Kelly Wearstler: Rhapsody

I received a sneak peak from the Publisher of Kelly Wearstler’s new book, Rhapsody. And I must say, I am quite impressed.

Here are some of my favorite parts.

I love the insight that this book gives you to Kelly’s creative process.

As usual, it’s perfect. Get your copy here.

Curiosities.

I posted about this book back in Spring 2011. I wanted it.. BAD, but wasn’t willing to pay $500 for it… (Now the price has quadrupled at $2,000.. WOWSA!)

Many of you spied it in our Family Circle shoot and asked where I got it. Unfortunately, it is sold out, but you can get a similar copy here for 25 bones!

Holiday Gift Guide: For Him.

Who doesn’t want Siri for Christmas? Because my better half is still a year away from an upgrade, sadly, he will not be getting a 4S.. but some of these other items may be under the tree. (PS: #2 are the BEST TEE SHIRTS EVER!)

The World in Black and White.

For many of you who have been reading this blog for some time, know that I have slowly converted much of our house to black and white. Next up is my office, which I can’t wait to get started on. As you can imagine, I was beyond thrilled at the release of Celerie Kemble’s new book.

Add that one to the Christmas List.

Girl Crush: India Hicks.

I have long admired the style of India Hicks. This model, designer and entrepreneur is a mom to four (that’s right) FOUR kids. She makes Island Chic look so friggin’ effortless.

There are so many reasons to adore this style icon. Let’s start at the beginning…..

India is the daughter of the famed British designer David Hicks and her mother, Pamela Hicks is the daughter to the Earl and Countess Mountbatten of Burma. She is the Goddaughter of Prince Charles and served as one of Princess Diana’s flower girls. Born in London, India was named in honor of her Grandfather- Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy to India, who is responsible for giving India Independence in 1947. Hence, her name.

She’s had a successful modeling career with the likes of W magazine and Ralph Lauren.

In 2006 she partnered up with Crabtree and Evelyn to launch her own collection of fragrances. She has since published many design books and even hosted Bravo’s Top Design in 2008, which she sites as a “weird and wonderful experience.”

India moved to the Bahamas and resides there with her partner, David Flint Wood and their four children, Felix, Amory, Conrad and Domino. They have renovated several Bahamian Bungalows.

I love these shots… BEFORE….

…and AFTER.

Some of these properties are rented out to the public. You can live a day in the life of India Hicks here.
