for her

Posted on December 10, 2012 by stylekoo

Hello peeps! So, it’s been a while since I have been on here and a lot has happened in the past few weeks. Firstly, my son, now 18 months, is officially a wild child. He does not stop moving! This makes it very hard for me to get even a minute to sit down and try to write a post, or do anything for that matter. And secondly, we have decided to move out West to be with my lovely hubby… although I will be sad to say goodbye to my family and friends here, I am so excited to get out there and have our family back together again!!

Anyways, I’ve put together a few gift guides… today, gifts for those gals in your life:

decorating // lookin’ for a good shag

So my sister and I were talking rugs the other day… she wants a new one for her living room to make it a comfortable place to gather since they don’t often use the space but would like to start. So, I suggested this Moroccan Shag rug… similar to the beautiful but expensive Beni Ourain rugs but very affordable. And guess what? IT’S 75% OFF TODAY!!!! Let’s do this, sis.

These Beni Ourain rugs can cost upwards of $5000!! I don’t know about you but that ain’t in my price range… get the Moroccan Shag for less than $350 while the sale is on!!

Gold accents, large scale art, fabulous lighting… what’s not to love about Ivanka Trump’s Upper East Side apartment? Maybe just that it’s not mine…

Kelly Wearstler is the coolest! Her creativity is truly inspiring. I’d love to get my hands on a copy of her new book, Rhapsody (available tomorrow!!). Here is a sneak peak…

Her interiors always stand out but I am the biggest fan of her home collection line.

Are you going to add Rhapsody to your Christmas wish list?

Well, they did it again dudes and dudettes… Vogue found yet another fabulous interior to feature on their Vogue Homes page. Loving Alina Cho – CNN correspondent and Fashion: Backstage Pass host – and her girly glam NYC Midtown apartment.

I am really slacking on here, aren’t I? Sometimes life can get so busy it’s hard to find a minute. And last week was the worst! All of us took a turn with the flu and it was nasty!! Now that fall is upon us, I’m hoping I’ll have more time to work on the blog:)

Anywho… here are some amazeballs pics of rooms decorated by Pal + Smith. I love their use of textures, colours and prints.

Oh and Pal+Smith has a great collection of furniture – check it out here. I want this…

celebrity style // adam levine

Posted on September 17, 2012 by stylekoo

I think Maroon 5 frontman, Adam Levine’s Hollywood home is my favourite celebrity style so far! I love the classy bachelor pad look and I love all the retro pieces. And holy moly, look at that view!!

Wow, it’s been 2 weeks since I last posted… I am getting pretty lazy over here! Actually it’s hard to find the time some days/weeks.

Here’s yet another fabulous interior featured on Vogue – the home of Camilla Freeman-Topper, the woman behind fashion label Camilla and Marc. So girly with hints of edge and I love the pops of neon here and there!
