Make a big statement!

One of the biggest trends I’m loving this season is statement necklaces. On my lazy days I like to dress up a plain t-shirt or tank with a chunky necklace. It’s an easy way to spice things up!

Check out these cool pieces by FALCONIERE on Net-a-Porter….super hot!

And so the search begins…

In a few weeks I’m moving into my new home, an amazing apt in the financial district (yep, I’m moving further downtown). The best part about moving is getting the chance to start fresh and decorating my new place. I’ve been super excited about the move, because I want this to be my first real “grown up” apt. Your home is your sanctuary. It’s important to make it a place you look forward to coming home to after a long day to escape from the world.

I spent my Sunday furniture shopping in Soho. Oh my, so many options….so many ideas…and so freakin expensive! Check out some of the cool furniture I saw today…

Oooh, I LOVE the design of this coffee table! I am a huge modern furniture lover!

I’m obsessed with this Milo Baugham shelf unit–Perfect for my new place!

Hmm,this table could possibly work.The base and round shape has a feminine feel that I like.

I’m in search of cool dining room chairs.This one is cool,but may be too bulky for my new place.

I definitely want to upholster some furniture in my apt using printed fabric.

This one is funky, just not sure if it’s going to flow with the rest of the apt.

3 wks to finalize everything!
I can’t wait to show you guys the final product!

Xo,
Kim

I stopped by a few Design Week parties in SOHO after work on Monday. Since my office is in SOHO, it was a hop-skip-and jump away!

Here’s my evening checking out super chic and super expensive bathrooms and kitchens.
All I did was drool….drool…drool!

I had a great time and met some really cool people that I’m definitely going to keep in touch with! That’s NY for you…always connecting the dots!

DESIGN WEEK in NYC- Part II

I finally made it over to the ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) Design Show at the Javitz Center on Sunday. Being that I’m a huge modern furniture fan, this was a trade show I didn’t want to miss out on! I LOVE Sleek-Clean-Cutting edge designs!

Check out all the cool things I saw at the show. OH, SO COOL!

OMG….my camera’s battery died at the show! Urghhh! I was so annoyed! So onto PLAN B- Blackberry camera phone to rescue. Surprisingly, the pix look pretty good!

I HEART MODERN FURNITURE!

Design Week in NYC – Part I

Administrator — Mon, 18 May 2009 06:09:01 +0000

I am a HUGE fan of modern furniture! One of the things I always look forward to every year in NYC is Design Week. It’s always so refreshing to check out other creative industries outside of fashion. I find it so inspiring! Besides checking out the cool furnishings at the ICFF show, I LOVE attending all the cool parties all week long. Free food, free drinks, and free goodies…how could I say no right?

Here I am party hoping in SOHO yesterday.
What a lovely way to spend my Saturday evening. Oh, so FUN!

Check out Marumi Restaurant HERE! It’s a great spot my friend Calvin introduced me to. So so good! I LOVE it when people introduce me to yummy new spots in the city!

SEXY-LUXURY-CHIC!

I stumbled onto Kiki De Montparnasse a few years ago in Hong Kong at Lane Crawford-my favorite dept store in the whole wide world! I personally think Kiki De Montparnasse’s quality and designs are much better than Agent Provocateur. They’re all about the little details!

I saw this on shopbop.com this AM…how HOT is this?!
This is what sexy LUXURY chic looks like!
