Desk Details

Now that I have my basic office furniture, I've been scouring my favorite online shops for some items to style my desk area with.

I have a yellow, white, and grey geometric-print curtain on the window next to my desk, so keeping that in mind I selected a few dream pieces that I think would compliment the space well.

PS- This is my first stab at creating a digital collage, so please cut me some slack! Also, any tips or tricks would be much appreciated :)

1. "Step Back Into the Fun" print by Mina Georgescu

3. Jonathan Adler Carnaby Flame Tray

4. Hand Sculpted Ling the Elephant and Monkey tape dispenser from Iomoi

5. Set of 14 pens also from Iomoi

Louis Ghost Armchair

I have had my eye on one of these bad boys for quite some time now. I feel like I see them everywhere, but I've just never had a reason to buy one! In my new apartment, I have an "office" area (basically just a desk), but finally have the perfect excuse to purchase this chair! This weekend I finally sucked it up and invested (that's what I like to call it) in this amazing piece of furniture.

The Louis Ghost Chair was designed by Philippe Starck, and based off of the classic design of the Louis XV armchair. In 2002, Starck reinvented the original piece to create the perfect postmodern combination of technical innovation and historical style.

I've paired my Ghost Chair with a white Parsons desk, similar to the one above, only I got mine for a steal at Walmart!

Emily Schuman of Cupcakes and Cashmere has a similar setup in her home office

Living Like a Supermodel

I absolutely LOVE seeing the spaces other people (particularly famous ones) live in, and I'm particularly loving the series Lauren Santo Domingo is doing for Vogue, "APT with LSD." In this series, she gives us glimpses into the homes of famous models, so far including Coco Rocha, Amanda Brooks, and most recently, Jessica Stam.

Below are some of the pics of Jessica's Manhattan pad. I'm especially obsessed with the hand-carved Moroccan sliding doors; I mean, could you ask for anything more unique and unexpected in an NYC apartment? Reminds me of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain... Stunning.
