BELT IT

Love this idea of using belts for hanging shelves, especially with some vintage glass! (via Poppytalk)

COLLECTIVE LIVING

I feel fortunate to have a job that allows me to go into the personal spaces of some very talented designers. It's so revealing to see how people live when the cameras are off and often leaves me very inspired to perk up my own space. What I've mostly been intrigued by are personal collections, whether they are fabrics, jewelry, books or exotic treasures—how they are organized and curated has been very interesting to see. Here are a few shots from my recent trips.

COME AND GIVE ME SOME

The above looks are from Balmain's Spring/Summer 2012 collection and are very true to their chic rocker vibe. I can totally see both sexes rocking these looks: skinny pants, tuxedo jackets and vests all mixed with leather details—raaarrwww!
