Viv on the Streets

...returning again and again to theses photography’s of the always so chic and smiley Viviana Volpicela, assistant fashion editor in Voque, inspired by her brilliant mix of colors and patterns. Excellent style! Loving the nude color palette with the plastic chain bracelets as a modern touch.. and what about the polka dot and leopard combo? Ah-MAZING! OK..i know the difference between want and need, and I definitely NEED those shoes and bracelets in my wardrobe..

Can’t Stop Staring…

Inspirational spaces: Ash and Leandro

If you are looking for inspirational spaces you are looking at the right architecture and design.  Ash and Leandro’s design are original, modern, comfortable looking and not too conceptual. LOVE how they use the white wall contrast to enhance each piece and how color makes each room more fun and exciting! If you take a look in some of their photos, there is always and element of whimsy and humor that makes each room a little more fascinating. I got to admit…I’m a FAN… 

what’s your favorite room from these designs?

November Morning…

 The mornings are definitely getting chillier around here, but as long as the sunshine is out I supposed is not that bad. It’s much easier to wake up with morning and get ready with sunlight streaming through the windows…{SIGH} …getting ready for work, I got this inspirational photo where there’s nothing better during this time of the year than a cozy sweater and a latte..don’t you just love that warm and comfy feeling? Hope you’re all having a wonderful week so far!

Brunch with The Barefoot Contessa

           

Who haven’t seen Barefoot Contessa? I got to admit I’m a Food Network addict + a BIG fan of Ina Garten’s cooking! Ina has become the inspiration in the kitchen for so many of us. Browsing for a good simple recipe I ran across Gwyneth’s MAKE section, where she shares the details of cooking collaboration with Ina. I love both of these women. Ina for her creative cooking + design and Gwyneth because she is such a chic momma, not to mention one of the few down to earth GREAT actresses. They prepared homemade herbed ricotta bruschette from Ina’s latest cookbook. How easy is this dish? 

Quote of the Week!

 The Knot

Hello lovelies! Sorry for my lack of posts these past days, I’ve been busy busy busy! Anywayyy… here I am, back again…browsing for something different, I happen to love this chic and different hair alternative! Love it!! So cool…now I just need to figure out exactly how that’s done. I’m not an expert on working my hair but I am willing to experimenting…could it be a start of a braid?..

Modern Milly

Loving the classic modern look of Milly’s line. Her office is just simply gorgeous, modern, fresh, and relaxing don’t you think? It makes me want to work all day in it…and what about those ultra chic lucite chairs, the fabric of the pink sofa, her use of color and patterns, her feminine logo….I mean, all of it really!!!

And her clothing line? So fun and colorful…her current fall line, so fabulous...it’s looking like Chanel inspired to me…and her Resort/Spring collection? So chic and yet so sophisticated…can I live in her own little imagination? {got to admit, the bow is a little distracting to me...LOL}

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Petit Manhattan Apartment

In love with this tiny Manhattan apartment…painted blue, a color that a typical person don’t often see on a mature 57 year old woman {the owner}. The walls of the penthouse are even more unusual…a strong blue with blocks of red..We definetley are not talking about pale colors here. Pure color and energy surrounds this magical place.

“Enid Woodward, a physical therapist, lives in a 600-square-foot studio on the Upper West Side. The apartment may be small, but it has one very large asset: it opens onto a wraparound terrace that is nearly the size of the living space". This proofs that good things come in small packages I personally think its very unique, colorful and powerful.  Interesting to note that Enid's furniture is completely neutral, which makes the red and blue interior a huge success, if you ask me! …Now the question is, would you paint your apartment blue?

Sweet November...

Hello lovelies! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was pretty nice, full of family bonding, good food and yummy candy. No complaints if you ask me…I can’t believe November is already here…can you? Today I’m inspired by us girls…here sharing one of my favorite arm in arm photos of girlfriends...loving this street style pictures because in addition to their stylish clothes they seem so natural. We girls are always arm in arm chatting about n’importe quoi…right?  Go have yourself a happy week full of laughter and girl talk…its always nice to have a chatty-chat every once in a while with a good friend…
