WEAR THIS || LIVE THERE NO. 5

Written by: Niki Lesmeister Neon is trending right now and not just in sportswear and construction vests. Add a pop of it to your person and place, and your nouns will take on a breath of new life. I’m wearing it here in a conspicuous neon green bustier, but pairing it with a full skirt […]

WEAR THIS || LIVE THERE NO. 4

Niki here again for this week’s Wear This // Live There! We really love this tree. Almost as much as we love open, airy, feminine details. This backless dress from Pink Lagoon in La Jolla, CA is easily at the top of my list of summer favorites. It’s long and elegant with appropriate coverage throughout, yet […]

WEAR THIS || LIVE THERE NO. 3

Hello Oh, I Design Readers – Niki here again – for another Wear This // Live There post! What is black and white and fun all over? This dining room, and outfit! Black and white are traditionally considered a more sophisticated pair, but it’s easy to keep it light and happy by mixing patterns or materials […]

WEAR THIS || LIVE THERE NO. 2

I’ve got jungle fever. But we’re not talking about my love life, here. I like to think that bringing a little wild side to my space or my person makes me feel a little less stiff, and that the walls separating my living space, my desk, or my wardrobe from the outdoors become more fluid, […]

WEAR THIS || LIVE THERE NO. 1

Mixing patterns doesn’t necessarily have to mean creating a busy, gaudy, or baroque setting. Start with a fresh, elementary palette such as black, white, and shades of grey, and build on it with a few simple patterns within those hues. The patterns will compliment each other as well as add subtle, yet memorable detail to […]

SICK DAYS

Well this is basically what the past three days have looked like for me. But not so lovely and comfortable…I have been out with what I first thought was food poisoning and then come to find out my husband and I both got a stomach virus. It was terrible…I wanted to be asleep for all […]

WEAR THIS || LIVE THERE

 So…I got inspired tonight by the lovely photo you see on the right of one of my good friends in San Diego, Conni, of Art in the Find. She is a talented stylist, all things ranging from fashion to interiors, this fantastic gal is one-of-a-kind. I love how she styled her outfit… it’s casual but […]

WEAR THIS || LIVE THERE

  I am a big fan of this guy’s outfit (maybe it’s because I think my fiance has every piece of it) and I am in awe of Orlando’s dining room. It made for the perfect Wear This / Live There post! Wear This / Live There  

WEAR THIS || LIVE THERE

I’ve been missing this column and wanted to share one I have been holding onto. I wish I could pull off that outfit and I would be more than happy to be all cozied up with a book in one of those chairs. I hope everyone had a lovely Monday! Oh and by the way….I […]
