The perfect When your Pal goes Bi Coastal Gift or Moving gift.











Last night I said goodbye to a few friends and one of them gave me the perfect Bi Coastal gift:  A necklace with an Apple and the state of California on it. In her note she told me that she will be happy when I toss the California and only wear the apple! Needless to say I LOVED it!!!!  Maya Brenner has every state and a huge Celebrity Following and I am touched beyond! Comes in Gold with or Without Diamonds

Foyer Makeover ..The Importance of a good light fixture!

This is a perfect example of the importance of light fixtures! I am so impressed by designer  Lauren Liess's  Foyer Before and After Love the idea of putting the framed sketches all the way to the ceiling.  My weekend project is to  go through every image of her blog Pure Style Home


The Before - EWWWWWW



4-feet high Minka- Lavery caged lantern from Bellacor works with the frames. (she got it for around $200 on sale!)

3 Sleeper Sofas Chic Enough

I am not a fan of the sleeper sofa mostly because there aren't many cute ones but  for the new Cali rental(which is totally furnished )  I have to buy one for the convertible den  These are my top three - Which should I pick.?  Oh and BTW - would HAVE to change the color of the MGBW - I am not a beige girl. 


Crate & Barel $ 1899 - LOVE this Green

Pottery Barn Navy Linen  $1899

Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams 

$19 Curtains I would hang in my home!

Everyone always asks me what the quickest way to make your apartment look better and my answer is this - 1. Paint.  2. Light Fixtures and 3. Window treatments.  Although I love colored curtains and even more patterned ones - they get old quick so I always recommend White which looks modern chic and flawless.

I Love Bryn Alexandra not just because she is the sweetest human in the blogosphere but because she inspires me every day! In todays blog she showed these Ikea Drapes for $19.99










My bedroom Shade by the Shade Store  it is in white linen with a blackout shade attached  found and installed by Billy Cotton




My Den.. bought the curtains at Pottery Barn   and Billy Cotton put the trim on top


I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Curtain Rod from Restauration Hardware - I used it in My livingroom
