I recently came across the gorgeous paintings and prints created by Michelle Armas. I love the vibrant colours and energetic compositions of her work. Don't you?

Mix it up!

I'm all for mixing things up in a room. 

I love seeing art collages on walls, and lovely arrangements on mantles, tables, windowsills, everywhere. 

If you don't have a fireplace, why not make one, like Rita Konig did? 

If you love it, you can find a place for it, that's what I say. Anything goes!

Life is too short to live in boring rooms. A room can be your own beautiful world.

Have a wondrously inspiring week, everyone!

Fab Frock Friday: Elie Saab AW 2012 Couture, Part 2

I'm still utterly enchanted by Elie Saab's Autumn-Winter 2012 Couture collection. I just had to post more images of the collection, for this week's FFF. The sunset outside my window is in beautiful shades of peach and blue, so these dresses seem perfect for the moment. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Have a fabulous, weekend, everyone!
