I am a life long horse lover!

When I was younger I rode horses- I can honestly say this will always be my one true passion in life. I would love to own a small farm one day and have horses in my backyard. Until that day arrives I may have to settle for boarding a horse near my home. Seriously contemplating...

Keep it Chic

Do you ever come across a blog that you read from beginning to end in one sitting? This blog had that affect on me yesterday. They discuss art, interiors, photography, horses and Manolo Blahniks. The writer's of this blog work for Vogue and Harper's Bazzar. Does it get better than that?

Kelly Hoppen - My Favorite Designer of all time!

Kelly Hoppen is in one word - Fabulous! Her style is zen - no-clutter - minimalistic - perfection. She started her career at age 16 and has been working as a designer for 33 years. What was I doing at 16? She was born in South Africa and now lives in London. She is the stepmother of actress Sienna Miller and is rumored to be working with Kate Middleton on her new home with Prince William - Please let it be true! 

  


I love her books and her style!
 

She is 51 - WOW!
 

She loves taupe - I love taupe. Does that make us sisters?

Snow - Over it!

My new mirror from Scott's - I am a happy girl!

I have been looking for a large architectural salvage piece for my kitchen. I went to Scott's on Saturday and found the perfect piece. It's a church window that was converted into a mirror. Big thank you to the girl's - Emily, Jen, Corey and Brittany - for being patient with me during the indecisive phase. Can't wait to go back to Scott's next month...
