Whether created for facebook or hollywood stylists, I am totally in love with this new meta-site full of splendor.On polyvore, you create an account then you can create endless amounts of dream rooms or dream outfits with

Books can get messy- especially if your home does not have built-ins or you don't have proper shelving. Fret no more- there are a ton of cute book ends online for very good prices. My current personal favorite is the purple Agate book ends from Jayson Home. The natural look pairs well with any palette- and provides a unique addition to any book shelf. I plan on using these ends to hold my cook

Yes- Winter in SF is steadily approaching, which means rain, rain, rain.There are a ton of fun, flirty and functional umbrellas out that will not compromise your style. However there are no cute umbrella stands for the home. I have looked on urban, west elm, CB2, specialty stores and more, only to find cheap plastic stands.Recently while flipping through my new SF MOMA store mag- I found the

Us San Franciscans face a new challenge..... looking cute at the grocery store. With the new ban of plastic at the check out, we are all scrambling to find a cute spacious tote. I mean do you really want to carry an oatmeal-colored tote with your new muse bag?Fashionistas stress no more, our Scandinavian friends have saved us from scrutiny.

It can be extremely difficult to find cute accessories for the Kitchen, especially dish towels. Most come in green or red and white gingham prints, or are saturated with sunflowers.One night while stopping by a friends art show in Hayes Valley, I spotted the sweetest little towel, meant for my kitchen. Sweet, functional and only $17 is the perfect hi-lo find.

Everyday I dream of having a dog....unfortunately my lease and my boyfriend do not agree. However both parties do allow fish, but I can not envision a huge fishbowl in my decor. Most tanks and bowls are huge and extremely unappealing to the eye.But as usual our friendly Canadadian friends at Target have developed a solution.....A wall-mounted fish bowl. Not only is this design modern and clever,

In a search for a pair of flats (another!), I found this super classy, versatile and easy to wear gold pair by Olivia Morris.Her design style is feminine yet refined with a sense of humor. According to her: ‘Every girl should have a pair of gold shoes, like every girl should own a little black dress’. Although this statement is no news for me, her Delia flats ($670) are by far one of the few

Rug shopping is so daunting. It is hard to find the right size, a cool print, a durable blend, and most of all - not spend over $1000. I am a huge fan of white shag but realize how dirty my white jeans get when worn, so buying a white shag rug is an instant no. As my search continued, I found and fell in love with this bold Moroccan window rug by West Elm, not only for the visual appeal but for

Many design enthusiasts are always searching for interesting lamps that have striking shape and bold color. Lamps are the perfect tool for creating ambiance and incorporating sculpture into your interior design.However, it is quite challenging to find unique table lamps that don't cost over a grand. But thanks to the design team at Pier 1, the search is finally over. My personal favorite is the

Clearly - I love art. Many quirky little paintings find their way on my walls. But I truly love sculpture- especially sculpture I can hang on the wall. However, it is often tricky to find unique sculptures with out breaking the bank.Last year when sourcing gifts for an event promotion I came across an amazing wall sculpture company - Serious Gnome. Their offbeat line of wall plaques are inspired

Silver is definitely THE color for this summer. But that’s not news. The news is that I just found THE most fabulous pair of silver shoes… and they come straight from Paris! The beautiful ‘Jezus Sandal’ by Pierre Hardy completely took my heart … and wallet ($758!). But trust me, this is THE shoe purchase for the season, totally worth the splurge.The former Hermès cobbler is considered the king of

It is extremely important to start your day with energy. I personally am attempting to cut back on my caffeine and therefore am depending on my morning shower to provide that eye-opening jolt. Being I live in a dark loft in a foggy city, it was important for my new morning ritual to be full of color. Luckily in my rented space I can paint and so I chose a bright turquoise blue, accented with red

I love the combination of black and white on most anything, especially for my home. The chic color duo compliments many colors and makes a statement. Recently while looking for a new set of dinner plates, I stumbled upon the new silhouette series by Thomas Paul.Thomas Paul is known for placing bold graphics on everyday objects. These playful cameo plates can be used as desert plates or my

Back when I did not share my precious findings, not even with my imaginary friends, this jewelry designer would be part of the “I won’t tell you where I bought this even under torture” inventory. Let’s say that, after checking out her pieces, I truly believe that you are going to be very careful about spreading her name: Stephanie Owens, the designer behind the brand Elizabeth Cole.Elizabeth

It must be a southern thing........... but I love lamps. A table lamp can not only be a piece of art, it can illuminate a corner and create an unexpected cozy ambiance. It can be challenging to find a unique and modern table lamp with out breaking the bank, especially if you have good taste.After painting my bedroom a beautiful oker yellow, I began a fervent search for an eye-catching all white

Candles are essential for creating ambiance in your home. However, I personally am not fond of large glass cylinders, often allergic to the over-vanilla fragrance and hate a waxy mess.Soultion: Citizen-Citzen - an up-and-coming design company that challenges the standards in beauty and design.Candle #1 by Fredrikson Stallard combines a tapered candle and it's ornate holder all-in-one.

Every time I go back home (yes, Brazilian, thanks!) I am anxious to see what is new in fashion and where fellow style ‘finders’ are placing their bets – or should I say their feet? Again and again, no one can live without jelly shoes by Melissa. Melissa has been a part of the Brazilian culture for the past 25 years and now ... finally ... the rest of the world is getting to know her. The original

It is impossible to find a cool rug that doesn't cost a fortune. Last year Crate & Barrel launched a modern affordable line of products called CB2.com. They produce everything from dinner ware to textiles. Their most innovative and affordable products are the FLOR™ carpet tiles, available in an array of colors and patterns.My pick is the "Amazing lace" tiles, for $11.95 each. I love the brilliant

It is so challenging to find amazing modern art on a budget, especially photography. Then there was Pottery Barn....Teen. By far my favorite new find, PBteen.com now allows shoppers to upload their own photograph or image and in 2-3 weeks receive the image on a 4' x 6' canvas.A large photograph is the perfect way to make your space more dramatic and artistic.go to:pbteen.com

Ahhhh the Oscars, how I do love to rate the runway. One of the most striking numbers to hit this year's red carpet was the precious canary dress designed by Olivier Theyskins for Reese Witherspoon.

Looking for ways to incorporate personality into your home with out painting? I always start by finding a great pair of colorful pillows to adorn an inexpensive Ikea sofa or simple white bedding.One of my favorite designers - Thomas Paul, recently released a pillow line full of bold graphics and vibrant hues.

Wondering where the Hollywood “in crowd” scores the most amazing, award ceremony and Vanity Fair party worthy vintage pieces??? In LA, right? Yes, but for us lucky San Francisco gals, its not just in LA anymore… Torso Vintages is in town!I heard some buzz about it in December, but I thought that it would be yet another “typical” vintage store that we have around town - where vintage means used,

I’m not sure about you, but I am so ready for spring. Can’t wait to start wearing bright colors, light dresses (no, with leggings and long sleeved tees does not count) and tanning lotion (after all, a bare leg necessity…). While still waiting for that sun to rise, shine and bring some warmth, why not do all of the above yourself? No, I am not talking about braving the cold and wearing summer

A couple months ago I went on a crazy search for THE perfect skinny jeans. The good news? I found it. The bad? Many celebrities seem to agree with me… Siwy Denim have a shortened back hem curve that avoids dragging on the floor when worn with flats or heels while maintaining a very long and lean illusion in all sizes. The quilted pockets are not only darling, but also lift and shape your booty.
