Design Crush: Liz Caan

I came across Liz Caan Interiors a few months ago and just remembered how much I really loved her design. It's layered and bright and preppy, which are things I love most in design. Her website is so much fun to look through where you can find more images like the ones below. 

Is this kitchen not fab?
 First, I love the black and white horizontal stripes and I love that she did them on the ceiling as well. 
Second, check out that booth. Other than being such a smart use of space, this is actually a table that families use. No excuses in sitting in front of the TV for dinner!

I love the botanical prints that she has hung on her windows. Would you consider doing that?

Is this not one of the most precious girls rooms you have ever seen? I love the colors and the wallpaper. When she is a little older, just take the drapes down and change the chandelier and the room could turn into a teenagers room pretty easily!

The chevron stripes on the stairs are so chic.
 Are y'all sick of chevron yet? I have my moments, but deep down, I still love it. 

I love love love the art work. It could go in so many different rooms but I love that such a whimsical painting is over a formal sofa. 

I am a sucker for monograms, especially on bed linens! The leontine linens on that bed are gorgeous!
 I also love the silhouettes of her children on the wall. 

And last but certainly not least, this wallpaper. 
Swoon...

Workin' It

I  had a baby during the holiday season which was magical... except for the whole over indulging part. I've got 20 pounds to loose and am more motivated than ever to do it. I finally got clearance from the doctor that I can start working out. I'm really excited except for the fact that all I have are too small gym clothes or maternity leggings, so I need some new kicks and clothes to get me started.
I want to invest in some key pieces that will not only give me the right tools to work out, but will also make me look good doing it! No more excuses I say!


I love that I can workout and spend time with Tilley-Gray while on a run. It's the best of both worlds!


Yoga is another great way for me to shed these pounds and my gym offers amazing classes!
And yes, I'm a sucker for infomercials. Listen, if this is what keeps Gwyneth slim and trim you know I'm going to try it. A friend andI bought this DVD when I was about 8 months pregnant and when it showed up on our doorstep, the husband asked me what the hell I thought I was doing. I assured him that it was for after the baby. (And I started this week. It's no joke. I pour sweat and can hardly walk the next day... I think it's working!)


What are some of your favorite exercises? Any gear or gadgets that you can't live without?

Midnight in Paris

Have you seen it yet? If not, you should! I watched it twice in the same night because it was just that good. I've also been watching some pretty terrible but entertaining TV late night with Tilley-Gray like Dance Moms and Real Housewives. Just sayin...

Neon Brights

I don't think I've worn neon since my high top converse in the 5th grade, but these images have me changing my mind. What do you think about neons?
