I'm Feeling WILD



I went to the L.A. Zoo yesterday and it was so much fun. I LOVE and am obsessed with wild animals (well any kind of animal) so I went crazy taking pictures. I mean, I can sit for HOURS watching the gorillas and the chimpanzees. They are absolutely amazing and I am fascinated by their every graceful move. Here are a few photos I took yesterday of the beautiful animals at the zoo. Which animal is your favorite?

Enjoy! {click on photo to enlarge}














































And, of course, here is some wild interior design inspiration.

Halloween is almost here, but there is still time...

to make this gorgeous wreath.  If I weren't so busy this weekend (and lazy) I would totally be all over this little project (found@pinkwallpaper blog).

XoXo,

P.S. First time posting from phone, so sorry if it looks weird.

Weekend in Review...My Favorites

I hope everyone is enjoying whats left of the weekend. I had a fun filled weekend and I am about to unwind in bed with a movie, Bad Teacher...anyone watch already?

Yesterday, Peter and I decided to head up the coast to our favorite little quiet town...Malibu. We love it there and try to go as often as we can (since it's not too far from us). We love eating at Cafe Habana (owned by Cindy Crawfords Husband Randy Gerber) and then grabbing some coffee at Starbucks or Coffee Bean and just walk around and relax (and of course do a little shopping).



I finally got to go in to the Super by Dr. Nicholas Perricone store. Bought some products to drench my skin in good ol' antioxidants.



and my "little shopping" also consisted of a full blown hunt for new sunnies. I've had my sunglasses for YEARS and they are so scratched I could barely see...but I love them.
Well lovED...now I love these :-)



I also carved a pumpkin :-) Fun, but tiring. Carved some ghosts and a witch. Will try to post the finished products another time...too tired:-)



Speaking of being tired, I made pizza (second time this weekend) with THE works. Whole wheat dough from Trader Joe's, BBQ sauce, salami, mushrooms, peppers, chicken, and like 3 different cheeses. I ate it like I hadn't eaten in days. Sooo good.

What did you do this weekend??

Suzani in the Bedroom

I would have to say that the Suzani is the one interior detail that would perfectly describe my style: vibrant colors, bold patterns, cozy, cultural, and looks stunning in all-white rooms. I especially love Suzani's on beds. Take a look at the photos and decide for yourself. Where would you place a Suzani?
