My favorite gift to give (and receive) is by far, jewelry! From my little niece, my fashionista-bestie, or to my elegant grandma, you can never go wrong with gifting a gorgeous necklace or a pair of sparkly earrings! Jewelry is such a personal and thoughtful gift, and I’d like to share how I scored some great jewelry deals on eBay this season!
“Did you know that 80% of all merchandise sold on eBay is new?”
I’m all about wearing leather – real or faux. It’s the perfect transition fabric that you can sport from Summer to Fall with ease – and it’s super sexy! Synonymous with cowboys, biker gangs and rock legends, leather pants will inject your closet with some rebellious spirit – and they’re surprisingly wearable, too.
“A symbol of rebellion, they enjoyed a renaissance in the ’50s when they became part of the ‘Greaser’ uniform, and again in the ’70s as the go-to choice for rock’n’roll and punk royalty.”
The colorful Fall is in full swing! This cozy season of astonishing nature beauty, pumpkin everything, and blanket evenings snuggling a warm hot chocolate deserves to be celebrated. Another thing I absolutely love about Fall… FASHION WEEK!
“Add an air of heritage chic to your wardrobe next season by nodding to the tweed trend. Marc Jacobs played with textures, styling oversized tweed coats with leather skirts.”
I have visited and lived in many amazing places and cities all around the world, but it may not come as a big surprise to you that I left my heart in New York City. One of the factors that destines why I fall in love with a place, is the history and the architecture behind the buildings (which is why I don’t love the suburbs because there is little to nothing beautiful or remotely special about anything there… Hello soccer moms, freeways and badly dressed people). When I travel and explore new places, I’m searching for originality, extravagance and beauty. Design is like a time capsule. It captures the aspirations of the moment during which it was made. I’m obsessed with historic design because it tells a visual story of our human experience.
“Every era had its own look. Turn-of-the-century aesthetics show SF’s struggle with the advancements and losses of industrialization”
I love MacKenzie-Child’s iconic black and white styles, their pieces add so much elegance to my home! Black and white mixes so well with metallics and seasonal colors such as orange and red. The use of black and white in decorating creates such a stunning and dramatic mood, and the combination of these two simple colors can truly maximize your decorating statement!
“Using the color black adds a focal point of color that grounds, anchors, and adds a sophisticated look to a room”
When you think about iconic New York hotels, it’s hard to beat The Plaza Hotel. The Plaza opened its doors in 1907, amid a flurry of impressive reports describing it as the greatest hotel in the world. Located at Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, this luxury hotel was constructed in the most fashionable residential section of New York City. Kings, presidents, ambassadors, stars of stage, screen and sports, as well as business executives and travelers from all parts of the world have gathered and stayed at The Plaza.
“An homage to eighties video gaming culture, the Guccy print draws inspiration from the SEGA logo—a fixture in the colorful arcades and coin-op game rooms of the time”
