Just have to say- When I saw the gold flecks in the extravagant berry & extravagant red
lipstick thought to myself: if I was a lipstick this would be me.

aerin lauder
There are only few people who I can truly say are a heavy influence on my work. One of those people who has influenced me heavily is Aerin Lauder. Specifically because her personal style carries over to her creations- something that I try to do every day now.

vanity
I love the idea of displaying your jewelry and perfume. It's such a great way to embrace your personal style in your home. Here are some beautiful options.
Perfectly placed perfume on a mirrored tray
Your favorite pieces of jewelry, placed neatly- or not so neatly.
Accessories become "easily accessible" when they are placed into a simple white tray.
Special trinkets in vintage bowls and goblets.
How do you display your favorite objects around the vanity? I'd love to know.
All photos- rue.

Last week Layla Grayce was kind enough to help suggest what our first office piece should be. The screen has just arrived- but the office, still pretty empty. This week m Minhee at Paper Cup design helps us choose the new office labels.
Here are a few Minhee and I like- please help us choose which wrap-around labels to use by commenting on which you think looks the best? (Read the notes below- I hope you are all visual people!!! )
Cream trim, signature in Metallic gold, black letters, Papaya envelope
Address will be written in black.
Cream envelope, white labels trimmed in gray, gold signature, black letters.
Address would be written in Papaya or hot pink!
Cream envelope, double trimmed coral on a white label , sig and letters in black.
Address would additionally be in black.
cream envelope, bright papaya/pink trim, gold signature , black letters.
Address would be written in gold. Possibly a matching gold liner?

Let's Design Together
Today, we are deciding on our very first piece to the office so I hope my most stylish readers are viewing this post!!
My art career is growing and changing and my small team and I will need a new space to work. We will be designing a new office space one piece at a time (literally) and tracking it here for you so that you can all give your design input. It will also be a great way for anyone reading to decorate your own home space right along with us.
We are beginning with only a desk and chair and leaving the first addition up to Wendy , from Layla Grayce.
What are the functions this piece can serve in the office?

Which piece did you think should be added to the space first and why?
"A folding screen. First thought upon seeing the office space was there is a beautiful desk but a very lonely wall standing behind it. The screen, if placed slightly off center to the left, can mask the light switch. To balance the screen off to the right we envision either a single large or grouping of Dallas’ talent, her framed artwork or perhaps a dress form with one of her favorite designs or fashion pieces she’s collected. A quick way to ground the desk and add dimension, was to incorporate a decorative element like the screen. We also like the versatility that it provides as it can be moved to another wall or corner space if she wants to later shift things around."
What are the functions this piece can serve in the office?
Mainly decorative and space-defining.
Looks like a screen it is! Do you have a favorite of the screens above? I LOVE the gold screen (it's by arteriors). Please leave your thoughts below- and we'll share which screen we pick up from Layla Grayce shortly!!
