Made By Girl Contributor Post: Abstract Art

I'm over at MADE BY GIRL today. 
The post is about one of my favorite subjects:



See you there!

Men's Leather Driving Gloves

I hope you all had a fabulous Valentine's day!
I was soooo excited to give my husband his gift as I ordered
LEATHER DRIVING GLOVES
from Italy but sadly, they're stuck somewhere in Kentucky. 


I still tried to keep his gift a secret but as soon as Valentine's morning came, I had the urge to shout 
"I GOT YOU THE DRIVING GLOVES, LIKE RYAN GOSLING IN DRIVE!"
Maybe I'm more excited for him to have these gloves than he is to receive them?

My husband may have a bromance crush on Ryan.  
He's been styling his hair like Ryan, wearing slim suits like Ryan, 
and has been pining for gloves like Ryan. 
I'm more than ok with this. Ryan's hot.

Here are some more leather driving glove inspiration shots:




Love the man bag in this last image.  Who knows, maybe one day my husband will receive this:

Shh... that's just between me and you.

Pink Valentine's Day

Wishing everyone a
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!




I hope everyone has a day filled with 
love, appreciation, and beauty!

Brooke Jones Designs Sneak Peak: Kid's Playroom

Hello my lovelies!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and 
I wanted to pop in to give you a quick
SNEAK PEAK 
on another project I'm working on. This time it's for a fun 
KID'S PLAYROOM.


We are on a definite time crunch on this one.  
Keep your fingers crossed we can finish in time!

Hotel Monaco, Salt Lake City

My husband is whisking me away for a Valentine's weekend.
We'll be staying at
HOTEL MONACO IN SALT LAKE CITY,
and I am SOOOO excited.
 
My husband told me he choose this hotel because he knew I'd appreciate the headboard design.
He was right.
This girl adores some good HOLLYWOOD REGENCY style.
Call me crazy but I LOVE staying in hotels, even if they are only 40 minutes away from home. 
 Who would complain about staying in a GORGEOUSLY CHIC SPACE like this?

What are your plans for Valentine's?

Brooke Jones Designs Projects

Hello lovelies!  I just wanted to pop in and let you know my posts may be 
a bit sporadic over the next week or two. 
 I am wrapping up a project I've been working on for about a year now, 
along with taking on two new projects for returning clients. 
WHEW!! It's going to get busy!

I don't want to leave you hanging, so here's a quick sneak peak of one of
BROOKE JONES DESIGNS PROJECTS.


Seriously, it's going to be lovely.

I can't wait to show you the final results!

Louis Vuitton/Marc Jacobs Book Lust

I'm desperately awaiting the upcoming release of
LOUIS VUITTON/MARC JACOBS: 
IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE MUSEE DES ARTS DECORATIFS, PARIS.


Holy banana pancakes, Batman!!!

Not only is the cover phenomenal, but the book covers the work of both 
Louis V and Marc Jacobs, though their work is separated by about 100 years.

Is it March 6th yet?  'Cause... this needs to be on my coffee table NOW.
