love affair

i love pretty fonts. i used to doodle with text all day in class when i was younger, trying to dot my “i’s” in fancy ways or make my “y’s” curve down in the most beautiful fashion. so as you can imagine, viewing different typefaces online is a real hobby of mine. veer.com is a great place for this, with billions of typefaces to browse through. my current favorite on their site is a font called ”affair,” which veer.com describes as, “affair. it’s an event and you’re invited. affair is an extraordinary new calligraphic typeface by alejandro paul with a party full of swash characters, ligatures, and ornaments.” lovely!

greg natale interiors

i am in love with these interiors featured on desire to inspire today. designed by greg natale, these rooms/spaces are works of art. the colors, the patterns, the beautiful flourishes…i could go on and on. i love that it’s glamorous and elegant with some very daring twists -- like the loud, graphic black & white rug or the unexpected pops of red in the pillows and chairs. it’s not something i would normally lean towards -- i prefer a more traditional look with a few eclectic finishes - but i couldn’t take my eyes off of it. it’s bold and it’s out there, and again, i love it.

david yurman fall 2008

picked up the latest vogue, and abosolutely loved david yurman's fall 08 ad campaign featuring kate moss. it's without say that all of his ads are gorgeous - done with minimalist styling to enhance the beauty of his heavy and chunky jewels - but this one especially caught my eye.

just now getting a look at the resort 2009 collection by marchesa. georgina chapman and keren craig, the designers behind marchesa, create elegant, feminine and goddess-like gowns season after season. they did it again this time with their signature style of drapes and pleats adorned with heavy and elaborate embroidery. the simple color palette of the collection only enhanced the stunning details of each gown. as always, marchesa collections are glamour and grace combined.
