Healing Space

I have been trying to put together my creative thoughts for the past several days... and due to my cloudy thoughts from being under the weather, it seems that all I can conjure up is images of warmth. I feel better just dreaming of cashmere, wool, and cuddling up in front of a warm fireplace.

Enjoy,

Dress Code: Look 1

Okay so my first official stylist board for my chic sistas that want to know what I think looks fabulous..

1. Rag & Bone Silk Long Sleeve Tee

2. Ancient Ways Necklance by Noonday Collection : an amazing company based out of Austin, who's goal is providing jobs that create a pathway out of poverty for families. A stable income means a family is less likely to abandon their child.

3. A.P.C. Rabbit Fur Coat

4. Mulberry Bag

5. Jeremy Laing/ Leather Panel Pant

6. 3.1 Phillip Lim Delia Zip Monk Stap Heel

Feelin' It Friday

I have always loved LC ever since the OC and now I have a little inspiration from her for a great work out! I am not a crossfit girl, but I think I can try a burpee... Going out of town this weekend so I am going to try this as my workout in the hotel!

Raw Beauty

I recently heard a lecture by Mr. Miles Redd, a fabulous designer based out of NY. He said much of his color inspiration comes from artwork as well as his love for vintage fashion drawings.

My inspiration for this post comes from objects and artwork from Obsolete, a fabulous antique store from Venice, CA. In addition, I have mixed in some of my favorite dresses from Marchesa Fall 2012 collection which are to die for.

Enjoy the Weekend!

Fallish

Sometimes the most elegant decor is just simple. These are some of my favorite fall selections from Pinterest so far. 

Some items I found today that complete the inspiration.
