Liv-Chic Boudoir Furniture

I recently stumbled upon liv-chic interiors and vintage inspired boudoir furniture, and I must say... all I want to do is completely redesign my place with all these goodies!!! Albeit the hefty price tags, these stunning pieces can turn a regular flat into a Queens quarter!

Their complete interior design looks like something right out of Carrie's redone place in Sex and the City... vivid and fresh colors, sexy prints and luxurious textiles all come together for a textured and refined modern look.

Want the same look for less? Invest in an interestingly shaped antique love seat or armchair, have it re-upholstered in the luxe fabric of your choice and spray paint the wooden areas something both girly and funky (think white, silver, gold or black for dramatization).

It's really amazing what a small can of spray paint can do for you... freshen up old drab dressers, lamps, bookshelves... you name it! Details and personality can be easily added with stencils and Sharpies... so really you have no excuse!

Get out there and glamorize your living space!

Every goddess needs her castle...
Live it. Love it.

Fashion Note - Sumptuous Fabrics

There are certain fabrics that were created to enhance the femininity, softness and strength of a woman. Fabrics so sumptuous you want to feel their texture against your skin... materials that give such a delicate edge to your natural beauty that they transform you from ordinary to goddess.

Sleeping in silk, cuddled in cashmere, seductive in lace, warmed by fur, comforted in cotton... all these natural fibers bring to mind memories, ideals and fantasies.

What I fail to comprehend is why more women aren't embracing the instant luxury that comes from adorning the body with these textiles! I'm not talking about cotton in the form of denim, lace as a trim on a tank top or faux silk satin polyester pants... I'm talking the real deal ladies and gents!

Real french lace baby dolls and gloves, velvet dresses and top hats, cashmere blend jackets, Egyptian cotton bedding, fur throws for a glamorous night out on the town... The fabric/fiber quality makes a world of difference when compared to their knock-off counterparts.

There is nothing like spoiling your sense of touch with lavish and extravagant offerings :)

As coveted as the delicate and soft may be, there is something so intriguing about adding structure to the mix. Boning and corsetry, a ballerina's performance slippers... leather and ribbon, grommets on satin... the perfect external representation of the inner strength of the woman wearing it. As in life, it's all about the quest to finding the perfect balance of tough and tender.

Indulge in your womanly rights with opulent textures.

Have a beautiful week!

Bringing Home the Bling Bacon

What do I consider to be the most fashion forward move a woman can make?

Buying her own bling!

Ladies, I'm not talking about raiding Forever 21 and coming home with your prized $5 deals (and I ain't knockin' that either - there is a place and time for everything), but there is nothing more satisfying and empowering than buying yourself a completely unnecessary, beautiful, sparkly, expensive object! The kind that rich and powerful New York Tycoons opt for... lavish stones set in cocktail rings, diamond pave earrings, a strand of Tahitian pearls... just because.

The "I love myself" piece that reminds you that you are strong, independent and play the game of life by your own rules! Married, not married, to-be married... doesn't matter - you never need an excuse to spoil yourself - and neither does your man (make sure he knows this ;P).

While I love flowers and chocolates, homemade breakfasts in bed and little secretive surprises, sometimes life calls for a bigger gesture... and who better to treat yourself than you!

When you get there, hold your head high and proud. You got there by yourself and realized something out of nothing!

Girl (Lady) Power!
