<\/a><\/p>\nMY BEDROOM<\/strong>. It continues to slowly come together. I have always said that to me, a bedroom should feel like a lofty cloud, it should be a total refuge and that is what my bedroom has become. I just love the way its coming out. I just gave my chairs to be reupholstered with that beautiful new fabric and had my velvet pillows done, so the finishing touches are in the works. I still need some great art for the walls but as I typically do, I will take my time until I find just the right thing.<\/p>\n This beautiful Beacon Hill fabric will be applied to three existing chairs…..cannot wait! This is one of the velvet pillows.<\/p>\n Love the simple cream velvet with pale blue\/gray grosgrain ribbon detailing…. They look perfect on my slipper chairs <\/p>\n BERKS<\/strong>. Huh? You don’t know what a berk is??? No worries, I made it up…..lol. Its my new name for “blogging perks”. I never thought that I would be sent as many fun gifts as I continue to get. Everything from gifts for Teddy to loads of books (many amazing coffee table books) to samples of things, to amazing skin care! I never say no and let me tell you……I have discovered some incredible products as a result.<\/p>\n Got in a bevy of amazing books…..love that!!<\/p>\n Both of these books might I say are fantastic! I love? Thom Filicias’s work and the Staircases book is a total work of art.<\/p>\n I recently corresponded with someone who works for La Prairie, the uber exclusive Swiss skincare company. I had always wanted to try their famed Caviar cream and lo and behold, look at what she sent me! Needless to say I having an absolute blast playing and my skin has never looked better!! Thank you, thank you and thank you! I am a believer!<\/p>\n SPRING FLOWERS<\/strong>. I love all of my new faux flowers, which frankly are some of the best I have seen but I also like and very much still enjoy buying real ones too though not quite as often:) I got a bunch of beautiful pink blooms and a little ivy and spruced up one of my favorite very large antique dough bowls, it now graces the center of our breakfast room table for a little breakfast room cheer!<\/p>\n And a few of my faux arrangements…<\/p>\n If you want to see my faux flowers online click here!<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n INSPIRED ART.<\/strong> I really love when I hear from my readers.

I am kind of obsessed with this darling place….and see they are starting to prop up in some of my favorite spots! First found them on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles, really liked it, it’s organic, aesthetically right up alley and everything we had was really good. I have been to two of them in the last week, one of my sons block in NYC and the other in Greenwich. Casual, cool and a “feel good” kind of place, you know how when you walk into Starbucks you automatically feel just a little hipper, well this has that same effect in an unexplainable way..kind of makes me feel like I am in a Nancy Meyers movie:) Love the way they are decorated……we sure could use one in my neck of the woods!!

I have done a little spring cleaning myself lately and cannot wait to permanently put away my heavy down coat, scarves and gloves. I like to add fun jewelry pieces to a spring\/summer wardrobe, they can make even a simple plain outfit fun and interesting.? I found some really cute things lately….and a few in very unsuspecting places! Here are a few of my finds…..<\/p>\n Found these amazing jewelry pieces at Banana Republic…have to say their line is pretty amazing and just getting better. These necklaces which by the look very expensive were 70.00 and I got 30% off!!<\/p>\n II love this colorway with all black, all white or a neutral colored outfit This is a great color I can see this with an all white outfit for summer…<\/p>\n And these bracelets were all fabulous….<\/p>\n Jack Rogers…..my closet is filled with them, I love the look, they go with everything and they are available in a bevy of colors. Here are some newer styles I plan to get this season…. <\/p>\n RESULTS FROM MY POLL.<\/strong> I really enjoyed reading over the results from my poll last week which centered around my online shop, the findings were so interesting and enlightening so many thanks to all 500 of you who participated!!
