The Pretty Parlour

The Pretty Parlour boutique is a second-hand wonderland located in Seattle. Specializing in vintage apparel with an award-winning lingerie collection, the shop also features clothing by local designers.

Workspace of Ines de la Fressange

Because my chances of winning the CB2 contest are virtually nil, I've decided to feature my favorite shoot to date from The Selby.

Ines de la Fressange, a former haute couture model for Chanel, is a perfume and fashion designer. Simply put, her workspace in Paris is what dreams are made of.

Betsey Johnson's Pink Apartment

This feature was originally published in Elle Decor UK's August 2007 issue. I'm not quite sure the fashion icon still calls this place 'home', but I think it still looks as great as ever.







I had a pink bedroom growing up, which I got a lot of crap for. I've really come to terms with my love for the hue within the last couple years. And for me, this is not too much pink. It is dangerously close to the borderline though...

D.I.Y. Christmas Treetopper

This beautiful burst of color was constructed using a foam ball, sticks, spray paint and glitter.

Find this project and 19 others in the fanciful gallery of do-it-yourself treetoppers assembled by Better Homes & Gardens.

'G' is for...

Glitz? Glam? Gorgeous?


In honor of St.Patrick's day (and my current boutique hotel fetish), I'm featuring this Irish gem, The g Hotel.

Evoking old Hollywood charm, there is little about the inn that fits into mold of traditional Eire. The hotel was actually born from the creative mind of a hat designer!


I create hats people love to wear. With the g, I have created a place where people will love to be. —Phillip Treacy

Which, by the looks, could easily speak for me.

Best of the Week Vol.17

1. Stunning couture wallpaper from Bond Harrington.
2. If you have ever wondered what a Hello Kitty/MAC Cosmetics fusion would look like, here it is. The Alice in Wonderland inspired trailer is visualicious!
3. These girly tools are hot.
4. Gorgeous threads (and photos) from Oscar Winner Penelope Cruz and sister Monica for Mango.
5. Kyle Ng jewelry featured on Art Monster.
6. The mod offices of Chandelier Creative. Somebody hire me.

Best of the Week Vol. 14

1. Globamarama. Enough said.
2. One of my new goals in life is to stay at the Madonna Inn (no association with the or any other self-proclaimed Madonna). Each suite is entirely unique and overly styled — the pefect place for a weekend Holga shoot! Someday...
3. Minnie Mouse reimagined.
4. This bubblicious editorial is pure eye candy!
5. If I had these shoes, I would wear them every day.
6. One of many beautiful images on the Lolita blog.

And if that's not enough for you, there is the Lula Magazine Facebook group that includes more pictures than what's just on the website. Which I will have to resort to for now...
