The House of Talia




I love the fact that places have a specific look - this is the quintessential look of London. Not the London of Brooke De Ocampo - this is the clubbing, creative London than has grown up.
La Talia is a stylist, makeup artist, friend, sounding board, and at times cohort. Her flat also has that London look - Robin Day sofa, Vivienne Westwood cushion, pieces by Oriel Harwood, and a myriad of objet trouve. My hand is evident, as I took her to all of my favourite sources, but the choices were entirely hers. Not perfect - yet, but it will be - after all that is my bag of tricks on the coffee table.

I love your "London Look". Great tag-line by the way. And I also love to see a woman who still enjoys a cigarette!!

Love it! Love the purse too, it's so big, I love that! Is that you smoking? Love that too.

I love the house of Talia . The mix between " french empire" table and the 2 Starck chairs are great . This is the basis of my decoration mixing what we loved and what we love and what we will love.

Thanks Patricia - needs cleaning up, but I think La Talia is on the right track.

Hello Melanie - Glad you like it.

Hello Cd'T - Honey that aint no purse - that's a man bag - and as lovely as my friend is, to quote Harvey Firestien in Torch Song Trilogy, " if anyone asks I'm the pretty one" Ha!

I love this place! And if you helped, I love your style! BUT I hope that is not really a bag of "ticks" on the table. Quelle Horror! ;)

It truly is a the quintessential London flat look and feel. I can almost hear a distinct accent when I see the furnishings...
