Not a Minx, But Act Like One!


West Coast Readers...embrace yourselves for a night of luxury.  Jeffrey Kara Salon is hosting a beautifying event that is sure to make you purrr.  I visited Jeffrey Kara the last time I was in West Hollywood for a fun trip away with EG (sans kiddos).  My stylist was also an actor who had been on several soap operas and reality shows.  (Go figure).  Well, tomorrow night, they are hosting a fabulous event to include keratase treatments, blowouts/styling, make up application, and massages by Equinox.  Tickets are being sold for $35 and if you're interested. contact here

Tell em Vivid Hue Home sent ya...maybe they'll charge you a lil extra! 



Coffee on a Colored Table

Ikea VEMB Stripe $399 and Company C Giverny Floral

The best form of flattery is when friends or family ask me for my advice on something design related.  Recently, I've had multiple people ask if I have any good recommendations for colorful coffee, end, and nightstand tables.  I found multiple colorful possibilities for all different budget ranges. 

The coolest find is the Red Fretwork Coffee and End Table on Horchow.com.  Both are under $500 and can be used indoor or outdoor.  They offer a red lacquer finish that will surely brighten any room! 

Via Horchow.com


Bungalow 5 has a Brigitte 5 End Table/ Night Stand, available at Layla Grayce $767.


The Bungalow 5 Jacqui Coffee Table $715, also on Layla Grayce.  Matching end tables. 
The West Elm Turned-Leg Nightstand $249 in a wonderful melon red



Pair a colorful rug and other accessories and it will transform an entire room.  A few good choices:


Ikea Stockholm Rand $199

The Ikea Stockholm Rand rug offers the perfect contrast to a bright lime green, red or orange coffee table. 

Ikea Stockholm Figur $499

Love the vibrant colors in this figur rug!  Orange and red are a perfect and unexpected combo.  And then the Company C Giverny Rug is wonderful with florals and brights!

Company C Giverny Rug at Layla Grayce, starts at $90
It's so fun to decorate on other people's dimes, ha.  I enjoy sharing ideas I've found in my countless hours of researching and brainstorming.

Lillian August at Saks NYC


{Pssst...have you heard? }  Lillian August now has a boutique shop at Saks in New York City.    For the city dwellers, check this out:



I have long been a fan of Lillian August for their classic, yet modern design flair.  Think of any high-end designer and Lillian probably offers a segue into the brand. 

If you can't make it to the meet and greet this Thursday, here's a glimpse of what you're missing:

Loving the luscious colors and plush textiles; the fuchsia, the teal, the tangerine and charcoal gray.  Saks is selling Lillian August furniture and the unique home accessories for which they've become known.
