catch a falling star
hi guys, how was your weekend? i hope you had a chance to kick back a little. i took an hour at the beach personally but mostly have been tethered to this laptop working furiously on my site. getting to the blog is second only to the beach as an indulgence. i’m signing with relief knowing this will be the last thing i do tonight. and maybe finish an old movie.
i can finally exhale and speak freely about about oh so secret project i’ve been working on, whew! it’s a ‘tastemaker tag sale’ held on march 22nd. i’m beyond excited to be working with one king’s lane. of course i wanted to do a container sale but we’ll have to see if we can manifest that once this one happens! getting it together has been bittersweet cause so much of what i’ve been collecting has come to the apartment and i lovw living with it. especially the art from paris. it’s all in the sale and i’m nostalgic knowing it’s truly one of a kind. art is just like that i guess when it speaks to you!
i had the top shot of jean harlow on my desktop all weekend and just realized that she’s the inspiration my bedroom at the moment.
anyway i wanted to capture everything while it’s here. the chandelier is jerry-wired to my ceiling fan, there are no curtains and it’s totally un-done.
i love waking up to this painting on the desk across from my bed.
well there’s sill a little night left so i’m going to dim the lights and call it a nuit.
and thanks for helping me with the photo you guys. your input made me stop second guessing everything. hope you have a sweet night and deep dreams!

Love the eclectic mix in the room. The headboard is beautiful, and I’m a big fan of vintage paintings.

How exciting! I can imagine it’s hard to let these things go, though — you wouldn’t have picked them to bring back if they didn’t speak to your heart somehow. Congratulations on your OKL deal and bonne chance!
