Juxtaposition

To me nothing comes together more beautifully and elegantly than the contrast of femininity and ruggedness.  Let me give an example... a dainty and delicate chiffon dress matched with a pair of leather riding boots.

                                          
   Ralph Lauren's throw back to the Wild Wild West

                                                            Chunky turquoises jewelry.  I love...


These same principles of gruff meets grace also applies home decor.  I think of a large wooden four poster bed in the mountains with contrasting ivory satin sheets.

Much of my appreciation with these types of aesthetics comes from the fact that I have

 spend a lot of time at my family's Ranch in Big Bear, CA

My mom, being the amazing woman that she is, built this beast from the ground up and has

 designed it from the inside out with the same principles.  Ruggedly chic. 

Perfect tote for a weekend getaway

It's Friday afternoon and I'm about to leave for the day. 

I hope that everyone has a fantastic weekend! xoxo
