Inspiring Interiors - Colorful Modern

I nearly gasped when I saw this apartment, in particularly the living room.  The subdued and soothing bluish/periwinkle tones are just fantastic.   I also love how bright fuchsia is added into the second photograph creating a more modern feel among such classical moldings.  I tend to steer clear of modern design, but there is something about this that I just like. I am only questioning the tile bed frame, something doesn't really say comfort, but I guess that is modern for you. 

Thank you for all of your kind wishes yesterday, seriously they mean so much!

A Blogging Anniversary and Chocolate Chip Cookie 'Cupcakes'

I can't believe that I started blogging one year ago today - gosh how time flies.  Little did I know what an outlet this little space would become for me. One thing that blogging has taught me is that I have a plethora of interests and passions in life that I think were laying dormant for many years.  I have always had ideas floating around in my head and had a sensitivity and liking towards beautiful things. Luckily this is the spot where I have been able to put them all together and I am just so lucky that I have found an audience to listen. Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to where things can go from here. In order to celebrate this occasion I made a very simple and easy Chocolate Chip Cookie 'Cupcakes' and topped it with vanilla bean ice cream and of course a candle, in order to celebrate the occasion. Continue for directions...

I Love This Look: The Transitional Trench

I hope that everyone had a fabulous Labor Day weekend!  As we all unoffically bid adieu to summer, I am looking forward to transitioning my wardrobe into something suitable for the cooler months ahead. Besides a leather jacket, another great transitional piece is the classic trench coat.  A trench coat always makes any outfit look complete. I love how it is styled here with a skirt that hits above the knee and boots.  Is a trench coat an essential piece in your closet?
