Fashionable Collage

I’m thinking that I should make collages its own category within my blog since I go to them so frequently.  But I can’t decide which parent category to file it under.  Fashion?  Design/Decor?  Art?  They fall under all the above given they’re always a mish mash of my passions in all the above categories.

Anyways, here are my latest colorful collages from the worlds of fashion, decor, and event planning.  Maybe they’ll inspire someone other than me.

And while you’re here, don’t forget to enter my blog’s goody bag giveaway.

Turquoise Collage

If you’ve followed my blog for any time, you know that my passions for event planning, home decor, and fashion often find themselves colliding in the form of blog collages.  To quote, The Sound of Music, “these are a few of my favorite things:”

• boudoir furniture
• repeated collection of frames on a wall
• dessert tables
• Sex and the City fashions

Cupcake Couture

As a continuation from my last post on the utterly expensive fantasy cupcake car, this post is all about cupcake couture.  I’m on the hunt for fashionable edibles.  And by fashionable, I mean fashion designer-themed!  I host regular events for Chanel, Gucci, Prada and the like so I’m looking for new displays, decor and f&b for the fashionable clients.  Here is my latest roundup of inspirational photos that any fashionista would love.

Is anyone else inspired?

My dream is to create a live cupcake couture display with a live model and ballgown made up of cupcakes, frosting color-matched to the party theme -live, edible art performance almost!

FabFinds: Black and White Home Decor

I haven’t done a FabFinds entry in a while so here is a roundup of some home decor fabfinds within the black and white color scheme!

All you princess wannabes out there will want to rest your pretty little heads on this royal pillow. For $39 you can have the tiara on your head that you deserve! This hand-tufted wool pillow is 14″H x 18″W and comes in a crown version for your prince of a boyfriend or husband.

Along the princess theme, here’s a throne chair (that my friend thinks darth vadar belongs in) hmm not sure about that visual but Bergdorf Goodman has similar chairs in a light blue thanks to my favorite designer, Kelly Wearstler.

I have memories of my mom being so happy when my dad finally let her have a sheep chair.  Yea, I said sheep. chair.  The ottoman was a furry replica of a baby sheep and I guess my mom really really wanted to have a soft place to rest her legs?!.  When it came home, my brother and I treated it like our new pet (while making fun of my overgrown kid of a mom).  Now I see this modern version and am falling in love!

I guess I got the same ridiculous gene ‘cuz I’m loving these sheep by Sam Brown.

Have you seen those pictures of people who have bravely transformed their wall into a chalkboard wall with some chalkboard paint?  it’s a fun way to add a little interactivity to a room.  Some use it for daily reminders, others use it for conversation pieces and a party focus.  Here’s a more glam chalkboard for $36 from one of my favorite sites, SeeJaneWork.com.

If you don’t have a fireplace but love the charming look, here’s a black shelf that Oprah (and I) love.

And that’s it for my black and white home decor FabFinds roundup.  Tell me what you think!

Happy Chic – Jonathan Adler Decor

It’s a dreary, rainy day outside today so I thought I’d post a cheerful decor collage from one of my favorite NY designers, Jonathan Adler. He’s the interior designer behind Barbie’s Malibu dream house that I blogged about earlier.

Jonathan calls his style, “happy chic.”  And “happy chic” it is!

These pictures were all taken by me in his NYC showroom (of which he now has 12 across the U.S).  I love the geometric prints, the cheerful clash of colors and Jonathan’s quirky take on life, art, design and decor.

I just checked out his website and learned that he now allows fans to post their own pictures to show off what they’ve done with their purchased Jonathan Adler products.  I love what customer, Greg Natale did with his bedroom and bathroom pictured below.

Aren’t the JA mirror accents a fabulous contrast to this otherwise, sparse modern bathroom?

You know me, I love black and white pairings.  The above mix of geometric patterns works because of the dedication to a minimal 3color palette and variation in pattern size.

And in case you didn’t already know, Jonathan Adler also now offers free, downloadable wallpapers for you crackberry addicts!
