In My Wildest Dreams…

I live in this stately polka dot room created by the ever imaginative Tim Walker for Vogue Italia.  It’s it magical?

Girl Crush

She’s smart, beautiful and talented—who doesn’t have a girl crush on Natalie Portman?  Mr. Armour and I once stood behind her in line at the Angelika and she looked like a million bucks without a stitch of make-up.  Plus she had on a truly fabulous coat.  Yup, I’m a fan.

Juliska Envy

These new advertisements for Juliska tableware stopped me dead in my tracks.  I couldn’t help but swoon over the dark blue-grey paint, beautiful glass table lamp, rustic wood table, bamboo handle pitcher and more.  I’ve long been a fan of their always whimsical glassware collection.  Is it just me or does a tablescape like this make you a wee bit jealous too?

The Designer Toothbrush

If you never thought a toothbrush could be chic, think again!  I’m head over heels for these designer toothbrushes at Almander’s Alley.  I think I “need” the hearts, leopard spots and glitter while Mr. Armour would certainly appreciate the argyle.  After all, it’s the little things that count.

P.S. Wouldn’t they make the c-u-t-e-s-t stocking stuffers?
