Kelly Wearstler: HUE

For anyone who is a fan of Kelly Wearstler, interior design, or even Top Design- Kelly really exhibits her loud sense of design style in HUE, and I would highly recommend this book. Not only will it be a lovely on your coffee table, it will also encourage and inspire you to go beyond beige and take a chance on playing with colour in your space! Kelly's choices are bold, and her vision is eclectic but very regal. You will spend hours browsing through. Blayre my BF got this for me for X-Mas he picked the blue limited addition (so cute) and I LOVE it..... Enjoy!!

Always Stay Graceful,

Photographer: Massimo Vitali

Vitali is one of my favorite photographers, I wanted to share some of his work with you!! These images are so fresh and beautiful, I love the vintage aspects, the colors are amazing and so vivid- and above all -the subjects in each photo seem to be having a lot of fun!!

Check out his site here.

Aren't these Wallpaper prints darling, there is definitely something for every taste!! I also Love the way they have been stylized- it reinterprets the way one would decorate with them I think...

2011: Here We Go!

Okay SO I am back...Finally!!! Here is a recap, I went to Calgary for a week to spend with my family, then we all packed up and went to Jamaica for a week! Spent the New Year there, and now I am back in Toronto!

Jamaica was incredible, the people were amazing so much spirit and personality, the water was so clear I could see my toes and the bottom, and I joked while I was there that my skin color also happens to be the same color as the sand.... No I did not tan!! We drank and danced every night, we ate wonderful food, we laughed A LOT!! When it was done we were all so sad to leave each other, but the time together was such a blessing!!!

Here are some pictures of the last few weeks in Calgary too!!

SO excited about this New Year! Etsy shop coming soon!!!

Always Stay Graceful,
