1. Lately I am loving greenery. This collection of mixed styled pots + beautiful botanicals in front of my favorite brunch spot just floored me. 

 2. Pink and purple flowers are so femme fierce...I love them together.
 3. This collection of sea foam green glass candle holders is a must have for any window sill. 
 4. I don't know exactly what this is but drove by it on the UES I loved the green glowy-ness! 
 5. I often think about doing a book called the doors of manhattan. The details of the doors in this city are incredible, I am constantly snapping pics of the pretty doors. This red black and gold was stunning! 
 6. I love love love this LOVE pillow.
 7. Eden Manor, an amazing fashion boutique designed with panache by Ryan Korban...oh yeah! 
 8. This fireplace is like a blank canvas to me and I am just so ready to attack and give it some decor love.

10. This week I have been getting some great sleep and this cute little "breakfast at Tiffany's" mask is the reason. I just love it! Completely adds to my domestic bliss.

10 things that rocked my world this week...jan 7 {pre birthday edition}

1. They say that what you do on NYE is representative of your year...so this year at midnight I found myself in a vintage sequin dress (so glam) and uggs (so comfy). So this year I am looking forward to a balanced year of glamour and cozy comfort. Here is to 2012!

 2. For the new year + a little bit of birthday love, one of my best blogging friends Vanessa, came to visit. (we both are from LA she moved to Miami and I came to NYC). We both tried out SHELLAC manicures. I am seriously now obsessed with it...no chipping, it rocks! 
3. Rose bubbly was pre-new year cocktail of choice and it was oh so yummy...I told you all I wanted more rosy pink in my life this year...so that was another NYE night must have.
4. In an effort to dress more eccentric + out of my comfort zone this year, I have been reading Parisian Chic by Ines de la Fressange. I love it. It has totally reinvented my idea of style! 
5. My 2012 breakfast of choice. berries + bananas. Makes for the most deelish smoothie too! 
6. My newest piece of art courtesy of VandM. vintage photograph of the showgirls at Copacabana. I'm obsessed with it.
7. My little crystal skull, aka Skully. He is such a hit in my apartment. Everyone who comes over wants to steal him and he absolutely makes me smile. 
8. Aren't friends the best blessing in life? I think so. I got THE sweetest gift in the mail from one of my bff's. This girl has so much style, even the wrapping, tissue paper + card had swagger. Not to mention the gorgeous gift inside! LOVE!
9. This pink umbrella is my favorite thing in my house right now. The bright color just picks me up every morning oh and all the stripes in my house do too. 

10. So, my love for DECORISTA PINK just never ends and now I want this cute pink watch. I can't decide if I would actually wear it everyday, but I keep seeing fashionistas on the NYC scene wearing hot pink watches and it is so rocking my world.
Should I go for it?

10 things that rocked my world this week...new years eve edition

It's 2012 at midnight tonight and I am so ready for the new year...
 1. I vow to wear a fascinator this year...they are just so cool and kelly wearstler does it, so why not?

(pardon the weird eyes in this photo but i had to share) 
 2. My new morning after bag by Rebecca Minkhoff I got for chrismas is in my favorite shade of grey...this year, for me, its all about the dusty pinks and light grey.
 3. To think about the past week, one of my favorite moments was taking my whole family to the Plaza Hotel and seeing the PINK betsey johnson christmas tree. so fabulous.
 4. We also took tours of decor shops and of course my favorite things were the big crystals at ABC home + carpet.
 5. The soho C.Wonder store is oh so cute. I fell for these little brass jewelry display kitties. I need one asap! 
 6. Of course we celebrated Jesus' birthday at St. Patricks Cathedral. Quite possibly the most gorgeous church I have ever been to. It was the most beautiful service. Wow.
7. Lately I have been obsessed with the simplicity of the paintings by Mondrain. 
 
8. okay. i have been trying to find some great cateye sunglasses and i finally did! (most of them look so silly on me) but these Dolce Gabbana ones fit just right.
 9. Oh my goodness this chandelier was my hearts delight...
10. Oh and this year I will be wearing my new black sketchers shapeups with neon laces to the gym. They inspire me so...

10 things that rocked my world this week...the pre-christmas edition

 1. My week started off marvelously. I returned from Dallas only to return to a driver( who has become such a good friend) and this was his gift to me. He explained that after being here for almost a year, I deserve this badge of honor. Such a thoughtful gift...and its pink too! 

now for some pics around the apartment...
2. Working from home is such a gift but at times it gets hard to stay focused, especially with all the magazines you collect from the airport. I swear I always end up sleeping on the plane and reading the mags at home. They look perfect sitting on mirrored coffee table.
 3. One of my favorite pieces from Zgallerie finally arrived and I just love her. Female artwork is my favorite kind of art. Whether it be photography or portraits...there is something very vulnerable and sweet about it and I love that.
 4. My crystal skull makes me so happy. I don't know why but with my latest obsession with skulls, this one fits the bill perfectly.
 5. My bathoom. Yes it's black and I LOVE it. How great does this artwork by my friend Nancy look?
It's bright, bold and feminine. 
6. My art wall in the hallway. Trying to work with the intercom and circuit breaker box is always interesting in these small pre-war apartments but this one is getting to be pretty fun...
 
