new discovery: jules reid

thanks to the wondrous internet, i have just discovered jules reid (same initials..i know!!!) who is a fashion designer based out of both NYC and virginia. i have to say i love her colorful style and carefree use of what looks like her own original prints.
after looking at the styles on her site..it seems like ol' jules and jill are on the same design page, getting inspiration from among others, jackie o, india & Pucci..the big 3 as we like to say around here!
i have been know to wear some craaazy pants in my day..and these would fit right into the collection..
the ikat print above is just dynomite.
and this one just screams.."chablis anyone?"
ps. she is rocking some amazing big jewelry in her lookbook..but (wah!) there is no mention of it on the site..hey jules..where m'i gonna get me some of those jewels?

new obsession: pillows

today i was home waiting for the dryer repairman to show up (9am appt. showed up at 11:15..oy do i need a wife!) and so i spent too much time obsessing over new pillows for my boudoir that could truly use some major spiffing up! here are some of the sweet choices i found.


the LR could use some pillows too. so i am thinking i have got to go with a red theme in there, while in the bedroom i am yearning for some navy! KwID imperial trellis below is most certainly drool worthy..but at $300 for the pair..i am not jumping on it.
this beauty below is very sweet...right?

flavia black

remember my chairs? well the fabric arrived from roberta roller rabbit, i have handed it off to the marvelous john vasquez..and he has promised to return 2 slipcovers to me next week. i really do not want to admit how excited i am. keep your fingers crossed.
