Hi everyone! Just wanted to stop by before signing off until Monday, to introduce you to an amazing stylist, Lili Diallo, whose portfolio is just a delight for me (hopefully for you too!). She’s a New York-based stylist with a great eye for beautiful spaces, colors and styling. And with her stunning work I leave you for the weekend, wishing you a fabulous time, hoping you can enjoy some pre-fall sun (and soak it at your best!). This weekend marks the 1st wedding anniversary for me and the husband and I cannot believe the time flew by so fast! Feels like it happened yesterday! Anyway, have a joyful weekend and I’ll see you on Monday!

Elinno Design
Have I mentioned how much I love social media that introduced me to so many bloggers, brands and wonderful artists? Well, Elinno Design was no exception! Dagny suggested to me their Facebook page and the next instant I saw the pictures I fell in love with their products! Elinno Design is a Finnish company creating beautiful chinoiserie for a modern living. I was smitten by the lovely colors and adorable patterns they’re putting into their creations and I couldn’t help but share my excitement with you! Here are some stunning plates, cups and sets, so make sure you check their Facebook page and site for more loveliness!
Vintage inspired industrial stools
Lately I’ve been drawn to stools and specifically to industrial stools in a modern kitchen with a vintage twist. I’m loving the contrast between wood kitchen island+cabinets & metal stools, that’s a real statement for a space, don’t you think? And the best part about these stools is that they can be easily found at flea markets and would look stunning without any renovation/restoration. And yes, these stools can also be in different colors, but to be straight I like more their look as if they’d been used for long time, the aged feeling makes them even more charming! Oh and another thing – don’t they look amazing in a rustic inspired kitchen, with all that wood and shabby atmosphere? I think they do! Here are some examples of stools I’d absolutely love to bring into my kitchen!
Penelope’s room
Hello everyone! I had through my bookmarks a lovely blog post which I’m gonna share with you right now! It’s about the adorable room of Penelope, the sweet girl of Melissa – blogger behind ISLY (I Still Love You). The room is so full of sunshine, with all the popping yellow in there. It literally makes me happy just looking at it and I thought that Penelope’s room is definitely worth your attention! For the detailed description of the decorating process, check Melissa’s post about it, I’ll just share some pictures with you, hoping to bring little sunshine into your day!
Everyday fabulous {September 7th, 2010}
Hi again! I know, Everyday fabulous category was sort of abandoned for awhile, but please, don’t get mad! I’m here now to share with you another stunning, fantastic picture and well, let’s discuss it a bit!
*Anthropologie
This screams fall to me! The patterns and color palette are definitely inspired by fall and I’m smitten by the variety of the mentioned patterns! However, this image has some boho touches, ethnic feeling and an eclectic air dominating in there, right? How lovely are those over-sized scissors on the wall? Such a great idea for decorating!
So as I said, let’s discuss the picture! Now it’s your turn to tell me what do you think about it!
Our magical wedding
Hi everyone! As promised before, here are our wedding pictures! I’m in love with them, can’t stop staring at them (my husband can’t really understand why and only I know that these are one of the most precious images in somebody’s life!) and I do hope you’ll like them too! The amazing photographer who took the pictures is Sandra Dragojlovic (you may recall her from this post) and if you’re in the area – I absolutely recommend hiring her – she’s awesome! No more words, here they are!
P.S. Was SO hard to decide what pictures to choose for this post! From 400+ that we have it’s a real challenge to highlight 10 :) (I posted on Facebook many more).
Serbian Made: Greeting cards by Alena Goran
Good Monday morning all! I hope you enjoyed your weekend (and you still enjoy it, my readers who celebrate Labor day!) and today I’m bringing to you the lovely work of a very creative lady, Alena Goran! Alena is making the cutest greeting cards I’ve ever seen – everything is handmade with love! She was kind enough to prepare a story for me and you, so here’s what she says:
“In particular I appreciate art, nature, photography and beautiful handmade things. For some time I had a desire to start to create decorative greeting cards, probably because of my need to give others something beautiful as a gesture from the heart. These are decorative cards that can later be used as decoration. We choose a card according to its appearance that carries a particular message which is something that is sincere and from the soul. Nowadays it is much less common and rare. I hope that with these cards I will inspire others to go back to times when messages were hand written and carried a personal touch. More romantic and sweeter (even perfumed :-)) than today’s e-mailing.
Sneak peek of Belgrade apartments
Happy Friday everyone! Hope your week went smoothly and that you’re ready for a R&R time (congratulations to my readers from Canada and USA for having an extra day off!). This week Elle Dekor Serbia (man, how I adore this magazine!) gave us a roundup of Belgrade apartments featured in the magazine at some point. A small confession: I put my hands on Elle Dekor not so long time ago, so that being said – I missed some issues from before. That is the reason I was very thrilled to see the mentioned pictures; seeing that there are talented and stylish people here wasn’t a surprise, but seeing the proof of the fact was something exciting! So I’d like to share with you now some pictures, so you can have an idea of how are apartments in Belgrade decorated (of course interiors vary due to owners’ styles and preferences, but still):
Jeff Andrews Design
You guys won’t believe what I just spotted! A REAL TREASURE! Seriously, the portfolio of interior designer Jeff Andrews is perfection and all the rooms he worked his magic on are to die for, if I say so myself! His fine aesthetic and modern concepts are creating spaces far above my ideas of a livable ambiance! When I grow up, I want to be like Jeff Andrews, but alas, talented artists like him isn’t something we see everyday. I’d just love to have him decorating my home, his famous name is trust-worthy and that has been proven by the numerous publications his work appeared in.
Note to self: Jeff Andrews designed Khloe Kardashian’s office, so he’s REALLY out of your price range! Who cares, a girl can dream, right? :)
Pattern love: Otomi
In continuation of the pattern adventure I’ve been living on creamylife, I bring you another design, all the way from Mexico, which is called Otomi pattern and it’s handmade by the Otomi Indians from Mexico. We all love it, but I know a few people who didn’t know the name of the pattern (including myself), so today I thought I can introduce Otomi pattern to everybody and say my two cents about it. Oh well, what other can I say except that it is a gorgeous embroidery, it’s handmade and will bring a slice of that Mexican charm into your home. These days Otomi is not only a fabric pattern, it’s also a gorgeous wallpaper which will dress up our space. Here are some examples of Otomi pattern:
