"When you realize that a beautiful interior has very little to do with objects and a whole lot to do with spirit, general well being and upliftment you find the soul of interior design. If you have respect for your surroundings and everything has it's perfect place you interact with your world differently you carry yourself differently. My father used to say that the state of your surroundings is the state of your mind. Look around your home, let your home be the foundation of your aspiration."

Why me??

So I had to share what I woke up to this lovely Friday morning.  I have worn these shoes one time!!  I love my dog but why did she have to eat my brand new shoes?  My husband's shoes were right next to mine and she didn't touch his only my little beauties.

The culprit



The shoe that was untouched


And the shoe that didn't make it


 Let's take a closer look a the damage shall we

My love affair with Zara

It's no secret that I love fashion and one of my go to stores is Zara.  Whether it's a great pair of shoes or a gorgeous coat I can always find something that has to come home with me.  Here are a few favourites I've got my eye on for fall.


I love these velvet loafers.  They would look great with jeans!

A great neutral scarf with an interesting pattern


A great pair of boots with a little western detail around the toe

I love a great easy dress and this one is a must have


A velvet coat to dress up any casual outfit


This jacket has great detail and colour


Another great coat


Can never have too many coats!!  This one has leather sleeves.  Love it.


Don't be afraid to add a pop of colour with a great bag
