I was thinking about how to lighten up my wardrobe for spring while staying warm in the cold weather. Adding white accents to my grey pieces seems to be the ticket. Hopefully this will inspire you as well. All images via tumblr

New York is a wet and slushy mess today. I thank my lucky stars that my morning commute is from my bed to my desk. I still can’t completely escape the grey skies and black and white landscape though. Here’s how it’s inspiring me today. Place de la Madeleine – Rue de la Paix Paris […]
I took a quick trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art this week and happened to walk past the Gridiron Greats exhibition. The museum has a selection of vintage football cards on display in honor of the first ever Super Bowl played in New York. Even if you don’t like sports, I think you can […]

When you work on a book, you realize during the process that sometimes certain elements don’t work or you don’t have enough pages to include everything you had originally intended. Lucky for me, I knew that I would be able to feature these interviews and workspace photos on the blog. While we did feature photos […]
I sometimes go to stores not just for shopping but for inspiration. Often the paint colors and decoration borrow from home design so it makes sense. The new Chloe store in Soho is one of my new inspiring stores. The pale grey exterior had me at hello but the brass rails, shelves, and light fixtures […]

Even though Pantone has declared Tangerine Tango the color for 2012, I still think yellow is going to be just as big. From shades resembling an egg yolk to pale lemon, it’s bright and cheerful yet chic. Yellow and black usually reminds me of a bubble bee or Steelers uniform, but it’s starting to grow […]
My love of orange is no secret. Especially burnt orange. I saw a space so beautifully decorated with the color yesterday that it inspired me to put together another little compilation inspiration post. Enjoy. All photos from tumblr
One of my favorite things in the world are inspiration or mood boards. Looking at them is like peeking into someone’s creative mind. Vogue posted some during seasons past which I posted here and here. For Spring 2012, Vogue.com featured inspiration from not only New York but also London fashion week. Definitely click to enlarge […]
A few readers asked me about my bulletin board so I thought I would take a minute to explain. It is actually an old one that came from my childhood bedroom. I covered it in batting and then attached fabric with a staple gun. When a board has ribbons, it’s usually referred to as an […]
In between changing my address everywhere and fighting with Time Warner Cable about why as an existing customer I don’t qualify for Triple Play, I am mentally redecorating my new apartment. What’s funny is that I think the owner chose me to rent the place the minute I told him that I was an interior designer. He […]
