A Royal Wedding


I don't really get all of this Royal wedding hype (unlike a certain one of my sisters), and probably for the best considering it's on at 3:00am EST on a day I'm committed to working two jobs...so there will be no sitting in front of the tv in pajamas with a champagne flute for me.  I do however love this adorable drawing I came across of the The Route of the Royal Wedding Processions through London.  A cute little hand-drawn painting of an event that's destined to be a completely lavish and over-the-top extravaganza.

The things I would do for Khloe Kardashian's shoe closet....  (Love that hers is colour coordinated btw, like a shoe closet version of these bookshelves.)

20 x 200 is one of my favorite websites recently since I'm on a mission to get more art up on the walls at my place.  They sell art in limited edition batches, at different price points depending on size.  The largest batch is of 200 prints and runs $20 for one...hence the name.  Which I'm pretty happy to have discovered, because other than here and Etsy I've been unsuccessful at finding decent, affordable art online...  Any suggestions?

I'm Not Always There When You Call, But I'm Always On Time


I haven't owned a watch in years (who needs one with a cell phone?), but finally decided to get back on the bandwagon after a couple of my sisters got really pretty ones by Michael Kors.  A few months of debating on the MK website later, and I finally picked mine out; a big white face, and a shiny silver band that matches all my Tiffany jewelry so I can chunk it all together on my wrist.  Perfect :)

A Colourful Anniversary

{Gucci F/W 2011, Milan}

Of all the F/W shows this season, to me one stood out head and shoulders above the others - Gucci.  Marking their 90th anniversary, house designer Frida Giannini revealed two major influences: photographer Bob Richardson's works featuring Anjelica Huston (see some here), and musical it-girl Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine. With rich, vibrant colours, glamorous gowns, electric fur stoles, hand-dyed silk flowers and everything from polka dots to patent-leather, Gucci's spectacle was one to remember...a fitting commemoration of 90 years of luxury & style.
