Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's NYC Apartment

Over the last few days I've found myself more intrigued and interested in house magazines, blogs featuring interiors and buying homewares than ever. I must be growing up! I've always been interested in decorating and interiors, but still loved clothes so much more. I think it won't be long before I love them both equally. So expect to see more decorating & interior inspiration on hôtel de mode. I'm particularly interested in getting inspiration from the homes of fashion designers and other influential people in the world of fashion. Who better to start with than Julia Restoin-Roitfled in her NYC home?  I love the simplicity of the wooden floor, white walls and modern furniture. The little quirky details give the space character. Her place incredibly personalised despite it's minimalism. The stacks of magazines & fashion coffee table books remind me of my space.

Oh I just love her bag - I'm a massive fan of drawstring bags!

 Another one of my recent obsessions - Orchids

Julia is so naturally stunning

Although I would never wear these shoes on a normal night out (I don't think I would get further than a metre), they would be fabulous for a dress-up party. I think they are absolutely amazing despite them being incredible impractical. Who said fashion need to always be wearable anyway? I'd love to have them sitting on a shelf in my bedroom simply to be admired :)

Killer Shoes

True North Style

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld

My fashionista muse of the moment is the Julia Restoin-Roitfeld.  A fashion royal, the daughter of Carine Roitfeld Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Paris, she has a killer wardrobe consisting of Balmain dresses and towering YSL shoes.  She isn't your perfect size 6, super-glam socialite but rather there is something very natural and classic about her look which gives her that girl-next-door appeal. I adore her natural-looking brown hair, fair skin and curvaceous figure.
