Chic Working Space

Ever since I've moved into my recent apartment I've been struggling on what I want my room to look like. I like simple, feminine and a splash of color. I have ideas but I already have a lot of things in my room that makes it hard to work with. I wish I could just buy everything new!

I was browsing The Coveteur and they went into the offices of Who What Wear in Los Angeles and I love everything about it. I would love to work in a place that looks like their offices! Even though it's their offices I still found amazing inspiration for my room.  You can find their entire office here and be inspired!


I love the pop of colors that drastically changes the table below the T.V!


This inspiration board is like a piece of art on the wall. I always have cut outs from magazines or photographs that I don't know what to do with. I just may do this!


What a great idea to display the colorful nail polishes in a glass container instead of storing them! 



The glass desk gives the office a clean modern simple look that I like and want!

Love Love Love the chair and table!

 

Everything is so clean and chic. I love it all! This definitely inspires me for my bedroom and future office. What do you think?

Red Hot Emmy's!

I always get excited for the red carpet of any show. As far back as I could remember I would watch all of them with my mom and just drool over the beautiful gowns and critique the not so hot gowns. I think that is where I got my love of gowns from. I miss watching it with her but at least we chit chat over the phone about the gowns.

The Emmy's had a hot red carpet! The red carpet did not disappoint and I love how more gowns were body fitting. The color RED was a major trend along with sparkly nudes and statement earrings to finish off the looks.  Here are the hits and trends from last night!

 Sophia Vergara in a stunning Vera Wang. 
I love how the gown drapes around her and the color is just stunning for her. The earrings are a perfect finishing touch to her look!

Christina Hendricks in a custom made Johanna Johnson gown. 
Va Va Voom! Christina embraces her curves and looks fabulous in this old Hollywood glamour feeling gown.

  Lea Michele in Marchesa. 
The rosette sleeves are a perfect touch to her gown. I love this gown but I wish it showed a little more for her age. 

Elizabeth Moss in Marchesa. 
One of my favorite sparkly nude gowns! The sheer sleeves that go up her arms are a beautiful detail and perfectly fitted for her.


Nina Brobev in Donna Karen.
My favorite of the night! How perfect does this gown fit her?? Looks like she melted right into it! Her necklace is not to bold to take away from her fitted ruffled gown. 

 Jennifer Carpenter in Tony Ward Couture. 
Another sparkly nude gown with a hint of leg. The sparkle drapes perfectly down her body and the v neck is just enough!

 Kate Winslet in Elie Saab.
Another hot Elie Saab gown. She is the master of gowns and this one is another masterpiece. It's simple yet elegant and sexy. Perfect!

Kerry Washington in Zuhair Murad.
She totally worked this gown!  


Cobie Smulders in Alberta Ferretti. 
The pop of color is fantastic along with the deep v neckline and draped shoulders and waistband that accentuates her waist. The draping of the gown flatters her so well!

Evan Rachel Wood in Elie Saab.
She is wearing my favorite designer and black which is a color you could never go wrong with. Sexy!

Jayma Mays in Zuhair Murad.
I'm crushing on her tiered ballet pink gown! Her pop of pink on her lips is perfect! It's so sweet and feminine yet elegant.

 Kelly Osbourne in J Mendel.
How amazing does she look!? All I can say is grown up and wow!

San Francisco Opening of Symphony and Opera

Last Wednesday was the 100th season of the Symphony and it's opening night gala. Then on Friday was the 89th opening night of the Opera. This is like the red carpet of the Oscar's for San Francisco. Both gala's bring out the city's biggest socialites, former and current mayors, politicians and anybody else who is part of the exclusive socialite world of San Francisco.


There is the Symphony celebrating its 100th Anniversary. The celebration was held in a Stanlee Gatti designed tent and ended in the morning with dancing and cocktails. To make this celebration special the Symphony invited two soloists to join the performance: Itzhak Perlman and piano genius, Lang Lang.

So many beautiful gowns made it difficult to narrow down my favorites!

Then there is the Opera's opening night gala, An Evening in the Forbidden City, came to life in the Opera House where 1,200 Opera Ball patrons and Bravo! members mingled in classy top hats and lavish gowns. Of course there was an opera too. It was Turandot which gave the red carpet its luxurious theme with traditional Chinese drummers, royal red fabric and glowing lanterns.

I'm lucky to have a front row seat of what the ladies will be wearing because the designer I work for dresses many of the Chair's or former chairs for the opera and symphony. It's an exciting feeling to know that I saw their gowns start from a sketch and then see it go onto the red carpet. I get an inside peak into a world that not everybody knows about  ;)

Till the next gala!
