made my heart melt monday...tigers!

i have been loving tigers lately...

i don't think it has anything to do with me being a former tiger (high school mascot)

i think i am just mesmerized by their powerful presence and of course their beautiful coloring.

but...if i was ever close to being attacked by a tiger ask me again how i feel about them!

favorite photo of a tiger...ever!

where is there red on the glass?

baby tigers are so sweet

swimming tiger

babies love tigers too!

powerful

tigers are pretty (and scary)

hotel lust: la maison champs elysées

i went to paris for the first time in the summer of 2010 since then i have been dying to go back!

now with my hubby's new job where flight benefits are included, i'm hoping to visit the la ville lumière (city of lights) sometime soon!

so while i'm dreaming of returning back to the chicness  of paris why not dream about staying at the uber fabulous la maison champs elysées?!

this luxury hotel is located in the heart of paris's "golden triangle" surrounded by exquisite shopping, the grand palais, the arc de triumph and the louvre...sounds heavenly!! 

"decorated by martin margiela, the maison champs elysées successfully combines classical and avant-garde styles to create an elegant, relaxing environment. the playful decor, special atmosphere and exceptional service make this a magical place, to which you are sure to want to return." -hotel website

take a look at these photos to see why i'm lusting!

welcome to la maison champs elysées 

black..black and black!

can't get enough of those walls!

the rug and ceiling match, how perfect is that? loving the splash of orange from the birds...

gorgeous elevator lobby!

this has been one of my favorite interior images for a long time!!!

it is beyond amazing.

the walls + chair = an interior masterpiece!

the white lounge, cream-coloured traditional french panelling cover the walls

illuminated paneling

a dark moody room

the gorgeous entrance into the restaurant, loving those chandeliers and black and white color scheme.

doesn't this place look amazing?

i honestly think it's perfection and hit a home run in my book!

martin margiela is my hero!

eye inspired...house of holland

happy friiiiday!

yesterday my boss and i discovered this fashion house via twitter

after 2 seconds of looking at their fabulous website...

eye inspired

[seeing something with your eye that inspires the living daylight out of you]

so who has me inspired??

great name and logo right?

after graduating from the london college of printing with a BA in journalism, henry holland was catapulted into the fashion limelight in 2006 with his irreverent 'fashion groupies' slogan tees featuring catchphrases such as "UHU gareth pugh" and "get your freak on giles deacon" - from the website

completely inspired by their website...i think it's fabuuuulous!

clean and simple with a splash of funk.

alphabet tights

cloud pants? yes and please...plus that blouse and snake skin suspenders are pretty amazing.

this logo is awesome! go explore houseofholland.co.uk

i like your style henry holland
