The Glam Lamb

After work today I popped into 45 Three on Fairfax (south of Wilshire Blvd. for those LA peeps) and of course they had great stuff, but nothing that’s on my list that I’m currently needing for my new digs.

If you live in the area you should totally stop in there.  They are having a sale and there are some really great pieces.

Here’s a few snaps I took.

I’m convinced that World Market could be one of the greatest stores ever.  You’ve got food, wine, home decor accessories, furniture, serveware,  and wrapping paper all uner one roof!?  I mean… I don’t know about you, but this place is a total score.

Here are some of my favorite pieces on their website that I am totally into.

This afternoon I stopped into one of my favorite vintage furniture shops – 45 Three and of course – the store looked gorgeous with amazing little vignettes for customers to enjoy and be inspired by.  This specific set up blew me away, and half of it was already sold!

How gorgeous is the settee, side tables, bargello pillows, lamps, end tables…..  I could keep going!!

Well – if you live in LA – the store is on Fairfax just south of Olympic, take a peak for some fantastic inspiration, or a great find!!  (And – tell Staci you are friends with me!)

This weekend I was in Chicago for a wedding, and my sister took me to the greatest store EVER.

Space 519 is an eclectic mix of fashion, jewelry, home accessories, furniture, and apothocary.  The buyer for this store is brilliant, because everything is so perfectly chosen, it’s pretty much curated by a genius with serious style.

Space 519 -900 N. Michigan Ave. Chicago, IL 60611

Such a gorgeous bar cart! Chic. Chic. Chic.

Amazing upholstered, animal-print chair.

Bracelets by Joomi Lim. I can't stop thinking about these, I might be calling them to order one! I need.

Drama. Love.

These nail polishes are so popular right now, they are designed to blend with your skin tone.

Anna Spiro… the owner of home store, Black & Spiro in Australia has sick style.  Her shop was recently featured in Adore Magazine - and I couldn’t take my eyes off of these two images for a really long time.  I was just totally mesmerized by how fun and kick-back these rooms are while still haing a bit of glam to it.

These two images have totally inspired me for my own home spaces:

I am in LOVE with this bedroom. The rug is sick, and so are the lamps and the bedding.  That bed skirt is bananas!!!  I am definitely going to pull a few ideas from here.  Stay tuned for new bedroom pics in the near future.

How darling and happy is this chair!?!  WELL – I am about to have a chair re-upholstered in my living room, and I picked an ikat print by Robert Allen that I love, but I a now thinking that I may do a different fabric on the back.  This is awesome!!

How BANANAS is this!?!

Let me first make you jealous:

1. It’s Gorgeous

2. It’s $100

BUT – I didn’t buy it!

WHY??? —- Because someone got there before me and put it on a layaway plan. (Who’s jealous now!!??)

Let’s call this a TOTAL BURN.

It was at Gum’s Antique Mall in Hawaiian Gardens, CA

Hey Everyone!

Today I have done a guest post for Abbe of Studio Ten 25 while she’s been in NYC for Blogfest!  Her Week of Chic has had several bloggers feature what they find glamorous.

Abbe not only has an amazing blog with the most inspiring ideas – but her E-shop is BANANAS!!! LEt’s just say I want every single item she has for sale.  Her taste is unique and fresh, and EVERYONE will find something they love from her store.

This pendant is currently on my “WANT” list:

Armand Riviera Iron Pendant

I love spending the day outside at a flea market.  Last weekend was great – it was warm and sunny and I just strolled around at the Irvine Valley College Flea Market and had a fabulous and relaxing day!  I had never been to this flea market before, a bit of a drive – but they had some great finds.   (Irvine Valley College Flea Market – 1st Sunday of the month – 5500 Irvine Center Dr. Irvine, CA 92614)

Here is the round up of some fabulous vintage finds!

This wicker room divider opens up 4-fold, and was stunning in person.

A vintage/mid-century lamp had such gorgeous details.

The wicker rocking chair was so cute, and the bean shaped desk was beautiful in person. Would be perfect for a small-home office nook.

Amazing vintage ribbons - $1.50 per roll. I purchased 3! Perfect for gifts - and so personalized.

Vintage necklace. My other purchase of the day. I loved it, but plan on using an extension to make it longer.

These baskets were handmade in Uganda. I've been seeing exact baskets like these in Elle Decor. They ranged from $23 - $35 per basket. These would be great for pet toys, magazines, kids stuff, etc.

Skull beads from Ethiopia. How fun and kooky are these!?!?

You should be able to find at least one bamboo mirror at a large flea market in So. Cal.

This pair of chairs have a fantastic shape to them. Just needs a good reupholster job!
