Floral Fancy

I hope that everyone had a fabulous weekend! It was a busy weekend here filled with projects for the blog, a wedding that I worked at with Tamra and Gabrielle at the Plaza Hotel (those ladies are talented) and finished the weekend with a trip to the Smorgasburg in DUMBO.  The weather was nice, but spring is still trying to make it's way into the area and it looks like it will, finally - the weather is supposed to be in the 70's this week (perfect prep for our trip to Curacao, we leave Friday!).

I am excited because this week is Flower Week on Heart of Gold & Luxury.  I will be bringing you inspiration from one of my favorite things in this world, flowers.  I am starting with a bouquet of floral items that have caught my eye as of late.   I hope that everyone has a great week!

Peruvian Influence

Happy Friday! This week seemed very long, perhaps it was because there was a remaining winter chill in the air (Are we done yet? Please!) and because next week at this time we will be on our beach vacation! Anyways, I was flipping through the April issue of Paris Vogue and was really inspired how the entire issue was dedicated to Peru. I have never visited that county but it is on my list of places to go.  This is just one of the editorials shot by Mario Testino featuring Kate Moss. Isn't it fabulous? I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Inspiring Work Spaces: Floral Designer Amy Merrick

 I absolutely adore the work of floral designer Amy Merrick.  Her stunning arrangements have the ability to really create a magical and ethereal feeling, whether it be romantic or somewhat contemplative and moody.  I recently came across her sunny Greenpoint, Brooklyn studio photographed by the the talented  Jennifer Causey.    I love howbher space has exposed brick, reclaimed wood and how her floral vessels are displayed on a shelf.  Continue for more...
