Guest Post: The Art Filled Home

3 Artful RoomSometimes, the most minimalist of artwork can have a big impact as in this golden rectangle of color. A picture light shines on the painting, while tiny contemporary floor lamps flank the long velvet sofa. It’s a beautiful space.

4 Artful RoomA vast gallery of eclectic artwork fills the wall behind the sofa in this black and white living room. Gallery walls offer a wonderful opportunity to personalize any space with a blank wall.

8 Artful RoomNo available wall to display art in a room? Then take a cue from this lovely Bohemian chic space and hang your favorite painting or print in front of a book shelf. This piece looks great with its wide white frame that blends seamlessly with the white shelves.

It Rains and Rains

tfmrain5.jpgtfmrain3.jpg tfmrain11.jpgI’m a woman and of course I am exaggerating. It doesn’t rain and rain all the time, it just rained for a few days – which is more than reasonable for May – but I get cranky everytime I see a grey cloud. Cue the misery song: All the curly ladies, all the curly ladies – Oh, oh, oh…

To make matters worse I can not cut my damned long (for me) and unshaped hair because for the wedding it will be the longer the better. But I promise you on June 9th it will turn into a bob again – which will let me leave them curly without any problem.

Last but not least, I could FINALLY get my hands on an American Apparel white nail polish (topped with a matte coat) and I LOVE it! It’s a nice change and a remarkable transition from the dark winter nails to the overly bright summer shades.

Best of Cannes: Day 2 & 3

Doutzen Kroes in Atelier Versace

Emma Watson in Chanel Couture

Liya Kebede in Alberta Ferretti

I’m going to give in to the mainstream title here; the endless red carpet at Cannes Film Festival. Everywhere I look I see a new gown – or another cocktail dress from the same actress the same day. If I were to cover the festival daily the blog would have been all about red carpet which I really don’t like so I wanted to round up all my favourite gowns from the last 2 days. Though still there are too many picks.

My favourite is – just like everybody else – Deutzen Kroes in a time stopping Atelier Versace gown. Thanks to Emma Watson, Liya Kebede, Olga Sorokina, Sara Forestier, Aime Mullins, Zhang Yuqi, Zhang Ziyi and Jessica Miller / black & white suddenly became the official color of red carpet. No complaints here.

Click to see the best looks from Cannes day 2 & 3 – and just hope to look half as gorgeous at that wedding you are waiting for a long time. Good luck!
