Happy Tuesday, sweets! I apologize for being absent yesterday, things were crazy busy and it looked like the day flew by without me noticing it! Today, since outside is so cloudy and gray, I prepared a perfect post and I mean a post to cheer you up! We all love stripes (proven many times!) and yellow, so here’s an idea of how to cheer up your kitchen or any other room using the two details: with a striped rug and some pretty daffodils you’re sure to transform a room into a sunny place!
Hi all! It’s Friday evening here and I’m officially signing off for the weekend! BUT – not before telling you a huge ‘thank you’ for visiting my blog this week, for the comments and support, you know how much I appreciate it! You’re the best! What are your plans for this weekend? Whatever you do, enjoy and get plenty of R&R time!
Will meet you back here on Monday! xo
TGIF! We made it, let’s get some applause, shall we? For a Friday post I chose a topic that I believe we’ll see a lot this year and this is brass. I’ve heard many predictions for brass and they all conclude that 2011 will be full of it. The reason I can think of is its timelessness and its always stunning look in a room. Brass items that have on them time’s stamp (also known as vintage) never looked better than when seen in a modern home, with eclectic touches. Its subtle glitz always brings a feeling of glamour to a space, so I believe brass would work perfectly in ANY home, no matter the style. Of course, it’s all about your personality, that’s why I ask you – do you love or hate brass?
This post will make you happy, guaranteed. I was looking and looking around for the past few weeks and I finally realized that this Spring bold, bright hues will be on the top of everything. Whether we speak about fashion or interior design, expect to see rich orange and delicious teal in every aspect. And I couldn’t be happier, you know? I’m already dreaming about the dresses I’m about to acquire, lipsticks I’m going to apply and bright, joyful moments I’m going to live while surrounded by pretty colors. Sigh, I think I’m too carried away by this bliss.
Would be an understatement if I say that I adore the 4th issue of Rue magazine, it’s brilliant! Go check it yourself if you don’t believe me. While perusing the latest issue yesterday, among billions of posts and images I loved, there was an editorial that I just couldn’t stop looking at – it’s the one from the desert. Let me say that I wowed when I saw the cover (picture from this editorial), it was a piece I’ve never seen in any other online magazine nor printed one and as I heard in twitter land there are many tweeps saying it was a risk to have a cover like that – a ‘risk worth taking’, that is.
Well ladies, I have a post just for you! Tell me one thing, how does your dream shoe closet/dressing room look like? Pink walls? Crystal chandelier? Velvet settee? Stripes? Heavy, satin ceiling to floor curtains? Leopard print? I know mine has all this and I can’t get enough of dreaming about it. I mean, could there be anything more beautiful, more glamorous and sophisticated than a royal-like (exactly how we all deserve it) shoe closet+dressing room? Of course let’s not forget that our dream shoe closet must have a ridiculously big number of pretty heels and a ton of clothes, a girl can never have too many of these, right?
Are we all ready for Spring yet? Good, now time to convince this cold, rainy weather about this. I’m so over it already and the only thing I covet right now is some outdoor time, with sunshine kissing my cheeks, warm breeze touching my bare shoulders…I know, sounds blissful. So while we’re at it, we should do it with glamour and style, right? Here are some ideas of how to transform your patio (or even a place in woods) into a romantic, sweet escape.
Happy weekend, my loves! It has been a tough week for all of us as we suffered along all the people in Japan who fight for their survival these days. And even though it’s painful we must move on and focus on all the good things that are ahead of us. I thought this post might be helpful as my experience shows that we all love to indulge ourselves in dreaming about pretty places and inspiring interiors. I speak today about country chicness, mixed styles (where wood meets crystal chandeliers) and I truly believe this post will be after your own heart.
Hello all! I wanted to take the time to say something about the devastating disaster happening in Japan now. Watching news about it is painful, thinking about all the people who have suffered and still suffer after the consequences of the earthquake and tsunami is heart-breaking. That’s why I joined the group of bloggers who in honor of Japan will have a day of silence tomorrow, March 18th. The initiative to organise this came from Lydia from Ever-Ours and the creative minds behind Utterly engaged and I can only thank them, with all my heart! If you have a blog you may join us (here are details) and if you’d like to donate, click here.
Herringbone floors have been in my life ever since I remember myself. My parents’ place has them in every room, so perhaps when looking at them my little heart skips a beat, perhaps I feel a nostalgic about my childhood years and the time I was living with them. Oh, memories… And another thing I’m reminded of when seeing chevron flooring is Paris and the French flair I’m a big sucker for. You feel the same, right? I know you do, so here is a collection of herringbone floors for us to indulge in.
