This living room is part of a Sonoma, California pied-a-terre, home to textile designer, Susan Snyder who divides her time between this stunning home and an apartment in Paris. The Sonoma home is featured in the September/October 2012 issue of <a href="http://www.veranda.com/">Veranda</a>. I love the clean color palette—stark white and warm brown. The room is so striking in its simplicity. The palette really allows the architectural details in the space to take center stage. I also love the clean lines of the fireplace and the furniture. The coffee table, which would be perfect for a bibliophile like myself, is vintage as are the brown leather Marcel Breuer chairs (I have a black pair in my home), and the Marcel Breuer credenza. The space is warm, inviting, and so, so chic!</p>  <p><img alt="" height="302" src="http://www.peppermintbliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/5BloggersWeLove-e1346198813557.jpg" title="5BloggersWeLove" width="600" /></p>  <p>Houston friends, be sure to save the date! Neiman Marcus has asked me and four other Houston bloggers—Beth of <a href="http://www.treschicorganizing.blogspot.com/">Houston’s Weekly Chic</a>, Monica of <a href="http://www.classandfab.com/">Classy & Fabulous</a>, Samantha of <a href="http://www.thepeakoftreschic.com/">The Peak of Tres Chic</a>, and Bailey of <a href="http://www.peppermintbliss.com/">Peppermint Bliss</a> to share our top beauty picks at their Beauty Kick-Off Event on Tuesday, September 11th from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Join us for cocktails, demos, samples, mini-facials, a red lip station, and braid bar. The first 250 guests will receive a bag full of beauty swag!

Loving Leopard!

Hi, everyone! Today, we have a guest post from Laura Umansky, a Houston-based interior designer and shop owner with fabulous style.<a href="http://www.laurauinteriordesign.com/index.php">Laura U</a> also publishes a magazine that I was <a href="http://www.laurauinteriordesign.com/laurauDesign.php">recently featured in</a>.

Both of us are crazy for it (to the point of dreaming about it) so we immediately bought up every available yard! Needless to say, you will be seeing A LOT of fabulous vintage furniture upholstered in <strong>snow leopard</strong> fabric coming up on <a href="http://shoplaurau.com/">shoplaurau.com</a> (Hello, my new love: fireplace fender in black and white spots). Now that we have this insane amount of this snow leopard fabric, I am noticing it everywhere!

On today's edition of "Global Architecture" I was inspired by California Glamour. When I think of California, I think of large estates set on perfectly manicured lawns, stylish women dressed in stunning outfits, and views of mountains and pristine beaches. (ABOVE) Designed by Warren Callister on Belvedere Island, this stunning California home has views of the Golden Gate Bridge.  The landscaping gives the home an intimate feel. The mansard roof was a great choice as it plays up the home's elegance. (BELOW 1) Nestled behind trees, this modern home is located in Santa Barbra. It has a very 70s inspired architecture, very modern California glamour. The landscaping surrounding the home stays in line with the home's modern architecture. It's clean, simple, and well maintained. (BELOW 2) This European inspired villa is located in Holmby Hills. The front doors are absolutely stunning. The black stands out against the limestone facade. I love the tree in front of the left window. It has such an unusual form and makes a big statement as people come to the front door. (BELOW 3) The backyard of this Santa Barbra mansion is breathtaking. The many boxwoods create a nice "fence" around the pool which has sweeping views of the sea. I could see the most glamorous photoshoot taking place here. Which estate is your favorite? </span></div>  <div style="text-align: justify"><span style="line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; color: #232323; font-size: 13px" class="Apple-style-span"></span></div>  <table style="text-align: center;

The <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ccx6hp2e" target="_blank">beaded Milly dress</a> could be worn for a stroll with your loved one on the beach or to chic restaurant in Beverly Hills. The <a href="http://rstyle.me/h2dza6hp2e" target="_blank">Noir necklace</a> has both a casual vibe with the robe chain and formal vibe with the crystal pendant. It's the perfect Malibu-Beverly hills inspired piece. The <a href="http://rstyle.me/hc5p53hp2e" target="_blank">Anya clutch</a> is just the right amount of sparkle for you outfit.

The home was designed by architect Julia Morgan who had originally planned to design a small bungalow for William Hearst. After a month of discussion the decision for a small bungalow grew into a large scale castle. What are your thoughts on the Hearst Castle?