7. So, I am having a secret obsession with all things India lately. I have always loved vegetarian indian food, it's one of my favorite things to eat. Tofu & curry...mmm. The walls at this one particular restaurant really struck me, the women wear such beautiful colors, the people love bright and beautiful flowers and they appreciate chandelier scones, just like me! 
 8. Another restaurant I walked by had this as its wallpaper and these chic modern chairs. Way to go McDonalds in times square, way to be modern and step it up a bit. I LOVED the zebra walls. They inspired me for a little something new I am working on, that I cannot wait to tell you all about. 
(secret to be revealed after the new year)
9. My week up to now was so busy, I am working right up until Christmas day. Yesterday, I got a tour of a reupholstery factory right here in town. This particular place outfitted and custom creates all the furniture for big movie sets and my favorite restaurants in the city. (I got to see some pieces being created for some huge venues and boutiques...so cool)
We are going to do some work together and I really wanted to see what its like in the factory, so I got an amazing tour. 
#THESE ARE THE REASONS  I LOVE DOING WHAT I DO IN NEW YORK CITY! 
10. It's literally less that a few weeks until my birthday and I just can't even believe how fast my 30th year went by. I must be honest in that I am a little nervous of the looming day. Thoughts and memories rush to my head when I think of it, and its kind of overwhelming. Then I read this neat little color horoscope from a cute little birthday book by Pantone I spotted in West Elm. Needless to say, I am back to loving my birthday and looking where to add more CANYON ROSE to my life! 

10 things that rocked my world this week. December 18


1. So in love with all of the amazing people I got to spend time with in Dallas (my home away from home) at the wonderful VandM soiree. Wish you all could have been there, it was such a great time. I was so excited to introduce my fabulous blogger/decorator friends to my family(see dad and uncle G). Kyle (knightmoves), Beth (PulpDesignStudios), Abbe (Studioten25)...they are the true definition of what I call DECORISTAS! 

 2. As most of you know, black and white stripes are my favorite...and this tablecloth is perfection in my eyes.
 3. Because my apartment is so small, I have been on the hunt for the perfect coffee table and I finally found it. It's mirrored and moroccan shaped...so perfect. I found mine at Joss & Main.
 4. If you want interesting wrapping paper, hit the thrift shops. My local housing works had this amazing collection of vintage papers. This gold and cream stripe has been a hit with my family.
 5. While I was there I spotted this very chic navy and brass trunk...such the perfect coffee table for a small NYC apartment. I love its ralph lauren edge. 
 6. We see them all the time but these ram's head brass dining table just takes my breath away. LOVE.
 7. My new favorite dallas entrepreneuress is Leslie, who owns again & again. She has a few locations filled with the most chic furnishings and such. One of them is this cute little pink house with black and white striped awnings...if the decorista were a house this is exactly what she would look like. Wow. This girl is the Dallas Kelly Wearstler. So fab and we loved having her out to the VandM event. 
 8. A huge thank you to the W hotel in Dallas for being such wonderful hosts to us. I loved the design, and had such a great time eyeing the holiday decor. They do everything so glam, just the way I like it. 
9. I don't want to go without giving a big shout out to ID Collection. Wow, this showroom really rocked my world. Not only did they have great fabrics, they had the most interesting pieces that I have never seen before. I could be in that place for days and never get bored. 

10. Top Golf. So cool. I never thought going to the driving range would be so much fun. All the boys in the family love to be active and I love to join so we had some serious family fun. This is what I love about the holidays....Bonding time. So, I am glad at least I had something gorgeous to look at, the venue was modern and oh so design centric. love it. 

10 things that rocked my world this week. December 10

 1. Top of the rock... I seriously love doing cheesy NYC tourist things for fun. It really makes me appreciate this amazing city that I live in. From the top, you realize just how small the island is. They also do the best souvenir photos...

 2. My new headboard from Zgallerie has arrived and I am absolutely in love with her! Her name is Grace too and I find that incredibly serendipitous...its one of my favorite words.
 3.Yesterday in my beauty bliss post I told you about her but I had to show you guys how adorable my samantha lipgloss is. So much fun and the yummiest, mintiest, lip plumper ever. 
 4. I guess I am probably the last person to get this book but I LOVE YOUR STYLE by Amanda Brooks is awesome. It breaks down fashion and how to achieve that killer celeb style. love it.
 5. A free manicure. Honestly. Best. thing in the world. I went with a lilac purple and it brightens me up each time I get a glimpse of my pretty purple nails.
 6. I am commissioning the piece for a client and the sculptor did such a fab job, don't you think???
 7. This pretty light is in an office space. Now, that is definitely the kind of light I like to be working with..
 8. More touristy stuff + Christmas tree = decorista happiness! 
9. I just couldn't resist an ice skating party. There is something SO VERY new york christmas about ice skating at rockafeller center. Can you guys tell how excited I am that this is my first Christmas in NYC as an adult. I can't get enough of its magic! 
 
