Caitlyn Jenner, previously known as Bruce Jenner, makes her photoshoot debut in Vanity Fair
Last April Bruce Jenner, the 1976 Summer Olympics gold champ and more recently of Kardashian clan fame, came out publicly as a transgender, and rightfully the most famous one of all, during an explosive interview with Diane Sawyer on "20/20." In the next issue of Vanity Fair, in an editorial titled "Call me Caitlyn", Jenner is going to debut and present to the world his female side. Way to go!!!!
The interview is with Buzz Bissinger and the photoshoot is with Annie Leibovitz. The first promo photo revealed by Vanity Fair is spectacular, no surprise here. It is provocative, intimate, and strikingly beautiful.

It takes enormous courage for someone like her to break the silence and shine the spotlight on an issue that makes a lot of people uncomfortable. I love it !!!

FIND OF THE DAY
In my shopping bag this Monday:
This quintessential Versace is the perfect summer resort dress and I plan to basically live in it.True, it is a pricy proposition for a mini-dress but it is one of those staple pieces that will be serviceable for a long while regardless of the next trend on the horizon.

Tricky Trend: ring & bracelet combo
I love flashy, eye-catching jewelry ... and if they are a vintage beauty (like this one) -- well you can't go wrong there! Right?
Photo: Oscar de la Renta Rose Pave Bracelet With Ring
The ring and bracelet combo has been a hot trend for few seasons but lately high end designers are getting in on the trend with fabulous designs at affordable (well, all is relative, ...) prices. Giuseppe Zanotti's designs are my personal favorite and this one here is just amazing:
GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI - ARIEL VINTAGE HAND BRACELET at $695.00
Now the key is to let the jewelry be the star of the outfit. So, if you decide to try this trend, leave all other jewelry at home and keep the silhouette of the outfit clean, simple, and monochromatic.
Thank you for reading and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
XOXO

Hacienda Stairway done right
After Architectural Digest (clipped to polyvore.com)
I just love this stairway. I found the photo on polyvore and the attribution is unclear. It appears to be a photo from an Architectural Digest editorial and the text under the photo reads as follows:
"Custom-made moldings amplify the elegance of the entrance hall, which
contains a Regency settee and a 1920s Navajo rug; the sconce is by
Vaughan, and the umbrella stand is a Ming-dynasty sake jar. The art
displayed along the stairway includes a colorful work on paper by Joan
Mitchell."
I don't think it applies to this photo. The rug is not a Navajo rug, neither is the settee a Regency style one. But who cares, it is magnificent. If I have to guess it is a recent renovation somewhere in So Cal and they stayed very true to the Spanish Colonial Revival style.

Fabulous Finds for your HOME: Rörstrand dinnerware
I love blue and white design for dinnerware. It is a timeless staple that seems to never go out of style. Think french county and Toile de Jouy or blue and white chinoiserie. But this spring this old and trusted theme has been given a modern revamp in the form of blue and white botanicals. I fell in love with the Rörstrand dinnerware collection:

Project Decorate: Outdoor Living Area Redo
My next design project is up and running and will be a challenging one. The house my friend is buying is a short sale, in bad condition, and with not much potential (if you ask me) but she likes it and it is within her price range. Escrow has not closed yet so I will not be posting pictures at this time but I will post this one as it gives a good idea about what we will be up against:

My friend has a vision of transforming this enclosed porch into a mini oasis (as tropical and snazzy as it can be done, as she put it, but for little money).
So, I first went looking for inspirations to figure out what exactly my friend had in mind. So here are some of the finalists (her picks):
Lush Loggia Patio (clipped to polyvore.com)
So stay tuned I will be posting the moodboards for each in my next posts. In the meantime which style you think will work best for our poor enclosed porch?
Thank you for reading and hope you will check back to see the moodboards and the final redesign.
XOXO Mimi
