The top photo is just that, a photo of a home published in Vogue Living in 2005. Below it is a painting done by photo-realistic Queensland artist Michael Zavros.

Two words ladies: holy smokes.
I just spent the past hour drooling over the selection of butterflies at The Evolution Store. Above are some of my very favorites. John bought me a pretty framed coral pink and marigold yellow one on the street in Manhattan and I treasure it to this day. Perhaps nature’s the best artist of all?
Love these looks from the spring/summer 2010 collection of milliner Eugenia Kim. I can’t decide which I covet more, the sequin beret or orange bow fedora…? To be honest, I don’t know if I could pull either off, it takes such confidence! Are you a hat girl?
This image of Grace Kelly that’s been floating about advertising her exhibit at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum is almost too fantastic for words. The exhibit features the actress turned princess’ gowns from Rear Window and High Society, as well as the dress she wore to accept her Oscar in 1955 and the outfit she wore to her first meeting with Prince Rainier (take notes ladies!). It’s open until September 26 and my girlfriends in London (Miss Emma and Miss Liza are you listening?) absolutely, positively must go see it. I expect a full report!
Are you a Miss Dior Cherie girl? Or perhaps you’re more the Coco Mademoiselle type? Sweden-based fashion illustrator Emma Kisstina has you covered with her fun, flirty illustrations of signature scents. I think they would be sweet framed in a dressing room or even casually affixed to one’s vanity mirror. More of a lipstick type of gal? That’s her fierce red Chanel below…
