A Fictional Story of a Girl Named Fallon and her Friend Named Fenton


This is Fallon.
She designs jewelry.

She has an apartment in NY.
The space is a perfect reflection of her.
Soft and hard.
A little pretty and a little rough.
Sweet and saucy.

This is the dining room.
Fallon loves glamour but also likes a little tension in a space. 


Her living room is artistic and poetic.
Just like her.



This is her boudoir.
She likes the bedroom to be romantic but a little dark.
Not too pretty.


And this her dressing room/office- a private space where she lets her girly side free. 
Fallon thinks everyone should have a little sparkle in their lives.


Even though she loves this room as it is, she's thinking of make a few changes.
Her best friend has promised to help her with it...she's a designer.

This is her kitchen.
She entertains a lot and likes things to look a certain way but feels that perfect is really boring.


Fallon likes to be at home but is definitely up for any adventure.
She enjoys chic restaurants and shopping.
And her friends.

Today, Fallon plans on going out with her girlfriends for some late afternoon shopping...and dinner.

The group is a somewhat eccentric bunch.


The girls are taking the subway downtown.
{a gold one that is}


Their first stop is going to be Fallon's jewelry store...coincidentally called Fenton-Fallon.
Fallon loves how the store looks. 
 Her best friend Fenton designed it.

Here she is.


Fenton loves pink and is a little more girly than Fallon.
Her favourite movie is Casablanca.
She is very proud of how her friend's store looks- thanks to her.




Before meeting the rest of the girls, Fenton heads over to Fallon's apartment.
She's excited to show her the dressing room/office design board she created.
Fallon had asked her to come up with something a little more lighthearted than the rest of her space.
And she wanted Fenton to use pink as an accent colour.

Before they look over the design, the two girls grab a glass of their new favourite wine.


After a glass or two, Fenton presents her ideas.


Fallon loves the room.
A little prettier than she usually goes for, but a nice balance to her harder side.

Feeling happy and inspired, the two girls head out.
They smile knowing nothing can be better than beautiful rooms, beautiful baubles, and beautiful friends.

The end.
