Decorate

October 7th, 2011


I’ve had daybeds on the mind lately, and I finally found the gorgeous one I’ve been dreaming of, thanks to BO Concept. The Morini day bed features fabrics and leather, and starts at 995 euros. But my favorite is the Bahia Leather Caramel, perfect for dressing up a living room with a fresh winter style. The collection also includes great light fixtures and other furniture items.

The flower-embroidered coats, the chiffon dresses, the pastel skirts… what an adorable collection, what’s not to love? And it’s all totally worth falling in love with!!

Art & Culture

How romantic – my hubsand asked me to meet him at a luxurious private Paris home, converted into a museum: the Jacquemard Andre. I’ve got a place in my heart for Fra Angelico, a master artist of the Renaissance, a 15th century Benedictan monk who dedicated himself to religious painting. It’s said he couldn’t stop crying while painting Christ’s crucifixion. Discover his art, 25 breathtaking paintings in all, of amazing colors and perspectives.
