In case you didn’t know, I worship Diane von Furstenberg. She is beautiful, fearless, strong and her sense of style is impeccable. She also has the most fascinating life story and I love everything that she stands for  which centers around her goal to inspire confidence in women. Here are a few photos of DVF’s Paris apartment which were published last year in InStyle. When she found the place it had no floors, no doors, no plumbing and its only inhabitants were pigeons but despite these drawbacks, DVF saw potential and fell in love with its incredible veiws. Located on what DVF says is “the most charming street in Saint-Germain” the apartment boasts views of the Eiffel Tower from one window and the Seine from another. With the help of legendary French decorator Francois Catroux, DVF transformed the derelicht space into her dream apartment in the City of Light. The space has an open floorplan with one room flowing into the next, and plenty of seating as DVF wanted to be able to plop down anywhere in the apartment and work or relax. DVF says she wanted her place in Paris to feel as if it were the best suite in the most luxurious Parisian hotel and thinks of this home as her private little  hideaway. It is filled with rich colors, patterns, textures and that exude DVF’s signature style and an air of romanticism that evokes the spirit of Paris. Enjoy the photos!

Looks like style star Taylor Tomasi-Hill has moved into a fabulous new apartment! (See our previous feature on her old home here.) The former fashion editor-turned artistic director for Moda Operandi recently gave Vogue.com a peek inside her new apartment which is a bright, loft-like space with an industrial-chic vibe and eccentric touches that mirror her quirky fashion choices. I’m especially loving the Rorschach inkblot-inspired wallpaper from Eskayel shown in the photo above.  See more of Taylor’s style at home below and you can see the full photo slideshow here on Vogue.com!

In this installment of Style Stalking we examine the profoundly beautiful home of LA tastemaker, costume designer, stylist and fashion editor Jacqui Getty. Her home is currently featured in the September issue of C Magazine and I am completely OBSESSED! Nestled high atop the Hollywood Hills, Getty’s Spanish style home is full of deeply personal touches like family photos, gifts from loved ones and a MAJOR art collection that I’m willing to bet is worth more than the house itself! (We’re talking Jackson Pollacks and Basquiats here!) The house also has quite a storied history…it was a gift from famed director Francis Ford Coppola, who happens to be her daughter Gia’s grandfather, and has hosted more A-list celebrities than the Oscars red carpet – all who have been guests the many fabulous cocktail parties that Getty is famous for throwing. Seriously, this house is insane and I really love its laidback bohemian vibe and the colorful, eclectic touches throughout. Take a look at the photos below, click here to read the full article and be prepared for a major case of style envy!
