I can’t get enough of my leather biker jacket in the fall, and I love incorporating metal pieces into urban spaces, but in the frigid winter months these two materials can feel cold and rough.

Incorporating a soft and plushy element like sheepskin can turn that edgy style into something more welcoming. The brilliant designers at Alexander McQueen know this and created a leather vest that’s oh-so HOT!

This concept works just as well in the home. Simply, add a furry layer into the mix to turn any metal furnishing into something cozy and fun.

Who wouldn’t want to curl up in this chair now?

With Valentine’s Day here, it seems like the perfect time to talk about the color of love.

Everywhere I turn, I see the color red.  Lots of it.  In different shades and I love it! 

Red is beautiful, bright and full of passion.  It’s one of those colors that makes a bold statement, especially in the bedroom.

And, it shouldn't be limited to just Valentine's Day.

I believe there’s an easy way to create a romantic atmosphere that allows you to feel sexy and sophisticated all year long.  Inspired by the woman’s effortless street style, simply mix red with pink and purple to soften the vibe. Then, pair rich textures and soft fabrics to make the room feel warm and inviting.
