Designer Home - Nate Berkus

Ok, I know it will be featured on many a website but I am loving Nate's new his own Manhattan reno 

and wanted to share ...

How dreamy is that bookcase and book collection

Living Space Before :

What a great blank canvas

Living Space After :

 

 

 

Kitchen Before :

 

Kitchen After :

Adore the window that separates living and kitchen

I've so missed seeing Nate on Oprah : (

He has such a great eye and ability to put things together.

He gives a room character with the items he places in the space but it doesn't feel cumbersome.

You can read more about it here

Have a great weekend everyone

Photography Love

Now I tell you, this is the thing I love about Pinterest. 

I came across this beautiful image that someone I follow had pinned on one of their boards.

Gorgeous right? Can't believe someone gets to actually work here!
So I clicked on the image and it took me to the site where the picture originated from.

It was a photographer whose work, primarily weddings was just stunning.

So I kept flipping through and thought when (??) I get married,

I would love this photographer to record the day for us but I just bet that she lives overseas.

I kept looking through and no, she's Australian ... 

but wait it gets even better ... 

she's from Perth - her studio is even in the same neighbourhood that I live in! 

Love how pinterest can connect you when you don't expect it. 

So with my little story, I am compelled to share with you some beautiful images from photographer

I post it purely because I genuinely love the work and simply love to spread the word**

A Fashionable Wednesday - Marissa Webb

Spring 2013 has been the season that ex J Crew Head of Women's Design, 

Marissa Webb launched her first solo line. 

I think she put together some really cute pieces, nothing too controversial but also not boring. 

I liked the combination of pops of colour in chic casual, cool pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

So, what's your verdict??

Celebrity Home - Carolyn Murphy

Such a sweet space for a Supermodel, Carolyn Murphy.

This is actually her recently sold Brentwood home. 

It's a beautiful Spanish style home, perfect for LA.

The house which was recently sold was listed at $2,995,000, 

has 3 bedrooms and 3.1 bath.

I like it, it looks like it would have a really homey and comfy feel to it.

Yep, I'd add this to the list of homes I'd happily move into!

A Fashionable Wednesday - Emmanuelle Alt

Those who work with me can see that this is the style I {try to} adapt when attending work meetings. 

Skinny black pants (preferably rolled up a little), a simple top and blazer.

Now I'm not saying that I'm as fashionable as the Editor-in-Chief for Vogue Paris but 

Emmanuelle Alt has such a great style formula that works, and works well at inspiring me ...

♥  this whole outfit, especially the coat

How chic is her daughter Francoise , shy but chic

Did I tell you how much I love this coat??

And to just strengthen the style genes in the family even more,
 her husband Frank Durand is the Artistic Director for Isabel Marant !

Beautiful on the outside ...

In the modern sense ...
