Fall is one of the most exciting times of year: the kids head back to school, the leaves start to change, and we finally get some reprieve from the summer’s heatwave. Make sure you include these 10 family activities on your fall bucket list. From ghostly graveyard tours to cozy nights in front of a bonfire, get ready to embrace the spirit of autumn alongside your loved ones. I look forward to doing at least a couple of these more than fun fall activities for family.

Travel is something that can truly make us richer. We create memories that last forever, so it’s important for us to make the most of every trip we take. If you’re someone that travels for business, you may feel as if this is something you don’t always get to do. Although it can really add to your lifestyle and allow you to live the life you want, maybe you feel as if you never really make the most of your time? Just like going to the gym, creating the perfect interiors, and choosing what you wear, why not choose how you travel too? If you own your business, this should be simple. But if you’re a high-level executive, you may need to work with your company to make this happen. Either way, here’s what you can do to enjoy a finer experience on your next business trip.
When I included a beautiful master bedroom with a canopy bed in my post yesterday, I knew I was going to post the rest of the house today. The London townhouse belongs to Nina Flohr and was designed by Veere Greeney. The home is an excellent interpretation of transitional design, contemporary but clearly rooted in classic Interior Design. I love that this home feels as if it was enveloped in coziness with just the right amount of glam or what I like to call a livable glamour. A touch of lamour is there enough to add some twinkle but it wont overwhelm you and you wont get tired of it. The townhouse once belonged to Nina’s father, Thomas Flohr the founder of VistaJet, an aviation company. Most recently Nina Flohr founded the non-profit Kisawa Sanctuary in Mozambique where she will soon also develop a hotel. The townhouse is featured in this month’s AD where you can read more about it.

Interior design trends change like the seasons, and every year there is a shift in what is popular. Popular lately is the use of traditional Interior Design elements, like mahogany furniture, Chinoiserie wallpaper, and colored kitchen cabinets. With that being said, let’s take a closer look at some of these traditional elements, and why they continue to be popular.
It’s Sweater Roundup time, and it’s time to start thinking about what sweaters to add to our winter clothes repertoire. In this roundup of sweaters, we are suggesting various styles from oversized chunky ones to classic turtlenecks to striped pullovers because we should all have options when it comes to dressing, right? Sweaters are to me in cold weather what dresses are to me in Summer; they facilitate getting dress better than any other piece in our wardrobes. Nothing makes my morning routine easier when getting ready to take my son to school, than putting on a sweater over skinny jeans. It’s a no-brainer, stylish and comfortable. I pair the outfit with an ankle boot for Fall and voila! BTW, a couple of these sweaters from last year are on sale now.
I get super excited this time of year when the most anticipated Interior Design books are released. As much as I enjoy Instagram and Pinterest, both good sources of inspiration and entertainment, nothing can compare to the full experience of holding, touching and reading a book. Actually, the cold season is indeed the perfect time to enjoy a good book while cuddling up by the fire. These inspirational volumes, published by Vendome and Rizzoli, are full of major ideas, and above all exclusivity, since most of the images you’ll find in these books have not been seen before. Here are my 6 Interior Design books to read In 2018 that every design aficionado should add to her/his library.
