NY NY, The City Of Dreams

I spent the majority of last week in NYC & every time I'm there, I always stop to take a deep breath, let it out & let the sights and sounds filtrate me.

The photo (above), I think I'll turn into a watercolor & frame as my own work of art.

No need to travel to Europe-- save your cash & visit New York. The city is full of the most gorgeous & intricate architecture.

One of my all time favorite stores. I was so excited to be able to visit. I spent a good 45 minutes in here; it's choked full of ideas & inspiration!

Vogue, W, Vanity Fair, Brides, Glamour, Details. You name it, it's there.

This building is publication royalty. 

I stopped by the 12th floor (Vogue) on my way out & had a mild heart attack.

Below the elevated park.

    

The attitude says it all.

I've Got That Fuzzy Feeling

Faux Fur.  

What a genius creation.

I myself, love a beautiful faux fur piece. And now a days, they're everywhere :)

We have an over sized faux Chinchilla throw, draped over the front of our bed; & let me tell you; those nights when you're feeling 'extra tired, don't want to move an inch- exhausted', that blanket is the silkiest to cuddle up on.

Nearly every retailer sells them, & you can find them anywhere from the low end to the high end of your budget.

I've compiled a list of faux fur throws that would add the perfect touch of comfort & glamour to your space.

 

(Target Home Collection Faux Fur Throw in Silver $24.99)

 

(Mink Faux Fur Thermal Throw from Amazon  $58.99)

  

(Oversized Safari Faux Fur Throw from Amazon $79.99)

 

(Arctic Fox Faux Fur Throw from OKA $164)

Need a little help visualizing a faux fur throw in your living room, bedroom, or den? Here are some awe-inspiring photos to get your creative juices flowing...
