To your heart’s desire

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

When decorating your master bedroom, your bed shouldn’t be strictly utilitarian. It should be the focal point of the entire room! Where to begin when choosing your bedding? With the headboard, of course.  Here at LIV we give you the choice of designing your own headboard. From the fabric to the shape, you can get whatever your heart desires. Here below is an example of what we have in stock, but keep in mind, this is just a small sample of what’s possible!


This headboard is upholstered in our Essential Pique White. 100% Egyptian cotton woven in Italy.


This crisp, white waffle fabric is also an Au Lit collection. The cotton is 100% Egyptian, woven in Portugal.
The wide variety of textures and prints we offer also allows you to coordinate your headboard with your bed linens.


This headboard is upholstered in Bella Notte’s flax Peony collection. Bella Notte offers a wide range of textured fabrics in dozens of colors.

Following up on previous posts about fall fashion trends….it’s out there in the real world.


Aviator style has arrived for fall.


Leighton Meester looking fabulous as ever in skinny cargos.


There are countless military style jackets I could have shown you, but I fell in love with this jacket. Don’t be afraid of taking chances, this is military style with a twist!

Fall is in the air

Sunday, September 5th, 2010

I woke up this morning and felt it in the air, fall is here. Although we might have some warm and sunny days ahead of us, we can expect that the cool weather is here to stay. Being from Iceland I actually enjoy these cooler temperatures and it gives me a chance to wear some of my favorite shoes, jackets and sweaters that I got way back when in Iceland. Although I have some great pieces, I’m always on the lookout for new ones. While I was perusing the internet for the latest and greatest trends I felt very lucky that I did not have to invest in a trip to Paris to give my wardrobe a fall makeover, I’ll just do my shopping at LIV.

Look out for the military style jackets and sweaters. We love the trendy camel colour. Layering scarfs and basic tees with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans (to go with that perfect winter boot) is definitely the look of the season. Find all these trends and more at LIV.
