Perfectly Imperfect

I hope you weren't alarmed if you heard a loud scream coming from this direction late last week. It was just me opening the box of Deborah Needleman's new book, 'The Perfectly Imperfect Home'. The editor of 'Domino' has done it again! The book reads like a good friend sharing decorating advise (the kind that will make your home F-A-B). And rather than photos, the pages are beautifully illustrated by Virginia Johnson (think Kate Spade watercolors). Well worth the wait.


A few posts today - keep scrolling down!!

Stella

When it comes to faces, Stella Tenant's rocks. But not only does the Scottish native have great features, she's got great style. The home she shares with her French photographer husband, David Lasnet and their four children in Scotland is one of my favorites - bright, beautiful and comfortable. It's no wonder she was Karl Lagerfeld's muse and the one chosen to help put Burberry back on the map.

With her daughters modeling for H&M.
