Guest Picks: Treat Yourself
I'm not sure that I could actually use these soap petals because they're so beautiful. But I can imagine them scattered around an all-white bathroom.
I currently have an informal set of wineglasses that I adore, but I'm in the market for something slightly more elegant for special occasions. I love the delicate shape of these champagne glasses, as well as the wineglasses that match.
In order to feel like a member of the elite, you must act like one. And that begins with taking teatime seriously. While I enjoy a big comforting mug of tea like the next girl, I can't fight the urge to raise my pinky finger and sip from a delicate cup like this one.
Fresh flowers are essential for super luxe homes. These metallic statement vases are the perfect way to display them.
I've never thought much of wallpaper, but this sumptuous print could completely transform a small space.
Breakfast in bed? Yes, please! These trays provide a sturdy way to transport morning feasts of mimosas, coffee, fresh berries and croissants.
A splurge, yes, but this statement lamp would be a perfectly elegant counter to more modern furniture.
When I think of a luxurious material, my mind immediately goes to velvet. While red velvet is traditional, I love this more contemporary silver shade.
For holidays, do not skimp on the decor! Beaded egg votives for an Easter brunch are utterly indulgent.
I inherited an ornate mirrored jewelry tray from my grandmother and it makes me feel like a princess every time I see it.
Rough hands are definitely not luxurious. Keep a few bars of good gentle soap on hand to keep your paws soft. Soap bars also bring a clean, fresh scent to whatever room they sit in. My mother has been known to keep a fresh bar of soap in her lingerie drawer.
Keep some intricate platters on hand for serving guests.
Luxury is synonymous with indulgence, and I can't think of a better way to indulge than with a perfect cake housed in this clear cake stand.
When you're as magnificent as you are, you'll need plenty of mirrors around — to double-check your lipstick of course. Elaborate mirrors are a perfect indulgence.
Primping and preening is essential, and a glorious mirrored vanity is the best way to do it.
While a lot of brands look good on display, keep things sleek and sophisticated by transferring all your toiletries into bottles from a set like this one.
True elegance is found in the details. Napkin rings may seem slightly archaic, but a little bit of tradition can go a long way on special occasions.
Every princess needs the perfect chaise on which to lounge. Keep this piece in the bedroom or your extra-large walk-in closet.
Though massive, opulent chandeliers are characteristic of luxurious spaces. I find that a smaller piece in a smaller space (like a bathroom) is even more transformative.Next: Mood Makers: Luxurious Looks on a Budget
