Daykoor: Interior Design for your Home Office

By now, you should really know I have quite the obssession with chairs.  In case you’re new here…my fascination with chairs is an odd one and I’m sorry in advance.  Well, not really sorry because you’ll get to see all the wonderful chairs that will bring happiness and joy to your home.  That was a tad dramatic.  Moving on….chaaaaaairs!

These swivel babies were a Pinterest find!  Can you believe it?! Me either!
 
 
 
 
 
 
$349
 
Brought to us by PB Teen aka Pottery Barn
 

Now, I’m perfectly aware that it’s for a teens room but Pottery Barn NEEDS to make some magic happen!  Wouldn’t one of these look chic for us regular adult people of the desk sitting world?!  If I were designing an office for someone…those chairs would definitely be a main part of the design.

 
 
 
 
In case you’re like me and like pink or something “wild”…
go for the zebra print which slightly higher at $369
 
 
 
And if you aren’t looking for a chair that swivels
Check out the Ooh La La arm chair
PERfection!
 
 
So…what do you think?

London Fashion Week: Two

I’m sure people are wondering why I keep up with fashion week(s) when it’s rare “curves” are even seen during this time… Well as mention before, I love fashion.  I look to these lines as inspiration for many things, life, outfits…interior design colors.
The possibilities are indeed endless!
Shall we jump back across the pond? Yes! Let’s go!

Milan Fashion Week: Take Two

Yesterday officially marked day one of Paris Fashion Week.  Can anyone tell me where the month of September went?  Feels like it was just 90 degrees and New York was the city to be in.  Time sure does fly!  Well, my mind is still living in Italy and enjoying the spoils of Milan Fashion Week.  Hold on tight as I rally the photogs to snap some fashions. (I’ll totally tag team posts between Milan and Paris…we’re jet-setters baby!)

Don’t leave without your bag!

I’m just gonna let that sink in for a second or five…..I think I officially love her now!

Where to get a similar sexy dress:

Best Dressed at the 2012 Emmy’s

Who really watches the Emmy’s?  I mean, really, watches them?  Most of us are tuned into whatever channel has the red carpet arrivals and after that it’s back to whatever we were doing.  Personally, I glace in every now and then to see if something funny is happening but that’s about it.  Know what I love?  The dresses!!  The jewels!! The shoes!! Sometimes that hair.  I pulled together lots of pics from the arrivals that you can see here in the previous post….H E R E in an easy to view slide show.
Everyone looked absolutely amazing but of course as with everything in life…you can’t have everything.  So, my fave dresses and women in those dresses are in this tiny (maybe medium) spill of glamour!  Take a looksie!

Monique Lhuillier and gorg shoes by Christian Louboutin
This is definitely an amazing color!  The dress, shoes and her incredibly cute pixie cut is freaking adorbs!  She looks comfy too, bonus!
Ariel Winter

Katherine Kidd
This is my absolute top look from last night!  Would it be wrong to ask the designer to make this exact dress for me to wear around the house?  Probably so but I want it!  Last year, this 14 year old, yes 14, wore a lil bit of cleave, this is definitely age appropriate.  Cute.

J. Mendel
Van Cleef & Arpels jewels & Judith Leiber bag
(Revenge…September 30th people!)
That smokey color is amazing!  It was flowy but was still very sexy!
Hayden Panettiere
in
Marchesa
Ok, this dress is absolutely beautiful…no questions asked.
Think there was something off about it and the only thing I could think of was Hayden’s height…definitely would’ve flowed better on someone taller.
Lucy Liu
in
Atelier Versace
On the red carpet, she said this dress was heavy, it looked like it!  I enjoyed that she wore because she looks fantastic!  The dress looks like it’s dripping hot metal…talk about an entrance!
Sofia Vergara

Zuhair Muraid
Hell-O Sofia!  At first glance, totally not feeling but then, she turned around (hence why that pic is first) it’s mermaid gone absolutely sexy! And the color, WHOA!
Ms. Kelly Osbourne
(and her gorge hair)
in
Zac Posen
Love, love, love this dress and her hair!  I just wish she’d pick a different color now but it went extremely well with this lilac tone!
Kat Dennings & the twins
Honorable mention to her bf
Nick Zano (I love his casual look!)

J. Mendel
Gotta admit, all I can see in these pics are her boobs!  The cut on this dress did the damn thang, seriously!  I didn’t even see her pull on the top while she was walking!
Julie Bowen

Monique Lhuillier
Thank you Julie Bowen, for pulling out something neon!  On a night like this, at first, didn’t think I was gonna see much in the color department but OMG!  The ruching, the bandeau style top. Love it!
Padma Lakshmi
in
Monique Lhuillier
No words for amazing she looks in this dress, the dress itself and the color!
Christina Hendricks
in
Christian Siriano
Ok, there was clearly a theme last night and that theme was cleavage!  I’m not mad at it!  Being curvy, I embrace big boobage…where it right like Christina did and you’ll look incredible!  The color she’s wearing here is so perfect with her red locks and peachy/salmo lips…loves it!
Ok kiddos!  You’ve seen the gowns, the shoes, the jewels and the clutches…which star had your favorite look from Emmy night 2012?

Milan Fashion Week: Fendi Edition

I know, I know…the faves are late.  Better late than never in this case, right?  I think so! Believe me when I say, I’m usually never late…in fact, I’m normally quite early.  As a perfectionist who might have a little OCD, I get worried about being late, rushing and messing something up.  In turn, things tend to be more tediously planned.  Seems a bit to par since it’s fashion week time…a runway show NEVER starts on time so it’s only fitting.  Enough of my issues, let’s look at the styles!

Starting with Fendi…watched live, fell in love, only hated ONE thing and I WILL need that dice bag come March!

Honorable mention just because I do love Mr. Karl Lagerfeld…this is the ONLY thing I didn’t like…instantly reminded me of the Flintstones.  The tote in this pic deserves a mention as well! PLUS…dice bag/clip on!!

Thank you FENDI!

Paws Up!

Aww look at mamas baby!  That there is the love of my life… Chipper Jones.  Yes, I love my Atlanta Braves and Larry Wayne Jones so much I named my dog after him!  Call me crazy or just a fan but you know you can’t resist that face!  Besides that loveable beagle face, those were my “credentials” and name tag…

Around this time last Saturday, I had the privilege of volunteering my time to helping shelter animals.  I am a true pet lover indeed!  As mentioned in “Around Town” the 5th Annual Paws in the Park is an one day event to raise money for Michigan’s shelter animals.  Gotta say,  had a total blast!  Can’t wait for next years event!

Here are a couple of pics I managed to snag while dogs strutted their stuff on the catwalk for the costume contest:

If there was one thing I could complain about, it would be my lack of photos from the event!  As someone that was helping, I wasn’t able to snap as many pics as I would’ve liked.  Assigned to the games, contests and prizes area, I became a judge for the many events for dogs and their owners.  Now, I love my dog and cat buuuuut you won’t see me dancing and dressing them up (in public) someone could see me haha!  Anywho, these animal lovers did just the opposite!
Volunteering is one of lifes greatest joys (next to shopping and maybe sex lol) but if you are able and have the time, do it!  Find places in your area and give some time.  Some places may not advertise they need help but the chances of them turning you away are pretty slim.  If it really isn’t your “thing” try searching for something you like doing and go from there.  Truly warms your heart and helps that whole karma cosmic cosmos thing 🙂