10. Oh, and this fabric. I shot it upside down because it was so high to roll down in the store. I am just DYING to use it somewhere...Art Deco Amazingness! 

10 things that rocked my world this week...December 3

 1. This cute little card (in black and white I might add) just stole my decorating heart. I think it might be my new life motto...

 2. Now because I believe in miracles and I LOVE to dream BIG...I saw this photo of this black and gold office tower and thought to myself....this is definitely what THE DECORISTA ENTERPRISES will look like one day. So pretty. So glam. So dreamy.
 3. I found this coat rack-ish type of thing at one of my favorite vintage stores. So dorothy draper....I had to have it and its the new home to all of my favorite winter coats...
(I must say, its still weird to say 'my winter coats' when a year ago I was in LA and didn't own a single one...isn't life just full of surprising things?)
 4. I am kind of obsessed with Kate Spade. While, I am much more the bombshell glamour type than the preppy type, her accessories kill me with cuteness. Like this rose bowl, we all know its a long time favorite. Every girl needs one. You can find the similar vase here.
 5. So I went really crazy shopping online for holiday gifts and found this Kate Spade striped Iphone cover. I am obsessed with it. It's perfect and completely protects my phone when I drop it. 
 6. My pack of office supplies from Poppin.com. So in LOVE!
 7. So right outside of my apartment, they have lined up christmas trees. It makes me so happy because I may not be able to have on in  my apartment, they have lined my street. Oh, Joy! 
 8. In case you all didn't know Pineapples are used in Feng Shui and other asian cultures as a symbol of WEALTH, FORTUNE and PROSPERITY. The sound of the chinese word for Pineapple is similar to the sound of the saying "good luck coming your way". Needless to say, I scooped up this pair of brass pineapples for my desk quickly. Now, everytime I see them, they bring a smile to my face. 
9. Gemstones are good luck too. And these guys are just so darn pretty. I couldn't resist them either.
10. Now while the quote at the top of this post is my new personal mantra...this "pink please" spray painted wall I spotted is definitely the mantra of my blog. She loves herself some pink.

7.Black, tufted, scuffed up leather is my new weakness. Thanks to the Halo showroom for throwing an outstanding party and a perfect place to sit and gab with the ladies.
8. Because the fine people at Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams Home were so sweet to us, we got a driver and a hot Porsche to roll around HPMKT. Now this was fun! 
9. Now one of the greatest things about HPMKT is that everyone provides the most wonderful food and drink to keep you full and happy. I don't think I have ever eaten so well at an event before. Amazingly, the champagne was well stocked, which was great for me since I don't like alcohol, just a bit of bubbly.

10. The Architectural Digest party was oh so dreamy. Low fairy lights, the perfect chill in the air, and the best of the best decorators and publishing peeps were in attendance. Such a charming affair.

 8. I know I am an adult, but I am such a sucker for anything Hello Kitty. My mom and I always talk about my obsession I have had since I was a little girl. Isn't she just the cutest?
 9. Now this was my kind of office space of the day! Gorgeous blue pool + laptops + plush pillows = total weekend vacation bliss.
10. I have a small obsession with Skippy peanut butter and this is my new favorite snack. 
Strawberry Skippy toast. YUM!

10 things that rocked my world this week! august 20

1. I painted stripes in my new apartment hallway and I am absolutely enamored by their style and swagger. Feeling super good about my decision. 

 2. The NYIGF was pretty cool, I went like 3 or 4 different times just incase I missed anything. The last day was fun because they actually sold things off the floor so my clients and I snagged up a few goodies. I really wanted this super playful poodle lamp, but it was sold before I got to it. bummer.
 3. I have the coolest Super in the entire world...(for those of you who don't live in NYC, your Super is sort of like your building handyman). His name is Allen and he is probably in his 80's and used to be a big Hollywood actor guy. He gave me this cute keychain as a housewarming gift. gotta love the guy.
 4. Honestly, how cute is this plate I found at UrbanOutfitters? Who could love anything more than french fries...or in my case Sweet Potato Fries. 
 5. Since exploring around in my new neighborhood, I have found the most fabulous antique stores I have ever seen. One of them had this collection of rose gold outdoor light fixtures that just took my breath away. I could just picture it....glossy black paint + rose gold beauties = bliss
 6. Did I mention that my new apartment is literally 2 blocks from Central Park? I am so so so in love with the magic of the park, its the perfect anecdote to crazy city workdays.
 7. I'm slightly obsessed with pressed butterflies...and my local Housing Works had this cute cute cute piece. Had to snag it. 
 8. Oh, how you can take the girl out of Hollywood but not Hollywood out of the girl. I went crazy for this collection of old hollywood movie photos in antique silver gold frames. Looked stunning as a focal wall. 
9. Gray and Gold metallic cowhide rug......say whaaaaaaaa? Gorgeous! 
10. Had my very first ever TRENTA starbucks iced coffee. Holy cow the thing is huge. Don't you just love the way soymilk melts down into the coffee? I adore that marbleized look, especially when it comes to decor.
