Isabel López-Quesada Elegant Villa

I'm smitten with the beautiful outdoor area of Isabel López-Quesada's Villa in Madrid. Inside the villa, the balance between the old antiques and modern furniture with pops of color give out so much personality.

Home of Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman

My favorite part of this Victorian home by Rosy Strazzeri-Fridman is the layering of vintage objects she has throughout. They are collected yet far from being cluttered due to all the glass and natural palette items. Plus I really love dark floors in all white spaces.

Thando

(Alexander Wang Vest, Bar III Floral Shirt, Top Shop Leather Pants, Theysken's Theory Boots)

Meet my new style crush, Thando from FactoryPR. I love her effortlessly cool, edgy and androgynous style. Ever since I first met her (remember her A.Wang jacket from yesterday's post?) I've been style stalking her. I have the same Bar III floral top that she's rocking so I'm really inspired to recreate this look into my way.

Musing Mom, Arizona Muse

I'm pretty sure we're all hot for Arizona Muse, the 23 year old mom to a three year old (pictured above) and super model who started her career as a long haired blonde but didn't get attention until she dyed her hair and went short. 

The short hair definitely brings out her features more (those brows!) and she's now in the May catalogue of J.Crew with her adorable son!

An Art Lover's Home

Nicole Hanley Mellon's apartment at The Plaza in New York is full of great art from different periods which makes her home so eclectic and fun. Although she says the huge art by Peter Beard (so is the one above the sofa) behind the bed was not a design choice the placement of it is quite intriguing.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at Coachella 2012

Killer white shirt and denim combo. Even though Coachella is over for me I might start caring for it just because of Rosie.

Pattern Play

I stopped by the H&M showroom the other day and picked out my two favorites from the H&M Fashion Against AIDS collection which hits the stores on April 26th. Not only is the entire collection amazing (and perfect for summer!) 25% of the proceeds will go to help the fight against AIDS. See the entire collection here.

P.S. Make sure you stop by H&M's Coachella tent where you can 'Kiss for a Cause' and H&M will donate $1 to AIDS research for every kiss hashtagged (#kissforacause #hmusa) on their Instagram, Twitter or Foursquare. You know who I'll be kissing! :D

Thank you Samara and Pansy! 

Beachy Interiors by Enrique Menossi

All these images shot by Barcelona based photographer, Enrique Menossi are so dreamy. They look like a scene from a movie and just makes me want to pack my bags (or swimming suit) and travel to Europe. Especially in the last few pictures, I feel the breeze like I'm actually there.

Give me Sun

I can't complain much living in California with the abundance of sunlight and warm weather but it'd be so nice if I had a nice backyard or a sunroom.

Hot Mama

This hot mama who goes by the name Eszter and I've been following each other's blogs for awhile and I've been a huge fan of her looks since day one. Go see the amazingness for yourself!

Decorating with Louis Vuitton Trunks

My mom has this huge Louis Vuitton trunk that she's had forever and not only is it pretty to look at it's also gotten so much use. From a side table in our home to a display table in the store window when she used to have a clothing store. I remember so many customers came into the store asking my mom if the trunk was for sale.

The above images are just a few of my favorite ways that the trunk has been incorporated into interiors. These looks are totally doable with vintage trunks as well.
