fresh new year.

its a blur

fancy that

The holidays are here!  We've decked the halls (and little Mette) in Christmas fancies.

What is on everyone's Christmas lists??  I'm still daydreaming about another island escape (those Thai beaches were heavenly...) Until then, I'll be wrapped up in the coziest.

The only time its totally appropriate to match your bedding:

cha cha cha

I think I'll transform my curtains into this amazing dress for a ball (that I should probably start to organize...).

{so true}

gorgeous rugs and dresses

I'm obsessed with this new rug line by fashion super star Christian Lacroix.  Color, movement and drama.  Love it.

my kind of versailles

Chanel always blows me away, but this time it combined a few of my loves into one.  Versailles (hello Marie Antoinette's fabulous opulence), impeccable fashion (Karl's fabulous opulence), and of course, Paris.

So today I felt compelled to share images of Chanel's Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2011 show.  This fantastically surreal set was created in the Grand Palais in Paris, transforming the space into a faux Versailles with a contrasting black and white garden complete with marble fountains and sculptural hedges.

Eat your heart out.

a bright glimpse

It seems like pattern and color and making their way from the hanger to the home. And I'm in love with everything.  First, Diane Von Furstenburg wowed us with her hot homeware collection using bright patterns, colors, and shapes in dishware and bedding.  Spring party planning, anyone?  And then I stumbled upon Anthro's new line of Ikat bedding which now almost has me convinced that Missoni has exploded onto their scene.
