Any of you who follow interior design blogs are surely avid readers of La Dolce Vita, Paloma Contreras’ posh Interior Design / Lifestyle blog (she is also the Editor in Chief of the online mag High Gloss)…  and if you’re not on board yet, it’s time to bookmark.  LDV is full of luscious decor and peppered with amazing travel destinations, drool-worthy food to nosh on, and an inspirational quote every week.  So naturally, I am TOTALLY stoked to be featured as today’s guest blogger in Paloma’s “Dream Home” series.  Each week, she has a different designer or blogger step up to the podium and walk you through their own personal Dream House…  here’s a preview of mine:

Nothing particularly edgy or untouchable – just wonderfully cozy and polished interiors.  Check out the whole she-bang here.

Happy Hump Day!

Gilt By Association

Are people SEEING what’s been going on over at Gilt – and One Kings Lane – recently?  Y’all know these two sites, right?  Gilt being the website that offers all kiiiinds of delicious clothing (and jewelry, and travel deals and home decor) for ridiculously good deals.  And One Kings Lane = the home decor cousin of Gilt.  And they are both glorious.

Recently, I don’t know what it is, but these two sites have been on point.  Like, err day I click on both, and lo and behold, there are bundles of goodies to salivate over.  Case in point – these finds purchased by yours truly last week, courtesy of decor goddess Kelly Wearstler:

Clockwise from top left: (1) Kelly. Ms Wearstler if you’re nasty. (2) Silver Disk napkin ring, usually $189 (!) for a set of two, now $45.  (3) Confetti Linen napkin, usually $112 for a set of 4, now $29.  (4) Thistle Linen napkin, usually $125 for a set of 4, now $29.

And below were some goods from this weekend’s Gilt…  Because Memorial Day is upon us and it’s time to WEAR WHITE!:

Clockwise from top left: (1) Vix Swimwear Alice Cotton Eyelet Dress.  Now $69, was $144.  (2) AG Adriano Goldschmied Gamin Flare Jean.  Was $168, now $59.  (3) AG Adriano Goldschmied Stilt Crop Jean.  Was $159, now $59.  (4) L’Agence Silk Crepe Stud Heart Tank.  Was a lot of $, now a lot less $.

Happy start of the week to you all… and happy Gilt-ful shopping!

xoxo,
