Yesterday, my friends Beka and Kimberly of Styled Creative asked me to participate in a photo shoot FULL a sparkle. Together, with Nicole of Red Balloon and talented photographer Alison Conklin, we took over Trust in Phila and the girls filled it with glittery decorations. Here are some behind -the scenes photos. Can't wait to share Alison's pictures with you all soon!

Making scents

Thank you to the team at anthropologie for inviting me to learn more about Le Labo at a small gathering in nyc last week. I was in town and had the chance to stop by this private event to meet the creators and learn more about the perfume.
After meeting while creating scents for Georgio Armani, creators Fabrice Penot and Edouard Roschi , founded Le Labo.  Anthropologie and Le Labo collaborated to create 5 scents that will be carried in the store.
While I love unique scents, and the look of the bottles and candles (bottles were designed after an old poison bottle), I was sold on the solid perfumes. They make a great holiday gift and are perfect for travel.

Thank you for having me, Anthropologie! Have you seen or smelled the new Le Labo collaboration in stores? Do you think any of the unique scents are "you"?

decorating...

As you know, I've been a busy bee. But promised myself one holiday decoration a night so I don't get overwhelmed by the holidays (and so it's still fun). This weekend I made a cinnamon wreath for my kitchen.
it. smells. amazing. thinking if I change out the ribbon- this could be a year round decoration. yum.

Here are a few favorites that I spotted at my home ideas. (it's also where I stole the cinnamon wreath idea. here is their photo:)

more wreaths i love? the nester, pewter and sage, rue mag...

wow.

i love you martha.

Check out this adorable paper doily wreath. you can find the how to at Martha Stewart. I have not had much time to decorate so I promised my self one decoration a night. This will be a good one! (And collecting the doilies will be just as fun?!

Also wanted to share a HUGE project I have been working on with Shopbop! It has  just launched and I would love for everyone to run to the website and see. A new blogger will be featured daily featuring my illustrations. Hope you enjoy.

CA update

Just an update on my wonderful week in CA. I am here for meetings with the Walt Disney Corporation and the fabulous ladies at Rachel Zoe...and now I am enjoying some time in Hollywood where, oddly, I have never felt so at home.

Enjoying the winter weather , holiday and Hollywood lights. But most of all, the friendly faces here in CA. Cannot wait to share more.

Nancy's picks for me...Console

 Recently I have been furniture shopping but doing more searching than buying. I had the chance to ask Nancy to help with some console inspiration. Nancy sent over three that she loved that she thought would be perfect for me.

Couldn't agree more. The top is supper pretty , but I love something with storage just as much

Thank for the inspiration and suggestions N!

I'm in CA

As you know I have been up for days, working on multiple projects , and today I am in CA (los angeles) for a few meetings. My job has taken me to some amazing places this year. This is a good one.

So today, a giveaway from myself and Belli- for modern moms.  You win not only some goodies from Belli, but also a personalized baby print from yours truly. Would make a great gift too! Leave a comment below to enter :) (tweets that link anywhere on the blog get an extra entry. good luck)
