As part of our Best of 2008 polls, you
named Kelly Wearstler your favorite female interior designer this year. From her
new rug designs for the Rug Company, to her
post as a Top Design judge, to her
new resort development in the British West Indies, Kelly's been a pretty busy gal this year and it's certainly paid off in your minds. I'm always eager to see what else KW's got in store for us, whether it be her
kooky sartorial fashions or her residential, hotel and
retail interiors.

Just in case you're not interested in going as
Jonathan Adler or
Simon Doonan this Halloween, I'm also providing you with a more feminine option: Kelly Wearstler.
If you're a
Top Design fan, as I am, you probably watch the show in part to check out Kelly Wearstler's kooky sartorial style. I adore her mix of high fashion with vintage finds and her daringly odd clothing combinations.

After 13 years as a fashion designer, Trina Turk is making her foray into the world of interiors,
according to WWD. Armed with new investment capital, she has taken her "vivid signature prints from her classic sportswear to plush pillows, sleek Lucite chairs and other home furnishings." In Spring 2009, Turk will also collaborate with F.

Browsing through
Kelly Wearstler's portfolio, I came across this image of a living room in a Santa Monica residence that she designed. While the traditional/Hollywood Regency style of the space is certainly elegant that's not the reason the photo caught my eye. The grayish-blue,
lattice-patterned rug was glaring back at me; it looked oddly familiar.
