongs to the amazing fashion duo of Mark Badgely and James Mischka of Badgely and Mischka.  I came across this photo a while ago and fell in love with it for so many reasons.  The most obvious is the double farmhouse sinks.  I mean, is that not genious?!  I'm sure it has a more practical reason like two cooks in the kitchen, his and hers (or his too), one for veggies one for fruit and this list goes on.  I just love it for the pretty factor.  I'll take it....and make it a double!

Other reasons I love this kitchen:  gold hardware, double pendant fixtures, black grout and black island

What a perfect and beautiful kitchen!
