an obvious starting point

Wish me luck, here goes blog one...

For starters, why not pay homage to the living legend woman who embodies all my favorite things; the one and only Kelly Wearstler!

Talented designer and gorgeous mommy. I mean, the lady has got it together. 

If you have yet to familiarize yourself with the work of interior designer extraordinaire you have either been living under a rock or Half Past Five blog certainly is not for you [feel free to unsubscribe now].

Beyond being a trendsetter and tastemaker, Wearstler has launched collaborations with companies the likes of Sferra, Lee Jofa, Schumacher and most recently her own fashion and home accessories lines. In my opinion, Wearstler's eye for print combination is one that few can rival. AND true story, many of the prints Wearstler uses in her designs are of her own fabrication. So enough designer crushing, onto some recent KWID favorites.

Love the print on her spring 2012 paloma mesh top paired with b+w oxford pumps. I find that a lot of her designs are high-glamour with a sense of masculinity. Could muse over her all day... why, hello Wearstler wallpaper!

Possibly I should do a Wearstler Wednesday post each week? Then again, there are too many amazing designers out there. I wonder, What Would Wearstler Do? – JLT
