You Have to Love a Hippo Bar

I am quickly becoming addicted to the APT with LSD feature over at Vogue, and was especially excited to see Lauren Santo Domingo’s own home featured. It is just as fabulous as one would expect! Here are a few of my favorite parts of her stylish abode.  The amazing hippo bar (is that not just the most fantastic thing?), the envy inducing jewelry drawer, and the scrapbook filled desk (not to mention the shoe closet behind it) all have me wishing I could move right in.  But top billing goes to her packed to bursting, haphazard book shelves.  I love the carefree vibe, and any woman with that many books is my kind of lady!

    That hippo bar is ABSOLUTELY the most fantastic thing. I love it. It would totally fit in perfectly in my tiny Somerville apartment, right? Definitely.

    I had such a love/hate with her space.
    LOVE the hippo. best thing ive ever seen. ever.

    but i was expecting a little more classic with a twist, not so boho. must be all the columbian influences.

    happy Weekend!

    Yes, I loved seeing LSD’s own loft – just as stylish as one would expect! And the hippo was my favorite part as well – fabulous!!

    That hippo bar is divine, and I love the idea of shoes in your office-constantly stylish inspiration!
