Holiday Hugs and Best Wishes

So many blessings to be thankful for this holiday season as we chill out Miami style with family and friends. 
May you all spend quality time with your loved ones, and may we all savor the conversations, the hugs and kisses more than we do the gifts.
Cheers to an amazing Christmas.

HELP! Last Minute Gifts For the Eternal Procrastinator

                                                                        1/2/3/4/5

Yes, it's true. I'm quite possibly the worst holiday shopper ever as in, every year I wait until the 11th hour to get my ish together. In all fairness, this is not my wish. But for many designers, the holiday season is the busiest time of year. Everyone wants their home looking fab, which means my own home gets neglected, ditto my shopping.
Anywho, grandma arrives today to the rescue to set up the tree and decorations for the 'lil man, so all will be well at home. I have also pulled together some last-minute gift ideas, with a full collection being featured today over on Arcadian Home. The collection was inspired by my love affair with mixing gold and silver finishes, with splashes of color and whimsical items, as seen in this recent project.

Check out a few of the selections being featured to get you started on your own mixed metal journey and to finally finish your holiday shopping: 

Gold Starburst Mirror

Shreve Table Lamp

Ackerman Panelled Mirror Box

Rock Beach Portrait Camera

Free To Be Transitional Sculpture

Caroline Bar Cart

Terracotta Pillow

White Nesting Bowls

Loreni Urns

Someone's definitely getting that vintage camera and pillow! I'm loving all these as gifts for friends, family and of course, you. Now let's go shopping!
