Decorate as You Dress — Flower Power!!
I am way overdue for a Decorate as You Dress blog post and the recent purchase of these fabulous floral wedge heels inspired me. Aren’t they absolutely gorgeous for spring/summer. And what an easy look to incorporate into your home decor this season. Love the feminine chintz pattern on these seat cushions (image from Style at Home magazine)
Here are a few more images from the same home featured in the April Colour issue of Style at Home Magazine.



And of course, you can never go wrong with having fresh flowers in every room!!

In the latest spring issue of Dabble Magazine I wrote how Florals in home decor are a constant trend during the spring/summer season. You can read my latest column here.

So, will you incorporate something flowery into your closet and home decor this season. Let me know by leaving a comment below!!

September Socials
I love the month of September..not only because fall is coming and its always a time of rejuvenation but because of the great Interior Design Social Events that start happening. And you know me……gotta always be in the middle of all the action! 
Tonight I attended AYA Kitchen Design Party and was surrounded by utter kitchen lust. If you are considering a kitchen renovation than call me so we can head on over to AYA Kitchens together.

Tomorrow I am attending a breakfast at Holt Renfrew given by KORHANI Home to hear about their upcoming collaborations, upcoming holiday collection and a sneak peak into spring 2012 trends. Korhani makes chic but affordable rugs for your home – inside & out!
I absolutely adore this rug from their Limited Edition Korhani Runway collection—how GLAM is that!!! It’s called Burlesque No. 4 – Blue – Cream.
Then I’m off to the Toronto Fall Home Show for a fun Tweet-up mingling and tweeting with Toronto’s top home, interior design, renovation and decor friends and bloggers. Can’t wait!
But right now I’m feeling a bit nostalgic for this time last year. On September 21, 2011 I went down to NYC with approx. 100 ++ Design Bloggers from all over North America to be in the audience of the Nate Berkus Show. And it was a jam-packed 24 hours. Click HERE to read all about my adventure this day last year!!

Can’t wait to keep you caught up on more exciting social events for the rest of the season!! Have a great day!!
Glamorously yours,

Decorate as You Dress!! Kate’s Lace Wedding Dress
In honour of the Royal Wedding, today’s Decorate As You Dress post is all about gorgeous lace home decor inspired by Kate’s stunning wedding dress.
Kate Middleton’s wedding dress was an ivory gown with lace applique floral detail designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen. The train and bodice are decorated with delicate lace applique flowers, handcrafted using the Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which originated in Ireland in the 1820s.

So now here are a few items I found to help you get started on infusing your home with lace inspired home decor!
The cellular, organic patterns of this Coral Café Table add a little excitement to the café experience indoors or out!!
The Alessi La Rosa Fruit Bowl designed by Emma Silvestris, symbolizes femininity, grace and love. How perfect!
These chairs are a stylish designer-inspired lace grille design that is quite delicate and fragile, with butterflies. Designer Janne Kyttänen captured nature at its best with these beautiful stackable stools.

California based Floral Art have a new piece in their collection. Jennifer McGarigle has been inspired by her fashion design background and has encompassed lace with lucite and silk to create this divine piece of furniture. I am in love with this chair!! This is definitely a GLAM SLAM!!
This 5-hook lace hanger is adorable for a little girl’s room or an ultra-feminine bedroom or hallway.

I love this wallpaper…..it looks like real lace!! Absolutely fabulous!

And I just adore this pendant light….when it is turned on look at how the design creates lace shadows on the walls. So dramatic for a foyer or large hallway!
