Inspiring Work with Isabel Quiroga

Isabel Quiroga work space 1

I am always collecting photos of things that inspire me.  This isn’t limited to the fashion realm, but is encompasses anything that strikes my fancy. Lately, I have been obsessed with workspaces.  When we moved to Chicago I vowed to have a productive workspace up and running.  After all, I do work from home and… [Read More...]

A Little Bit of Home Décor

1

Our living room is constantly transforming.  Details that make it more personal. I would describe it as contemporary organic (—or something equally sophisticated).  Here is a look at some of the elements… This bowl served as the reference for the living/dining room’s color scheme. A cozy throw over an armchair against semi sheer drapery. This… [Read More...]

One More For Missoni

Missoni 1

This was inevitable.  I knew it was coming.  You knew it was coming.  We all I knew it was coming.  I mean, we already went here and here.  So I am going to stop avoiding and instead get down to business. The Missoni for Target lookbook is here.  All 400 pieces ranging from kids clothing… [Read More...]

Beautiful Boudoirs

Someone I know is moving into a new apartment and is very excited about the prospect of turning her extra room into a grand dressing room (yes— she works in the fashion industry!).  Needless to say, I am insanely jealous.  Okay, maybe jealous is a bit extreme, but I have spent the last several nights… [Read More...]

Work Room

industrial-gears

(LAST DAY TO ENTER OUR LUCID NEW YORK COCKTAIL RING GIVEAWAY) The other day Mary Jo of Trust Your Style shared several images of industrial work/live spaces.  Ever since I read the piece and looked at the photos I couldn’t help but be slightly obsessed with the idea of such a space.  So, I figured… [Read More...]

Playing Outside

Anthropologie "Knotted Melati Hanging Chair" ($498)

The weather here in LA has, and is forecasted to be crazy, beautiful all week.  As in, while you read this I will be laying on the beach.  You should be wildly jealous of me… WILDLY.  All that to say: I am kind of obsessed with outdoor living.  As previously mentioned, I do not have… [Read More...]

Under The Stars

With the temperatures warming up, (slowly in some places!) my mind starts to drift to the great outdoors.  And while I love the sunshine of the day, what I am really longing for are those evenings where no jacket is necessary.  You know, when there are lightning bugs flitting through the air and it is… [Read More...]

Sunday Brunch

I am really enjoying the weather in Southern California right now and it seems the rest of the Northern Hemisphere is also moving into spring.  It is so great to get outside and spend time in nature.  It’s kind of like coming out of hibernation with friends as well.  Suddenly everyone is feeling a lot… [Read More...]

In Preparation For Spring

Image from Desire to Inspire.

In a couple of weeks my mom is coming to visit.  This is exciting, because I love my mom, but the thought of an impending visitor has me wanting to make some touch ups to my home.  And with spring just around the corner, what’s better than a punch of color?  The only thing is,… [Read More...]

Furnishing Finds

Random Base Side Table ($149).

I love décor.  And while it would be nice to be able to own completely one of kind pieces, on my budget that just isn’t realistic.  Fortunately, so many of the larger home design stores are making pieces that would look good in any home.  Yes, of course there are still pieces that just seem… [Read More...]
