Clockwise: Easy beauty keeping the skin natural with a seaweed mask.

Petite leather backpack are a must have, not only are they super adorable but practical, especially packing for an weekend getaway. Turquoise beaded jewelry is always a summer boho staple. Voila, the perfect shorts to go over your swimsuit. These two-toned ankle boots that will take you right into September.

Weekend Picks: Cool Chrome

Chrome is a staple in elegant decor. From conversational pieces to hardware this shiny, reflective material is hands down my favorite finish when sifting through the brushed steel, satin nickel… brushed nickel selections.

If your design aesthetic favors the more transitional or contemporary look consider this polished mirrored finish to make your rooms pop.

Weekend Picks

This weekend I watched the 1979 film “Manhattan” and was inspired by the black and white film that was filmed as such solely to give  New York City a “great look”.  This week I’m stealing that idea from the cinema pros with ways to give your space a black a white look.  The Weekend Picks are sleek metropolitan [and a little trendy ] ideas perfect for a Manhattan inspired Pied-a Terre.
