Look Familiar...So Chic!

Does this 'So Chic' Living Room look familiar?
It should - it's Candice Bushnell's living room and also the cover of the Elle Decor 'So Chic - Glamorous Lives.Stylish Places.' decor book....
[above - image/caption via Elle Decor] In the living room, Caio Fonseca’s Fifth Street Painting C04.13 overlooks a 19th-century tufted bustle chair from Bijan Royal, a vintage brass floor lamp from Retro-Modern, Moroccan poufs from John Derian Co., and an Oushak rug from ABC Carpet & Home. The couple purchased the Louis XVI sofa from writer Jay McInerney, and the ivory-and-ebony box is from Amy Perlin Antiques.

Here's some other great images of Bushnell's tres chic home she shares with dancer Charles Askegard, and was decorated with the help of Susan Forristal.....

Stylish Sexy Interiors...

I had my 1st night out on Saturday evening [several hours away from home & baby Isabelle whilst my husband aka Daddy 'babysat'] and went to dinner & the movies with my two best girlfriends - to see the ultimate girl movie -'Sex & the City 2'! Finally Carrie Bradshaw has found the light...much like myself I used to devour fashion - being the industry for over 10 years I adore her comment to a sales girl of one of her once favourite boutiques '...I've been cheating on fashion with furniture...' quips Carrie Bradshaw in the new Sex and The City 2 Movies! Hurray! I cannot tell you how much I adored the set design of this movie - in particular Carrie & John [aka Big] Preston's apartment.
Not to spoil the movie for you they sold the penthouse apartment after the wedding debacle and moved several floors down in the same building - regardless the apartment is to die-for and will surely strike a number of interior trends... especially that of wallpaper and a sleek elegant monochromatic palette lit with shiny surfaces and visually enriched with pattern, print & texture. You will want to wall paper and upholster everything! The signature colour seems to be - a velvet sapphire blue  - think all shades of Carrie's Manolo Blahnik wedding shoes.
With this in mind I came across some fabulous images that Elle Decor [U.S] has recently published and was dying to share them with you... designed by Production Designer Jeremy Conway [designer for the series and both films] and decorator Lydia Marks of Marks & Frantz.
Hope you enjoy these images as much as I do... S x
