Although, I am pretty sure Minnie Driver’s Los Angeles home is far from a cottage, it is however a 1940’s ranch style. The approachable rooms and romantic prints make it feel every bit like one. Minnie Driver brought in fellow Brit, Peter Dunham to help her with the interior design. The results are a carefree, kid friendly home with bohemian touches and an exotic mix of textiles and fabrics.

2015 Oscar Awards Red Carpet
Happy Monday! Did you have a chance to catch the Oscar’s last night? I watched the first half but couldn’t stay awake for the ending. Here are my thoughts on the red carpet fashion. Nothing blew me away but there were of course a number of beautiful moments. Neutral gowns were a top choice. Some I loved, some not so much.
Here are my picks!
FAVORITES:

I am not loving Jennifer Lopez’s eye make up but she looks stunning in this ultra feminine beaded Ellie Saab creation. (Ellie Saab is one of my favorite designers.) |

Meryl Streep is hands down one of my favorite actresses. She made the right choice with this very flattering Lanvin skirt suit. |

Chiwetel Ejiofor’s classic black tux was the perfect choice in my book. I am partial to a man in a black tux! |

Jennifer Aniston has worn some of my favorite looks over the years. She did not disappoint this year in a sexy, beaded, nude Versace dress. The more I see this dress the more I like it! |

Lady Gaga’s dress was not my favorite. I think maybe the exposed tattoos and red gloves put the look over the top. She did however sound amazing singing the Sound of Music Tribute! |

Again, why? Blanca Blanco’s dress was just not a good look! |

Chloe Moretz is adorable and only eighteen. I just thought this dress had too much material! |
Design Crush – Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad = actress, fashion designer and blogger’s home was featured in InStyle magazine a while back. I love the carefree mix of color, texture and vintage finds. And THAT BAR??? To die for! I am in the process of styling my own bar area, don’t think vintage glassware with gilded details won’t be part of the mix. Lauren is best known for her role in the show, The Hills (2006-2010). She also pens a blog full of beauty, fashion and decor tips. Lauren designs a very chic fashion line, Paper-Crown as well. She’s a busy girl…. |
