I can’t help to think these gorgeous gowns by Marchesa are reminiscent of Roman body armor and the slinky quality of a 1930’s flapper dress. Marchesa has got to be one of the best American designing houses of all-time.  You may disagree, but each gown is just so specially detailed …

I woud love to have these hanging around my humble abode: -A literal heart vase by Veneri Design. Definitely roses (red or black) are flowers of choice! I’d even use ceramic markers to sketch some sort of tattoo on the heart. -Ceramic head juicers and ‘chia pets’ by Polly George. It’s like …

    The people at Anjolee Jewelry were kind to send me a CUSTOM  Tear Drop Link Gemstone Bracelet with 10K white gold and amethyst gems. It arrived neatly packaged in a handsome wooden box wrapped in a Bow. You know how much I love bows, so this was huge! Anywho, you can …

    If you happen to be in Montreal, you should get to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts before October 2 to see the archived collections of Jean Paul Gaultier. As a huge gaultier fan, I’m kinda bummed that this exhibit probably will not be touring in the US, at least …

  One of my summer projects (besides trying to train Mr. MarMar & Ms. Coco to use the human toilet) was to build my 6 year old son a dream loft bed! I knew this would take lots of time and hardwork, but if it meant no more sidekicks to …

  I was really inspired by the Alexander McQueen Faberge handbag I saw at The Met a few months ago. Here is a photo of  it. Although it’s definitely not as intricate as the McQueen one, the one above that I made is surely less expensive and still gets the look …

Check out these Victorian-style necklaces from Mama’s Little Babies. My fave is, of course, the fishing kitty and kitty trio and the ‘pussy white’- awww, heck, I love them ALL! I have to say the reason why I love the Victorian era is the profuse use of BOWS! Seriously, even straight …

Check out these cool, unique bags I found on Etsy! 1) Broundoor Sparrow bag– It’s a bag in the shape of a Sparrow-friend! So cool…. this is great for a stroll through the woods or something equally quaint like that. 2) Momento Mori Bag– Okay, this bag is super cool because from …
