Welcome Home...

Typically I stick to all things fashion-related here, but I came across images of perfect home decor and can't stop thinking about them. Before we dive in, I should bring to your attention that I've lived in the same apt for almost two years and still lack a coffee table! Now that we have that confession out of the way lets move on...If/when I own a place in the city, this will be the inspiration.

Maybe I'm still stuck on the neon trend, but who wouldn't want an electric front door...would my roommates be mad if I did this to ours?!

Not that I'll ever own a place with this kind of space, but the idea of having a banquet inspired table, neon stools included, just tickles my fancy. I LOVE to cook and having this much room to have everyone over to break bread is what I dream of...for now I'll continue to host and my friends can eat my culinary couture with their plates in their laps!

I think this is absolutely hilarious.

Here it is, the fashion part of this post. McQueen knuckleduster clutch perched on a shelf between classic literature. Kind of genius--just like McQueen!

The creme de la creme!! A crystal & sconce basketball backboard. If I ever have exposed brick in my bedroom this, without a doubt, will be my headboard...or an eye-catching display in my living room. Gorgeous beyond belief--want it, need it, gotta have it!

Fur The Moment...

Hello long lost friends. I feel as though I have terribly neglected you lately, but work and traveling home for Christmas have kept me away from the keyboard... I can't lie though, it's a been a nice little break not to be permanently glued to a monitor. And in my absence, I acquired yet another fur to add to my arsenal. So without further adieu, I introduce to you, my new 70's fox fur coat!!!!

I'm crazy about the new jacket. I have been longing for a jacket like this for a while so when I unwrapped it on the sun drenched mid 60 degree morning, I was elated. It's not exactly fur wearing weather here in Texas, but that hasn't stopped me from parading around the house and down the drive way in it. Back in my Brooklyn apartment, it will be nestled in the fur closet along side its predecessors!!!! In our apartment there is consistent babble and clamor not only over the fur closet, but about the hunt for the perfect fur blanket or comforter. This morning I was clicking through my daily blog roll and came across this spread of these decadent and luxurious sleeping quarters.

Oh to dream...I can only imagine how warm and bundled these blankets must be. Maybe next Christmas one of these will find their way underneath the tree!!! I hope everyone had a good holiday. Check back soon to see more detailed images of my new jacket! :)

Welcome Home...

Since my return from Peru, I have been battling with the city and a ticking clock to find an apartment. NYC: 4 pts vs Coco Canal: 6pts

It is official, I'm moving to Park Slope, Brooklyn with two of my besties, Shuffle and Chinae, who you've been introduced to here! I'm so excited to move into our new pad and make it feel like home. We are in love with the space and location and for the first time in my New York life I will be living 1: In a brand new apartment, 2: Below the 4th floor! Don't get me wrong, the stairs for the last three and a half years have done wonders for my caboose and legs, but a second floor apartment is a dream come true! Now to the business of decorating.

Yes, it is absolutely necessary for me to have a sheepskin rug in my room. It feels luxurious, telling of my wardrobe, and grown up. This bad boy will only cost $25 at Ikea, granted it's not the largest rug possible, BUT, my idea is to purchase a couple and secure them together.

A sense of humor is the backbone to my life (paired with a roaring laugh) and I want that to come across in my room. I love these skulls with their accoutrements. (I see a DIY project brewing)!

Closet space is always tricky for NY apartments...or maybe I just have a shopping problem. Whatever the culprit, I'm looking for creative ways to store some of my wardrobe goodies. I saw this image on Coco+Kelley and clicked my heels three times!

I'm finally investing in a new sewing machine! I don't want to keep all the parts and accessories tucked away and this is an adorable way to have things on hand but without the clutter!

I can't wait to move in and settle into our new abode. Once everything is mostly settled in, I will post some pictures. Have a great weekend!
