Inspiration Room: Arty Entryway

 

There is no denying the "cool" factor of Courtney Cox's Malibu, CA beach retreat, featured in this month's Elle Decor. The entryway definitely tugged at my heart strings. Interior designer, Trip Haenisch, combined paintings by Harland Miller mixed with a rustic bench and a Turkish rug to create a warm but modern expression on guests upon arrival.

Trend Alert: Tough Girl Bling

      

One of my signature style necessities is beautiful bling with an attitude. I pair my current favorites with a white t-shirt, jeans and killer heals for an easy night out or mix them with a flirty dress for a style contrast that constantly has people asking me where I bought my bobbles. Above are a few pieces I'm hoping to add to my collection.
