Bliss

On the train ride home to visit my parents over the weekend, I decided to splurge and indulge myself in the latest issue of House Beautiful. I am rarely disappointed with the content, articles and spectacular pictorials the magazine usually provides. This issue was no exception.

This kitchen istantly stole my heart. It pulls out all the stops; no corners were cut and every luxury is presented. Yet at the same time it doesn't feel stuffy or unwelcoming. The use of colour and calming accents help make this kitchen truly the centre of the home. This cabinetry, the sink, those big windows; they wrap you up and make you feel like you are in nestled right in France. French, an almost European country at its finest.
Blue and white seems to always create such soothing results.

I have never seen a set of refridgerators like this before! At first I didn't recognize them to be anything more than a set of doors. They blend in seamlessly into the decor and create the appliances into works of art.

Cannot gush enough about how beautiful this kitchen is. Count this issue of HB another favourite of 2010 for me!

Summer's Dark Mistress

There is one colour I feel absolutely rebellious wearing in the summer, and that colour is black. A colour that is an absolute staple in every wardrobe, but especially more of one in the fall and winter months. In the spring/summer months generally you are expected to wear more colours and lighter clothes. Wearing black is a statement during this time, a real pop, a mysterious lover. This is why I love black in the summer, whether it be in a dress, a pair of sexy pumps or even a decadent handbag.

Feast your eyes upon the goodies I found on the Saks Fifth Avenue website. Designer black gems for everyone.


Nanette Lepore, Chloe, Catherine Malandrino


Herve Leger, BCBG


Marc Jacobs, Valentino


Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Jimmy Choo


Prada, Dior, Yves Ste Laurent

Don't forget a touch of black on your toe nails in those peep toes! ;)
