Lonny love


I just love the pink sofa, on the Sep-Oct 2011 cover of Lonny magazine. As always, a fab art wall makes me smile, too. The gold frames look so elegant against the pale grey wall. Top it all off with some graphic black-and-white patterned pillows, and you've got a gorgeous lounge look.

Bonnie & Clyde








 
The first time I watched the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, I remember thinking that Faye Dunaway, as Bonnie, looked absolutely stunning in it, and I almost didn't mind that her character was a total nutter. She just smoulders in every scene. Warren Beatty played her perfectly charming partner in crime, looking dapper in well-cut three-piece suits and fedoras. The glamour and sexiness of Bonnie and Clyde contrasts brilliantly with the violence of the story, inspiring fashion ever since. Definitely one of my all-time favorite films.

I also love the moody song "Bonnie and Clyde", sung by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. You can almost smell the cigarette smoke. Watch the video here.

Copper brings such warmth to a space. For a long time, I was a silver kinda gal. It took me a while to appreciate gold. Now I'm finding myself falling for copper. Maybe because copper's warm tones remind me of autumn leaves, or maybe because it is just a little something different. In any case, there are some wonderful stylish copper designs out there now, and I'm enjoying seeing them. I'm especially enamored by Tom Dixon's copper pendant light (top image). I would love to have one in the Dream House, maybe in the kitchen. What do you think? Are you into the copper trend?

shimmer & shine





I'm loving all the short sequined dresses I keep seeing! Makes me wish I had somewhere fabulous to wear one to. And I love the look of a short sequined skirt with a casual cardigan, or a loose sequined top worn with jeans or a long skirt.
