Having a Ball

I am too exhausted to finish my other post but I know everyone loves opening their Habitually Chic email in the morning so I am leaving you with this beautiful photo of Jacqueline Bouvier and her sister Caroline Lee Bouvier as a debutantes that I saw on Vogue.com. The Hotel de Crillon Bal des Debutantes was recently held in Paris and the Junior League Cotillion takes place this weekend at The Plaza. They both harken back to a bygone era where girls behaved like ladies and wore organza dresses to match. Oh, those were the days!

I'm ready for my close up!

I've been busy all day working on my client projects which included shopping for carpets at Paul H. Lee. If you haven't checked him out in the D&D, I highly recommend that you do. I found exactly what I needed and he couldn't be nicer! And now I have to prepare for a photo shoot at one of my other projects in the morning. Too bad I don't think it will look like the one in the photo above! Anyway, I am sorry to say that I have no time to write a proper post tonight. I hope that you will forgive me and check back later for a fabulous holiday themed post! Ciao!

UPDATE: Thanks for all the warm wishes. The photo shoot went very well and you can see the results in the next issue of Lonny magazine on December 10th!

Seven Pretty Purple Dresses

Vintage 60s Lilac Mini Dress - Ramona West, $55
This mod style dress will look fantastic any season. Layer on the quirky and chunky jewellery during summer and spring and then layer on the cardigans, coats and stockings during winter and fall.

Claribel Drape Dress - Stewart + Brown, $182
Made in USA / 96% Hemp
This dress looks so rich and refined in the mulberry shade. From the fabric print to the cowl neckline and pockets, its all so right!

Pretty Birdie's Cowl Neck Jersey Dress
- Stephanie Teague (Etsy) $95
Made in North Carolina / Hemp + Organic Cotton Jersey
You can get this dress custom made for you and pick your favourite shade as well (in case you're not as purple loving as me). What could be better than a dress that is handmade with care and consideration for you and the planet?

Georgia Jacket Dress - Stewart + Brown, $284
Made in the USA / Organic Cotton Platinum Twill
I do adore a cute jacket dress. They always look sharp and a little edgy too. I think this mulberry shade is a softer and more flattering option than black during winter.

Ecoganik Purple Sash Dress - BTC Elements, $112
Made in Southern California / Organic Cotton
This dress looks extra sweet and special thanks to the long sash and full skirt. Adorable!

Vintage Party Dress - Good Eye (Etsy) $155
Ooh, what a stunning and delicate vintage dress. This will always look classic and timeless.

Kelly Barry Natale Cross Back Dress - BTC Elements, $156
Made in California / 92% Hemp
I noticed on my recent trip to Sydney that every second girl was wearing a maxi dress! This hemp dress in the viola colour is the perfect eco option.

Make mine a double!

Now that I'm almost finished decorating my apartment for the holidays, I was thinking that I should invite my friends over. Only problem is that I don't have a bar so I've been pouring through my files for inspiration. The holy grail of bars of course belonged to designer David Hicks. When I attended his son Ashley's recent lecture on his work, he posted the photo above and quoted his father who declared, "I like rows and rows of tonic bottles, apple, tomato juice, two or three syphons of spirits lined up behind each other; it gives a generous, welcoming atmosphere, and if a bus-load of friends descend upon you, you are ready for them." Looks like I have some shopping to do!

Designer Miles Redd has my second most favorite bar that takes it cue from David Hicks. He also outlines a list of essential items for a well stocked bar in House Beautiful here. It's a perfect list for me to take shopping!

Miles' bar and a few of the others include tortoise shell glassware that I think I will be adding to my list. I love the look!

One of my other favorite bar looks was from Eddie Ross' old apartment featured in Domino. Eddie collected all of his silver from the flea markets so looks like I will be making a few trips there myself!
