Good Monday morning! Yesterday on Twitter I realized that it’s almost end of September and I still didn’t put together my monthly fashion board! Also, today is Monday, so traditionally we should have on creamylife a Serbian Made post! Plus I have some news to share with you! Today’s post is 3 in 1 and I think this is a pretty good deal! So, my exciting news: last week perhaps you already heard that I’m a columnist on the newly launched fashion and lifestyle online Serbian magazine Wannabe Magazine, writing about my love for interior design and beautiful spaces. You can read my posts there twice a month. Some days ago, they had a post about Belgrade street style, so now instead of creating a style board, I’ll post pictures of how people here get dressed on a September day as seen in the downtown. And this will do the trick for my Serbian made category, right?
Sweet Paul {fall issue} & happy weekend
Before signing off until Monday, I needed to talk to you little more! Do you have any plans for the weekend? Wherever you are, I do believe you’ll have a wonderful time, enjoying the crisp fall weather! And to inspire you a bit to do so, here’s the fall issue of Sweet Paul, which is ridiculously pretty, delicious, with lots of fall recipes, stunning photography and plenty of inspiration for you to indulge your little creative minds! Have a delicious weekend! xoxo
Oriental rugs
Happy Friday all! So happy this week’s almost done. How was your week? Mine was pretty exciting and busy and the weekend looks like will be the same. But that’s a good thing :). A Friday post for you about oriental rugs, as lately I’ve been drawn to them a lot, because they’re just fabulous! Everything about them is perfection: the patterns, the texture and the popping warm colors are somethings every home would appreciate a lot! And the catchiest part about oriental rugs is that they look killer in a modern space, creating an edgy contrast which will only increase your home’s stylish coziness! And although my home country’s culture involved pretty much decorating with oriental rugs (which means I lived all my life having a fabulous ethnic rug in my room), I now look at them in a different way, loving more its look and effect. Here are a few examples of oriental rugs in modern spaces.
Miha Matei Photography
I’m more and more in love with Romanian artists and creative minds. First I must mention Freshome, a fabulous site about interior design (last week I found out that the founder of the site lives not so far away from me – exciting!), today I read about Mario Badescu, who is also from Romania, known worldwide for his line of skin care products and now Miha Matei, a talented photographer born in Romania, now living in New York and Los Angeles with her husband and son. In Miha’s portfolio I found pictures which were in my inspiration files since forever, yet I never knew that they were taken by her, like the below picture which can be seen in the post about Ashe+Leandro Interiors. Miha’s photography is stunning and her portfolio is one of those which you want to fully take from her site and just put it on your blog, it’s that good!
Designer Nika Zupanc
Hello, people! How are you doing? Can you believe it’s already Wednesday? Or that’s September 22nd? Quite unbelievable, right? I want to introduce you today to a designer I spotted in the latest issue of Elle Dekor Serbia – Nika Zupanc! Nika is from Ljubljana, Slovenia creating fabulous furniture, flirty, maybe even a bit girlie, but definitely chic! I couldn’t stop staring at the pretty bows, curvy shapes and cute colors she uses when creating her products and I thought her portfolio is a must, that’s why I’m here on a mission – to share all that beauty with you! If you want to read more about Nika (and she has a pretty impressive biography) check here. Oh and her press page is also worth a look, so check that one too :). By the way some of her products are a part of MOOOI collection (Nika and MOOOI are collaborating since 2008).
Decorating with birdcages
Don’t know if you have noticed it, but these days birdcages are everywhere in interior design industry. From wallpapers to lighting fixtures to cushions they are very popular details to accessorize with! And I’m really drooling over a shabby birdcage, so I can put in a candle, a pretty little faux birdie to cheer my days up :). Sounds blissful and oh so chic, right? Here are a few examples I gathered from around the web and I’d really like to know what do you think about decorating with birdcages!
Chandelier heaven
Happy Monday, lovelies! How was your weekend? I hope you had a smashing one and let me just say that mine was busy and that this new week promises to be pretty exciting, which I’m wishing to you as well. And this new blogging week is starting with a tribute to chandeliers of all kind! See, the thing is that when you decide to have a chandelier in your home, it needs to be glamorous, astonishing and the image of perfection! Don’t be afraid to give your room a sparkly effect, don’t avoid making a chandelier a focal point as once you do it, your space will tend to shine and smitten everyone around. People might envy you for being daring and luxurious, but who cares, you’re living the life your style!
Happy weekend!
Hi, my lovelies! Happy weekend to you! Although we were promised to have high temperatures here today, it’s quite cloudy and chilly! So to brighten up this day, here are some gorgeous, colorful flowers for you!
Have a fabulous weekend, friends! xoxo
Elle Dekor fall issue
Happy Friday all! Elle Dekor Serbia, fall issue, is finally on newsstands (they kept us excited for way too long time!), but it’s now available for all and oh the expectation was so worth it! We got to see a blissful cover, designed in the colors of fall, bringing peaceful feelings to it. The inside part didn’t disappoint either! We saw stunning folklore-inspired pictures, with patterned layers and cozy colors! Seems like rich hues are what rock interior design scenes this season. We were introduced to its majesty, wood, which also seems like settled down for a while, emanating warmth and natural beauty all over! We were invited to the home of painter Bojana Ban, architect Slavica Trajkovic, Lea Aviani and more. Oh and by the way my friend Marija‘s Jimi chair is also in Elle Dekor! How cool is that? Congratulations to her! Here are some pictures, so you can see what I’m talking about!
