Fashion + Interiors = The Perfect Match, which is why I love this Vogue editorial featuring model Natalia Vodianova and the eclectic home of photographer Mario Testino Royale. Aptly dubbed the "Casa of Curiosities" by Vogue writers, Testino's home showcases furniture, accessories, and art from countless countries including his native Peru. Crisp, white walls provide the perfect canvas for a global mix of color and texture.

"...I enjoy the idea of all the different cultures meeting here. Japan meets Peru, Peru meets America, America meets England... Total integration of cultures."

As mentioned, a mirrored fireplace surround can be absolutely stunning. But for those of us without a fireplace (or a big budget), a mirror-backed mantel is just as nice! This example comes courtesy of WhoWhatWear's fashionable LA office. I'm not sure if the fireplace ever functioned, but it certainly looks cute now!

Have you seen the Architectural Digest spread on this Brazilian beauty? It is the Rio apartment of interior designer Alberto Pinto and I'm in love! Modern meets eclectic meets Ipanema!

"The apartment, with its vocabulary of lush colors, rugged textures, and strong silhouettes, not only symbolizes an immense country where emperors once reigned, but one where jungles have always ruled." - AD

Yes, yes, yes. It's all lovely - the drapery, the leather-upholstered window seat, the silver sofa and ikat bergères. This living room by designer Iain Halliday is gorgeous. But the one thing that simply can not be ignored is the floor! This area rug by Beauvais Carpets sports a pattern of such magnificence - overscaled and eye-catching. It's the perfect example of how amping up the size modernizes most anything.

The genius of this living room by Ernest De La Torre lies in its singular, chartreuse sofa. May not sound very revolutionary but that’s where my eye goes every time - to the sofa, the artwork, and back again. It’s the proverbial pop of color in a fully upholstered piece.

So, why a “party pad”? Because three sofas facing a baby grand sounds like a party to me! (At least my kind of party)

Behold this glamour-ladened living room by Fox-Nahem Design. Still deciding whether I’m more smitten by the tall ceilings, Italian chandelier, or beautiful blue tones (or is that gray?). The tufted chairs by William Haines are also on my radar. How posh.
