Happy Glamorous Halloween!!

Saturday night I was at a Halloween party with some friends and thought I would share some pics of us in costume!

I decided to go as “Harrietta” Potter while my husband dressed as one of Lord Voldemort’s Death Eaters (insert evil laugh here)

Glamour Friday: Inside the Kardashian Sisters’ Closets

I readily admit that I do NOT watch “Keeping up with the Kardashians” (or whatever the show is called?) but I will admit that the sisters are pretty glamorous looking.  So I thought we should take a peek into their closets for today’s Glamour Friday post!!!

Kim’s Closet

 

Kim's Outerwear Collection

Kim's Jewelry Box

Here are some of Kim’s tips on organizing a glamorous closet: “Always use the same style of hangers throughout,” she says. Dresses are arranged long to short, and jackets are sorted by texture. And to create a boutique-like vibe, she likes to “showcase the most beautiful” pieces. She also says to “hide T-shirts in a cupboard or drawer. It’s so hard to keep them nicely folded.” Finally, toss anything that doesn’t fit. “I sell those pieces on eBay and donate the proceeds,” she says.

Khloe’s Closet

I do love that stunning chandelier hanging in her closet

Now this is heaven!!!!  Shoe Heaven!!! Angel

What’s a closet without a few orange Hermes boxes!!

Kourtney's Shoe Switch-Out

I want those leopard print boots!!!

Apparently there are more than 100 pairs of Louboutins between the 3 sister closets – crazy!!

Which closet is your favourite?  Think I’m lusting after Khloe’s closet!!  It’s a Glam Slam for me!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Glamorously yours,

Sarah’s House is Back!!!!

 

A new season of Sarah’s House begins on Tuesday, October 18th!!  I had a chance to walk through the house that Sarah and Tommy transformed…and it was absolutely stunning!!

Also, Sarah Richardson is seeking lucky homeowners for Season 2 of Sarah 101.  Check out the details below:

Ever dreamed of inviting Sarah into your home and having her re-imagine a room in her signature style? Well, this just might be your chance! Sarah is currently seeking spaces in need of a high style makeover for her hit series, Sarah 101. Is this your dream come true? Here’s how it works:

  • We are seeking motivated individuals who will receive a decorating/design makeover from HGTV’s top design talent, Sarah Richardson and her partner in design, Tommy Smythe.
  • Each makeover will have an approximate value of $10,000 in product and over $15,000 in design services, and will be conducted in a short period of time depending on the scope of work (approx. 2-4 weeks).
  • We are seeking dramatic “befores” as the backdrop for magazine-worthy “afters.”
  • We are looking for adventurous, excited homeowners (or renters with permission from the landlord) who are willing to open their door and invite in one of Canada’s best design teams to treat their home as a blank canvas.
  • We are seeking interesting spaces with loads of character and “great bones”, which can be transformed through re-decoration or light renovation (no extensive structural work), and homeowners willing to share their design adventure on camera.
  • The team will consider your taste and style notes when designing your room, but you may not be consulted on the actual plan or design, so being a fan of Sarah’s style is imperative. Visit www.hgtv.ca/sarah101 to see the spaces transformed in Season 1.
  • The television production will contribute a retail value of $10,000 to your project, and any expenses above the allowed budget will be the responsibility of the homeowner.
  • The TV crew needs to have full, unsupervised access to the room throughout the duration of the project and full co-operation of the homeowner.

Interested? Please fill out an application form at http://www1.primevista.com/submissions/casting-call. We look forward to receiving your application – and don’t forget to attach the pictures! We appreciate all applications but only suitable candidates will be contacted. No phone calls please.

 

Enjoy!!

Glamour Friday: Chic Living Room

Glamour Fridays are back!!!  I don’t know about you, but I certainly missed researching and writing these posts about glamorous rooms.  Because here on the Glam Blog – it is all about adding glamour into your home!!

This living room is a GLAM SLAM for so many reasons:

 

  • Gorgeous blue tufted sofa with gold accent via the cushions
  • The zebra rug — hello, everyone needs some zebra or animal print in their home!
  • Black painted fireplace — how dramatic is that?  Love, love, love it!!
  • Grey painted walls that act as the perfect neutral background for all the exciting furniture and accessories
  • Gorgeous brass lamps with black lampshades
  • Stunning silk drapery framing the large windows
  • The fantastic tub chairs wrapped in that beautiful chinoiserie fabric
  • And last, the lovely glass coffee table.

What do you think?  GLAM SLAM or total SHAM?  Have a great weekend!!

Glamorously yours,

Christine xoxo

RIP Steve Jobs – An Icon for our Digital Age

Apple announces Steve Jobs has died

Apple has announced the company’s co-founder Steve Jobs died Wednesday night.

He was 56 years old. Jobs went on medical leave from Apple in January saying he wanted to focus on his health.

 

When I received this email blast on my phone, I sat there stunned for a moment.  The world had just lost an extraordinary human being that had revolutionized the way we interact with technology in our lives. 

So yea, although this post has nothing to do with interior design, the legacy Steve Jobs left with his Apple product will continue to impact the way I use technology with my business, Social Media and my blog in the future!!

RIP Steve Jobs…..the world has truly lost a true visionary and genius.

And the winner is……

Congratulations Dayna!!!  You won the Glam Blog Giveaway for the $100.00 gift certificate from InVU!!  I will be forwarding your email to InVU and they will contact you on picking up your gift certificate!  Enjoy!!!

Glamorously yours,

Christine xoxo
