I am not good with photoshop, but I recently learned the basics...hence my first collage. It's barely a collage actually - more like a few photos configured in one file. But for me, it's a collage.

Sorry for the lack of posts. I was busy with finals but now I'm on break for a few weeks and I plan on posting more frequently. A special thank you to my followers who continue to bear with me and my less than consistent posting. Hope everyone's December is off to a great start!

Olivia Palermo is, hands down, one of the best dressed girls out there. She is so tailored without looking too contrived. She pulls off the masculine look better than anyone else and her accessories are always spot-on.

Like her personal style, her apartment is just as fashionable and glamorous, with pops of color and sleek lines (I love the tufted cream chair with pink piping.)

Just finished Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray and I highly recommend it. Wilde writes with wit and humor and is a pleasure to read. The novel is full of memorable quotes...

"It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances." - Wilde's amazing creation, Lord Henry

can't think of a good title

Let me start out by saying that orange has never been one of my favorite colors -- for the most part I think bold oranges look too harsh on me, wash me out, etc; however, when the design is right, orange can be a beautiful, pleasing color. I mean, if I could afford them, I'd love to wear the Halston and Lanvin dresses...and I believe they would look stunning. I guess, for me, it's just a tricky color that demands a very beautiful design in order to look good. It's definitely not your basic black. On a side note, when it comes to interior design, I adore light oranges and peaches, particularly as accent colors.
