Irene Neuwirth Opals

Boulder Opals with Diamond, just stunning.

Paper Eyelashes

Laser cut paper motifs have been trending for some time now and in what seems to be a natural progression, I have found them in the form of eyelashes. Very striking, just dont get caught in the rain.

Halloween Dress

This year I plan on dressing up as Elizabeth Taylor from Cleopatra. The eye make-up is the best part! We are hosting a Halloween party on Sunday and I cant wait to see everyone in costume!

Print Inspiration

Chanel Spring Collection Print.

lovely notes

I am currently planning my little adventure home, (with a two day de-tour to Paris), and I have been searching for the perfect notebook to gather all the lovely memories in. I am a huge fan of Smythson, timeless and beautifully crafted.

Crown Jewels of Hollywood

This December, the clothes and jewelry of Elizabeth Taylor will be sold in auction. Included in the sale is the 33.19ct Krupp diamond ring, re-named by Christies to the Elizabeth Taylor Diamond. Also up for grabs are the rubies and diamonds given by Mike Todd and the Peregrina pearl from Richard Burton.

Chanel Fall 2011

I love the new Fall makeup collection by Chanel. I treated myself to the 'Graphite' nail polish and the 'Illusion D'Ombre' eyeshadow. Metallics are once again on the fall fashion line up but I think accents of shine are better than major statements.

Cave Paintings

Last night we went to see Werner Herzogs documentary 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams'. It was amazing to see the painted animals that were created over 30,000 years ago, preserved as if they were made yesterday. You can find out all about the caves and its contents here. These are a few samples of the art that was discovered. I especially love the two lions.

Aqua Snob

I have to confess that I do love Evian water. I like the softness and the logo brings nostalgic memories of trips to France as a child.
I discovered this cool packaging design and love it!

I often walk past this art center on my way to the gym and wondered what it was all about. Today I went into the gallery and was blown away by the current exhibit. Textiles are the focus of the show and there are amazing quilting, weaving, crochet and embroidery pieces. The studio itself is next door and has a wonderful light, bright feel. I am applying to volunteer!
