happy happy halloween

Halloween has always been one of my favorite times of the year...maybe because my birthday is a few days before...whatever it is, I am always looking forward to this time of the year. I had many Halloween parties growing up and love decorating, baking and dressing up! This is the first year ever that I am not dressing up though...between school, work and everything else I just don't have the time (kinda makes me sad). But there is always next year! Happy Halloween and hope you have fun! And thank you for all the birthday wishes on Friday!

fall nails

I am a firm believer in changing your nail polish colors when the seasons change...pale pinks, sheer whites and even some shades of red do seem to work year round though! I couldn't wait for Fall so I could start wearing my very favorite dark colors again (Chanel black pearl is what I am currently wearing and it truly looks like a dark pearl)! What are your favorite Fall/Winter colors? Or do you wear bright colors all year long?

rich navy

Navy blue velvet looks so rich...doesn't it? And what better time than the Fall for warm rich colors? I am completely in love with the rich blue velvet headboard in the first bedroom...the whole room is perfection. Feels like you could just curl right up in that room for a longgg time (just what I need right about now)! And how about gorgeous navy velvet heels? Honestly, I am not usually drawn to velvet shoes (more often suede) but the shoes in the last picture are really making me rethink that...and I know I wouldn't say no to blue velvet Louboutins !! Do you have any navy in your house...better yet, navy blue velvet?

bathing beauties

Could these bathrooms be any more glam? I really don't think so...and know I certainly would not mind waking up and getting ready in any one of these sparkly spaces (actually Im pretty sure it would make me enjoy getting ready a whole lot more)! And how amazing are the floors in the second, fifth and sixth photos? I can only dream of floors like these at this point...one day ! I think natural light is a major part of all of these bathrooms as well. What is your bathroom like?

faux spring

After a whirlwind visit with my mom and a very action packed weekend its hard to get back into the swing of things but I don't really have much of a choice! We had a wonderful time and I was thrilled she was here to celebrate my birthday a week early! I am quite drawn to these bright Spring colors even though its the middle of Fall...you wouldn't be able to tell though because of the 90 degree weather Los Angeles has been having. When will Fall really be here? I am truly ready for boots and leather jackets! Hope your weekend was fabulous.

desk design

I have been thinking about my office again recently...it kind of got put on the back burner for a while after I made some progress but now I feel like its time to show my little office some love once again. And I am very excited because next week a new iMac will be sitting on my desk so I really really want to have a pretty and functioning workspace. I mainly need to figure out my artwork situation and sort through accessories and add in some new little things as well. Here are some gorgeous (white) desks inspiring me. Any suggestions for cute desk accessories?

pretty bits

My wonderful mom is in town and there is lots of fun to be had in the real world (as opposed to the blogging world) so I am going to keep it sweet and short ! Hope you don't mind. Of course I wont leave you without a mix of pretty pictures to stare at! Im pretty sure I could stare at that Celine bag all day (definitely a favorite of mine) and how about that black and white striped room in the second to last photo. Hope your Thursday is fabulous!
