What's New! DryBar

This new hot spot just opened up in LA and the concept is sweet and simple: the idea is centered around a "blow dry bar" - no cuts, no color - just blow outs for $35 (wash included). They even have a "menu" of different blowout styles to choose from. And it gets even better...they serve cocktails so you can relax and sip on a cosmo or glass of wine they make your hair (and you) look fabulous. Stop by on the weekend between 10 & 2 for "brunch blowout" and enjoy a complimentary croissant and mimosa or pop in for "happy hour" before a big night out. I love the interior of the salon - fresh, bright with touches of sunny California yellow. Now, if only I lived just a little bit closer! Click here for more info. about drybar.

Photographer Richard Powers

I just went on a mini mental vacation by scrolling through the portfolio of photographer Richard Power...his work is absolutely beautiful! It's obvious through his photography that he has a real passion for interior design and architecture. "I am self taught - I have been taking pictures for as long as I can remember, composing the frame in my mind then choosing the moment to capture the light, only now there's a camera." The fact that he's self-taught makes his work that much more amazing. Enjoy browsing through his work! Click here to view his website.

Quote of the Week

"You may concentrate on appearances all through the rest of your house, but in the bedroom comfort should be supreme. I think that bedrooms should also be very intimate rooms - they should express your personal preferences in every way...Of all the rooms in the house your bedroom is yours."

- Dorothy Draper, In the Pink

Sneak Preview: Pottery Barn Summer 2010

I haven't been over to Pottery Barn's website in a while, but I was pleasantly surprised when I received the Press Preview for what to expect this Summer. Most of the new product is typical PB style - fresh, clean and beachy - with some really beautiful unexpected accents. I especially love the Natural Curiosity dinnerware collection and the coral colored beaded Lafayette Chandelier. After browsing through these gorgeous photos, the spring/summer seasons can't come fast enough! The new summer collection hits stores on March 23rd.
