BRIANNA MCCARTHY THE ARTIST

I came across this artist last night and fell in love with her work. I know it's silly but I felt a connection with her automatically. I know it's because her work is so beautiful but I think that us having the same last name and being from the same homeland might have played in it also. Whatever the reason I LOVE LOVE LOVE her work. Here are a few samples of her work an the link to her blog. I hope you love her work also.

I really LOVE looking at furniture. Today's Etsy Love is dedicated to cute Furniture finds. i think my furniture style is shabby chic/ vintage/modern (I have no clue). Each piece definitely has Black Orchid written all over it whatever my style. Hope you enjoy.


Pair of Vintage American Button-Tufted Wing Chairs, Ralph Lauren Herringbone Linen
I tend to love any furniture that is tufted and wing back. I don't know what it is about the look but it looks so sharp yet comfy. If price were no option this would be mine! This seller has a store in NC and I'm thinking of visiting a friend just to stop by this store. smh



Cream Faux Leather Victorian Chair
This Chair is so perfect. I would feel like a queen sitting in it!


Louis Arm Chair - Featured in a Treasury
I picture myself in a cashmere turtleneck, lace skirt, wolford stocking and pumps sitting in this chair with my legs crossed. This chair is so chic. It says "I'm a lady, thanks you very much".



Shabby Vintage Children's Rolltop Desk - Chic

Though this is a child's desk I would love to use it. Its so perfect and has so much character. Do you think I can fit it?


Now I'm thinking my style is also Victorian.....Idk..... Hope you all enjoyed. What's your furniture style?

UMMMM UMMM GOOD!


I've been searching for suits for the guys and I came across this pic. I know every woman can agree, there's just something about a man in a suit. Well not just any suit, a well made tailored suit. When I saw this pic I knew that this was the look I wanted for the guys. How sexy/amazing/refined do these men look in their suits? I love it! What do you think?
