I've always loved this mixed media gallery wall from Domino...

I've been too busy to finish decorating my new apartment (or take any pictures) but here is a peek at our living room. I especially love our gallery wall of Harper's Bazaar covers!

etsy shop {little brown pen}

I stumbled across a cute etsy shop today called little brown pen. They sell pretty photographs and postcards of the streets of Paris and I love their groupings by color.

I'm loving the movement and happy colors in these original abstract paintings by etsy artist, Elis Cooke.

new art {made by girl}

I'm excited for the launch of Cocoa and Hearts, a new line of original art by blogger, Jen Ramos. I've followed her site for a while and love her calling cards and prints. Here's a little peek of what's to come (love the colors!):

horse photography

I've always loved horses and was obsessed with riding growing up so the trend of using large scale horse photographs (particularly those that are sepia or black and white, and a little abstract) is one that I totally love and doubt I will ever tire of. This image of Michelle Adams' dining room in Lonny (which I've definitely shared before) is a great example:

As always, etsy is a great place to search for affordable art and photography:

And for some serious gorgeousness check out Shelli Breidenbach, equestrian photographer whose work is currently on display in the Ralph Lauren rooms of Webster & C0 at the Boston Design Center - amazing!

three reasons to visit the mfa

1 - art of americas wing: after months of construction, this wing has finally opened with 53 new galleries showcasing over 5,000 works of art produced in north, central, and south america. there are also nine period rooms and four behind the scenes galleries.

2 - avedon fashion 1944-2000: this traveling exhibit, which originated at the international center of photography in new york, is the first comprehensive survey of avedon's fashion photography since 1978 and has been in boston since august 10 of this year. the exhibit ends on january 17 so this is a must see for anyone who is a fan of avedon, fashion, and photography.

3 - scaasi: american couturier: this exhibit displays over 100 designs by arnold scaasi who began working in new york in the mid-1950s. he focused his early career on custom made clothing rather than ready-to-wear and his clientele consisted of broadway, tv, and movie stars, politician's wives, and ny socialites. he launched his first ready-to-wear line in 1956 and by the end of 1958, he won the coty american fashion critics award for best designer of the year.

polaroid collage

I love Erin's post today about the Palihouse Hotel in LA, especially because it's given me some inspiration for using the polaroids I have stashed in boxes around my apartment. I'm obsessed with the idea of a huge collage like this one - the individual images grouped together create a unique piece of abstract art.

love this
