Venti Cup's Joss & Main Curator's Collection Starts Today!

Livableglamour

Today is the day! This morning my Joss & Main Curator's Collection will go live. The theme is Livable Glamour.

To me, true luxury is surrounding yourself with a home that is as luxurious as it is inviting. The key to achieving this lifestyle? Careful selection of those things you add to your home. Taking a bit more time to inspect upholstery, invest in quality furnishings, add accessories that have significance to you. It is a curated look. Think: hand-tufted wool rugs, unexpected objets d′art, comfortable seating in plush fabrics, soothing color palettes. I love mixing textures and periods. Decorating in this way creates warmth and interest in every room of your home. It is as sophisticated as it is welcoming, and that is true luxury.

As in so many areas, I've taken a cue from our European counterparts. Livable Glamour is not a "fresh off the showroom floor" look. Each item in your home (and your closet for that matter) should be something you absolutely love. Focus on touchable textures, interesting details and quality pieces that are stylish but not trendy... all of these combine to create an air of effortlessly chic style. This is how you build a great wardrobe AND style a fabulous home.

Today's Joss & Main Curator's Collection will showcase some of my favorite pieces sourced from the incredible Joss & Main catalog. Each item has been personally selected by me and chosen for it's ability to exude effortless elegance. Choose one, choose many... but remember to passionately pursue those pieces you love! Effortless glamour comes from loving your surroundings and expressing your personal style through your choices.

Happy shopping, everyone! Après vous!

What the beautiful people are saying...

what a small world in a strange way! I noticed your curated collection on Joss & Main immediately this morning, then started trolling the blogging community, stumbled upon one of your comments that caught my eye and clicked the link. I had no idea i was going to go full circle and see the hand behind the curation! absolutely lovely to find you ~

Aww, thank you, Cara! Nice meeting you too!

Something to say, gorgeous?
