All The Pretty Pictures...

I'm really hoping that this Christmas (yes, I know it's a little early to be discussing the season of giving but hey, gotta let momma know early what I want so she can plan accordingly :-) ), to receive some great fashion books for my coffee table. And you thought people in fashion didn't read! Yes, these books are generally larger in size compared to the standard size books on the shelf, and there tends to be a lot of pictures as opposed to words...I'm still trying to see where the issue is coming in.

To me, books are sorta like the ever evolving world of blogging. Some blogs are a little too wordy (for me) with little to no pictures, some blogs have great photos to accompany the blogger's thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc., and then there are those blogs that are full of pretty pictures. Get my drift? These books are full of pretty pictures, ideas, and thoughts on some of the most influential people in the industry - just like most of the blogs on the world wide web today. Hope my mom is taking notes :).

I'll have paninis and strawberry orange mimosas with a side of Prada. Thank you! I had the ultimate pleasure to spend my lovely Saturday morning with one of the most endearing, heartfelt, stylish woman I've ever met. Her home - pure, simplistic, modern perfection. Her wardrobe - what dreams are made of. With an amazing family and a circle of friends that rival "The Sisterhood", she lives what most people would call - A FULL Life. Her sartorial and domestic style is well curated and sharp. Chic and clearly defined, everything within her home and closet seemed as though it was filtered through a well defined funnel of what works and doesn't work for her taste and lifestyle.

She's really good friends with my boss (yep, the owner of these crazy Dries), and it was definitely necessary to feature her on this blog, sooner rather than later. I feel so honored to have been allowed inside of her amazing home, and absolutely privileged to bring these beautiful images to you.

Now, if you'll excuse, I have to go organize my wardrobe - thanks to my special guest, I now have direction on what perfected style looks like...
