I spent this past weekend doing a different short of shopping with a friend… Home furnishings! She is taking the plunge and buying her first place! Congrats to her, but with this big accomplishments comes the idea of furnishing a home from scratch! After moving back from college she moved home and has been there for the past several years saving for this big day.
Now she has no desire to bring with her any of her bedroom furniture from her parents home, she wants to make this place her own. Working in entertainment and fashion, she feels the extra pressure to make this home a statement. She does not want to take a classic “Better Homes and Gardens” approach to decorating, but young youthful and modern.
I decided to share some of her inspiration tear sheets with you that I found to be fabulous.
The key to making a lot of this happen is the dilemma between investing in quality furnishings such as The Furniture Market’s oak furniture or something like an Ikea. We took the lessons we’ve from years of shopping and correlated them into this situation. Invest in quality where it counts, bed, sofa and shoes – all things that would keep you from have back problems in the future. Then fill in the holes with less expensive items lamps, book cases and dresses!

Hopefully young women will begin to learn the truth behind their celebrity idols’ photo shoots and look to real progressive women to idolize rather than critiquing themselves for not being flawless like the pictures.
That is my profound statement for the month. Now back too shopping and parties!

A few weeks ago the Los Angeles Fashion Council launched ‘London Calling’ in order to send five designers to London this coming February for a three day trade and salon style show. Four talented Los Angeles based designers have been pre-selected to go to London; Mila Hermanovski, Bryan Hearns, Alana Hale and Curly V – the last spot will be filled through a Facebook contest.
The Los Angeles Fashion Council is less than a week away from finding our our fifth and final designer to join us on our London Calling trip. With 20 designers entered (entries are now closed), our contest has unearthed some fabulous talent in this city and over 3000 people have voted for their favorite designers so far.
Not a LA designer, vote for your favorite designer or visit the Kickstarter page and donate any amount to the cause – and donations greater than $25 receive rewards from from the selected designers!
