The Jil Sander show included everything that I love about fashion - beautiful silhouettes, a soothing palette of light pink, lavender, grey and a pop of color here and there. A stunning final presentation for designer Raf Simons.

Inspiration: Dressing up a Mantel
(This gorgeous detailed fireplace really stands out against the floral backdrop)
My good friend is moving into her first apartment here in Brooklyn (I couldn't be more excited), and I am a tad bit jealous because it has a white fireplace with elaborate molding. I have always wanted a white fireplace with moldings. I dream of hanging a large gilded mirror and placing a large bouquet of cherry blossom branches in front. But living in New York, you give a little and take a little - I wouldn't trade our large porch for anything, outdoor space in the New York City area is golden. She has asked for my input on decorating (yeah!), so here are some bits of inspiration to get me started.
What do you dream about having in your home?
(A simple gold frame)
(Layered mirrors - star burst over a large white mirror)
(A geometric white mirror)
(An ornate gold mirror flanked by two vases)
(A black wall provides a stark contrast to the marbled fireplace)
(Intricate molding details and a peacock-like hearth cover)
(Ornate molding is offset by a large basic white mirror)
(Filling a non-working fireplace with wood creates a rustic effect)
(An off-centered mirror and green plants to fill the hearth)
(Or filled with hydrangeas)
(Layered antiqued mirrors)

The Streets are the Runway: Sunny Disposition
The runway action off the streets in Milan was so bright and cheery - from tone on tone red, layered lace in the prettiest of pastels, a kaleidoscope turquoise jacket or my new favorite color combination, red and orange - the streets are where fashion truly comes alive.
