Happy 2009!

Happy New Year from Monaco

(awoke to a New Year with unlimited possibilities...)

(Wishing you all the very best in 2009; may it be your best year ever! Sources, Luxuo & Studio Schuller.)

So precious

(Remembered seeing this picture in Vogue a few years back and was captivated by how precious model Angela Lindvall and her son appeared in the editorial...the same feeling resurfaced when I stumbled upon the photograph via Marek and Associates.)

Party On

Inspiration: Casually Chic Interiors

(becoming so inspired by informal and relaxed interiors...a mix match of styles and furniture has awaken a fierce urge to redecorate my space, or perhaps a new space...anyone interested in a beautiful modern bungalow? Source (all images), Desire to Inspire.)

Thank You!

(the genuine kindness and generosity of bloggers I've had the pleasure to correspond with recently has really touched me. I would like to single out these special individuals (see below)...without them I would not have heard about or figured out how to create polaroid-like images as above, which by the way is a superbly fun and innovative program that turns any JPEG image into a polaDROID...A huge thank you...)

Or, the delightfully inspiring interior decor bloggers, Kim and Jo, creators of Desire to Inspire, who added Simply Seductive (shown with its former banner title) to their Holiday Reading Guide (yippee)...
