A Neat Accent Chair

2009-12-19T19:10:00.000-08:00

Pretty neat accent chair and sitting spot.
1. Love the tufting and nail head details, as well as the actual shape of the chair.
2. The Madeleine Weinreb rug is pretty fantastic.
3. Love the pop of red with the garden stool.
4. The pharmacy lamp adds an element of antique-y, making it stand out even more, since its not on the funky page.
5. The black bench with the striped pillow
6. The dark wood floors arae beautiful.

Lovely.

If I were snowed in....

2009-12-19T18:36:00.001-08:00

If I were snowed in (like most of New York, I would watch the Twilight DVD and cuddle up with this blanket and the Yedi tea for one (but fill it up with hot chocolate!)

Vintage Clip-On Earrings

2009-12-19T18:20:00.000-08:00

Well, I rarely talk about my life on my blog - its more of just a journal for me of the things I like.... Anyway, I recently started a new job, its actually a dream job and I love what I am doing - but I must say, its hard and demanding and by the end of the day I am absolutely exhausted. So, with that being said - today I decided that I would do my absolute favorite thing. Go thrift shopping in Long Beach. It is my favorite alone time activity. I space out, think about absolutely nothing, and don't answer my phone or check my BBM or texts. I zone out. It's amazing.

So, of course I hit up my favorite spots. I scored some great finds - and even got these 3 pairs of clip-on vintage earrings (at less than $2 a pair!). I love how glam they are. It's funny because they actually make me think of my grandma because she only wears clip-ons as she has a fear of getting her ears pierced.

Anyway - enough babble.

Two Lovely Rooms

2009-12-16T23:28:00.000-08:00

These two rooms are not necessarily my style, but I really, really like them. The colors are beautiful and rich. I love all the different layers of color and fabrics. I could stare at these two rooms for a while. Very intriguing. image via www.hgtv.com

Mid Century Christmas Decor

2009-12-16T23:13:00.000-08:00

A Mid-Century cool breakfast nook glammed up for the holiday in style!

Label Whores

2009-12-15T19:55:00.000-08:00

Well, nothing says a label whore like a luxe Hermes Blanket. I am completely obsessed with my Hermes cuff I got a couple of summers ago, I think an Hermes blanket would be a great gift for me next. The baby blue and green one would be perfect in my bedroom! ;-)

Holiday Gift Idea

2009-12-15T19:47:00.001-08:00

This is such an original gift idea. It's Table Topics and its a really cool deck of cards filled with great questions like: who is your favorite celebrity and why? What makes a person a success? If you could choose the name of your home street what would it be? This would be an awesome hostess gift, or for that person on your list that you have no clue what to get them! $25 at www.tabletopics.com

A Bad-&%$ Kids Room

2009-12-14T00:13:00.000-08:00

Can you imagine being the little girl that gtrs to sleep and dream under this electric fuschia bed each night!? This is so fun and daring. I love how this feels like this bed came out of some French Castle and modernized with the bright color to bring it into the 21st century. Brilliant!!!

I saw this and really liked it and thought I would share it with you!

Not sure where I found this picture but I absolutely love it. It's got the suzani printed ottoman (obvious sign I'd be in love) and the flokati rug, and right now... I am in a purple phase. This has a clean funky vibe. Very cool.

Christmas Trees are Getting Quite Original

2009-12-13T09:34:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I was driving past a spot where they sell Christmas Trees and there were sooo many pretty white, gold, pink, black, and purple trees for sale. I couldn't believe it. You really can get creative with the decor of your tree. I really would love to have a Christmas tree of my own. Funny though, several years ago when I lived with my best friend, Christine, she got a Christmas tree for our place. It stayed in the house with us until Valentines Day. I wasn't thrilled. Hahaha!!

This one above is my favorite!!

Winter Means Hot Chocolate and Coffee

2009-12-12T13:23:00.000-08:00

Aren't these sick? I would love to have these for cold days (like today) where its raining and going outside doesn't sound like much fun.... And the only reasonable thing to do is watch Twilight and make a cup of coffee. These are designed by Kelly Wearstler for Pickard.

Alright - so I am on an Amanda Nisbet kick. She has insane style and she includes all of my faborite elements... gold, garden stools, ikat.... She rocks. I'm really digging that rug too!

Designer Crush - Amanda Nisbet

2009-12-10T19:04:00.000-08:00

Well I have a new design crush. Actually - I have seen a lot of her work before, but had no idea all of these rooms were designed by the same person -- Amanda Nisbet. She has an amazing sense of color and quirkiness. She's really good. Really really good!

A Jar Full of Glittered Dreidels

2009-12-09T21:27:00.000-08:00

Love this! If I were to have a Hanukkah party, I would definitely do this. Its soooo easy.

An Organic-Glamo-rama Table Setting

2009-12-09T19:10:00.000-08:00

Here is a beautiful table set by Kelly Wearstler. Her style has been scaring me a little bit lately, I gotta be honest.... But this is absolutely insane! It's glamorous and organic, and it feels so rich, and the artwork hung on the fabric wallpaper is beautiful too. What was she thinking with her Malibu home? I'll let it slide - she is still idol worthy to me!

From the Personal File...

2009-12-09T19:07:00.000-08:00

If you know my style - I like eclectic, and interesting. Pieces that have humor. I loooove this living room designed by Kishani Perara (sorry I have no clue where I saw these pics!). Each piece in the room is so distinct and holds its own so well. I am absolutely in love! Very very cool.

Green, Black and White Bedroom.

2009-12-08T18:56:00.000-08:00

I am 100% jocking in this bedroom. Super beautiful. I haven't seen anything like it. I kind of wish I had a lace or crochet black blanket to put over my white plain bedding up against my pale blue bedroom walls.... hmmm... something to contemplate.

source: unknown. Sorry.

Soooo Pretty!

2009-12-01T20:10:00.000-08:00

Soo sooo pretty!!

Green Holiday Decor

2009-11-29T19:57:00.000-08:00

Themed holiday decor: Green! So pretty, fresh, crisp and clean. Kinda wish Jewish people did this to their homes for the holiday.... I am really thinking about it! LOL.

Dog Bed Duvet Covers

2009-11-29T19:47:00.000-08:00

My dog absolutely loves his bed. It's this huge round dog bed that's for like a 75 pound dog, but my Lincoln is a cocker spaniel --- so he really gets to stretch out on that thing! I didn't like the cover it came with, so I had 2 covers made with zippers so they could be thrown in the washer any time. So, now 4 years later I have come across Molly Mutt, duvet covers for dog beds and they come in some awesome and fun prints. Check it out : www.mollymutt.com

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I am so thankful for so many things! I hope you are with your loved ones. I wish you all the best and have a great long weekend.

Love,
Hallie

I am researching my New Years Outfit!

2009-11-24T21:56:00.000-08:00

I have started the search for a New Years outfit, mind you I still am not completely sure of what my plans are, but that's not stopping me from planning.

I am a BIG fan of short skirts and short dresses. I wasn't blessed with a lot of height.... so whatever will elongate my legs and make me feel taller is all the better. I am leaning towards interesting hem lines, draping, ruffles and glitz. Here are the current contenders (not in any order):
Cynthia Rowley skirt @ www.shopbop.com

Bailey 44 @ www.revolveclothing.com

Foley + Corinna @ www.shopbop.com --- I wish this skirt wasn't white though....

BB Dakota @ www.shopbop.com

LaRok @ www.shopbop.com

BB Dakota @ www.shopbop.com

Nanette Lepore @ www.shopbop.com -- Honestly, I have personal issues with the brand, but this skirt is pretty cool.
