Welcome back.....before I draw the WINNER of the iPad 2 case, let me introduce you to Pal + Smith.

The design firm,  Pal + Smith - recently opened a boutique in Costa Mesa, California.  It's owned by Melissa & Marc Palazzo, a design duo with a great eye for bold color & patterns!

Kimberly Moore's Home Tour...

Kimberly Moore from Third Floor Design Studio has agreed to let us into her home today....and it's a cozy one at that! She's an Interior Designer who runs an online blog as well as her own e-design & on-site services! Her rates are relatively affordable & if you live in Utah (like her) - then bonus!
 

Don't you just LOVE how with the power of the Internet, designers are now able to help their clients from anywhere around the world...so cool!! 

It definitely beats JUST talking on the phone. In fact with programs like Skype, we can meet & discuss our homes with designers online & not even have to meet in person! 

Have you ever tried e-design services? What was your experience like??
 

I really love the SIMPLICITY of Kimberly's place, don't you?? Let her know what you love about her place! 

To find out more about her & her design services visit her blog, Third Floor Design Studios !

Kelly Wearstler is Fashion....

I think I'm OBSESSED with Kelly Wearstler's style. She's an Interior Designer who is now adding Fashion Designer to her resume....too cool. When I look at her - I see FASHION. From her home, her wardrobe & now her new collection.  

I SWEAR I visit her blog, My Vibe My Life every other day to see if there are any updates! She's got the coolest outfits & home accessories - oh.... & I can't forget all the super cool clutches! Did you see them yet?!?

I'm soooo looking forward to seeing her collection in person, which include clothes, jewelry, clutches, and scarves! Heck....maybe I'll come across them on my next trip to L.A. because I doubt they'll have anything here in Las Vegas...or will they?!?

Below: Kelly's ready-to-wear & accessory mini boutiques in Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus & Holt Renfrew.

Tell me...what do you think of Kelly's new collection?? Do you like??

Designer Shaun Smith, So Cool....

Aren't you glad it's Friday!?!? Heck yes. I'm still supposed to meet with my intern this afternoon but I think I'm going to reschedule! This day is just too perfect.... 86 degrees!


Now onto Design.....I recently learned about New Orleans based designer Shaun Smith while flipping through Lonny Magazine. Let's just say he's got it going on....he's super cute and has a tremendous amount of style. Can you beat that? Ok, maybe Campion Platt...BUT this is all about Shaun Smith today. 

below: inside Shaun's shop....

 

His style is SIMPLE - we all can do simple right? BUT it's also chic with a blend of different time periods. 

In fact when I look at his Interiors, I get the sense that that THIS GUY has traveled the world....loading his rooms with vintage & modern furnishings of various time periods. 

If I ever make it down to New Orleans, his store will be a must-visit for me!  

For those interested in giving this shop a visit here's the 411:
