Style Musings | Décor Desires: A Ballerina's Manhattan Paradise

Ballerinas have such grace, calmness and elegance to their bodily movements and personally have always been mesmerized by the dreamy costumes. Today, step inside a ballerina's (and pianist) Manhattan apartment, designed by 25 year old Sasha Bikoff. With travels and years spent in Paris and Miami, and now residing in New York City herself, it is no wonder she was able to inspirit her client's creative life to create a "closet de curiosities."
 
There is old world luxury drawn from 1970's glamour and 1950's nostalgia and don't you just love the way Bikoff crafted an artfully antique, yet elegantly modern space?
 
Bikoff's flawless mixing of patterns results is undeniable, as seen in the foyer and master bedroom, covered in hand-painted de Gournay wallpapers.

I am always incorporating foliage and leaves in my spaces because it creates a certain exoticism, as if you are entering another world. - Sasha Bikoff

Speaking of which, am personally captivated by the room above, the regal canopy bed composed with restful lavender makes this so grand!

Fashion Musings | From the Runway: Antonio Berardi Resort 2015

Admittedly later than most for sharing resort collections, but as a very famous saying has it, better late than never...and so, starting this series with what is possibly the most favorite of the resort 2015 collections, by Antonio Berardi.



For what may be a lifetime, have constantly had an inner battle between choosing to be super girly or serious tomboy, and it wasn't until the discovery of Chloé some few years ago realizing that both could be possible!

Berardi's late sixties and early seventies inspired pieces in this collection features a mix of laid back feminine with a nod to edginess and structured volume in vivid color schemes and rich textiles, concluding to a fine balance for all who can't seem to choose between one or the other.

Visual Vignette: In The Mood For Golden Mustard & Easter Pink

Came across these playful sandals from Teresa Helbig's 2014 fall runway and have since been seeing the combination of a bit of gold, a bit of yellow mustard and lots of Easter pink here and there. Crazy about these sandals, I've a thing for sky-high, thick wooden heels, such a nod to the 1970s and an obvious hint of my love for vintage aesthetics.

Quite a coincidence, seeing that I'm planning on dyeing this skirt (I have two) into a pink and a grey color for an update.
