Give your house a face lift with a new coat of paint…don’t skimp on paint, the quality makes all the difference. Go for Farrow & Ball. I love 268 CHARLOTTE'S LOCKS ORANGE, 74 CITRON YELLOW AND 253 DRAWING ROOM BLUE

// INSPIRE // Theyskens’ Theory Suit as interpreted by me while watching Charlie Sheen on Dateline

March 5, 2011

saw this pretty THEYSKENS' THEORY suit in NY TIMES MAGAZINE last week…

jacket $595 at barneys /// pants $390

think i like the KOKIN HAT best

$395 kokinnenewyork.com

 the whole ensemble actually comes in black.  

but when i painted it i got all funky and made it pink.

i was watching charlie sheen on Dateline as i was sketching and he made me, well, sketchy. 

so this is what happened:

so so pretty. FIORE DESIGNS. custom florals, event design & little luxuries – Abbot Kinney, Venice

my happiest day in venice is when i lose an hour or so here.

fiore designs

smelling flowers, touching jewelry, browsing adorable gifties, smelling soaps and candles, salivating over exotic dark chocolates from lands far away, teasing my daughter with a hand crafted stuffed rabbit and inevitably coming home with one of each.

(and the owner/designer Jennifer is one of the coolest chics I know)
