Paddy Power!

I JUST GOT IT...well, its on its way:

Yes, THE bag, my personal favorite IT bag of all times...
THE CHLOE PADDINGTON!
Now, this isn't a blog about my purchases, bc I personally don't want a record of all the money I spend...but instead this is about the POWER of the PURCHASE!
When you finally get something you have been wanting for ages, and you get it DISCOUNT...that's what I said...DISCOUNT...it makes the power behind the purchase so much greater.
Would you believe I purchased this sweet thing for less than 60% of its normal price.
Someone recently asked me why I shop online so much...and the reason is clear...its cheaper. I can go in store, see what I like, try it on if necessary, then find it online for sometimes half the price I would pay in store. Often its through the use of coupon codes...FREESHIP, SHIPONUS, whatever...
Often its on a sample sale site, gilt.com, ideeli.com, hautelook.com...
Your dollar is powerful, so make sure you get the most out of it!
My motto in life is "Dance Like No One is Watching"
My motto in shopping is "Never Pay Retail"
Now...I'm off to find some fabulous boots to compliment my fabulous Paddy!

Love Sinks

                                                  The Canals of Venice, Italy

I am in love with this picture...
It reminds me of kisses, croissants (I know its not Paris, but that is what it reminds me of okay!),
Moscato d'Asti, Christian Louboutin Roland heels, John Coltrane and Miles Davis, sequins, thick knitted sweaters, cropped pants, polka dot strapless one piece swimsuits, wild and curly hair, Lanvin flats, and Toblerone.  A mish mash of some of my favorite things...

Heavenly Affair

Everyone knows I have a love affair with Z Gallerie.  Well, I went to the actual store in Atlanta...and I was in heaven.  I mean actual heaven, and God was all through that place.  Such beauty and opulence, I was in my own personal nirvana.  It was full of lush fabrics, shiny items, rich and beautiful lacquered pieces, just everything you can think of when you think of FABULOUSNESS! 

So, in true style, here are some of my favorite items in Z Gallerie right now...Happy Shopping!


Puccini Glassware in Silver


Axis Chandelier


***FAVORITE: Oslo Vase***

Open Sesame



Now, this is a kitchen. Those are some SICK cabinets...the rolling doors, the open plan. I am not a fan of the open shelves below, and I think I might like the wood a little lighter, but I am loving the farmhouse sink and the white counterrop. It all makes me rather happy. How about you?
Gotta have this in the villa!

You Fancy Huh?

I was on a fashion kick for a time, but now that I have some changes going on...I see some things around my home that I wanna change! Change is good and positive, and it is good to mix up your setting every once in a while to reflect the new you and your new mood. So, I found some interesting and fancy stuff I might like in my home...cuz I am feeling quite interesting and fancy these days!


This Time Talks English Clock is perfection...from Conran for $499. Most things are better in plain English.


The Chalkboard Globe gives you freedom over what is important to you in the world...its more than just places and names, it is where you have been and want to go! From Well Appointed Home for $298


Everything he touched, turned to GOLD. This Midas Carafe Set is perfect beside your bed...DWR


Wax Collector Candle Holder is just cool...DWR


Flat Bar Frame Chair for some shine...Hive


Zebra and Nickel Wall Mirror is really fancy...Flair New York

Louis the Thirteenth

I am in LOVE with alot of the clutches at the Louis Vuitton Spring 2011 Fashion Week showing.
They are full of whimsy, have that classic LV charm, and would be collectors items for years and years to come in luxurious velvet and leather colors.
