Good Monday morning! Hoping that you all had a fabulous weekend, will kick off this week with a color+inspiration post and just so you know for the past few days I was inspired to no end by a very bright and lively shade of blue: Tiffany blue, the color of the famous Tiffany & Co. Probably I don’t need to explain much why do I love both the color and the company, I just do and am pretty sure I’m not alone. Here’s some Tiffany blue inspiration:

Industrial chicness {and happy weekend}
And we’ve made it. It’s Friday evening here where I am and I’m more than ready to call it a day (and week). How was your week? Were you snowed in? I was tweeting yesterday that as crazy as it may sound, I wish we were snowed in so I get to stay at home, under warm blankets, with tea, laptop and just be inspired by these cozy feelings. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be this way, so I hope at least you got to cuddle by the fire this week.
For those who didn’t know yet, House Doctor (that I adore, see proof here) launched their 2011 catalogue and it’s as delicious as only they can do it. I spotted some pictures which had an industrial chic vibe and well, I knew I must share it.
Emily Henderson – the design star
It’s Friday, people! This means that a happy dance is in order right now! TGIF! For a pretty day I have the portfolio of a star for all. And I’m totally serious when saying star, she’s a design star and she’s the winner of HGTV‘s show. Ladies and gents, it’s Emily Henderson I’m speaking about! I loved her aesthetics ever since I first saw one of her designs and now I’m finally sharing with all my love for Emily Henderson! I’m sure there’s no much need to explain why do I adore Emily or how did it happen – it just did and watch out, it will happen to you after you check some of the designs from her portfolio:
American in Paris
When I saw this editorial in the first issue of Matchbook Magazine (that I definitely recommend checking!) I literally gasped. We know that I love everything French and so it was a pure pleasure to look at the beautiful, romantic and so dreamy pictures! All in all, life in France calls for much chicness, style and details nailed to perfection! If you’re not ready to embrace all this – forget about Paris (yes, it’s that simple!). Here are some lovely, French inspired photography, for a leisurely (or not) Wednesday.
‘Neon bright’ home tour
I was flipping through the special edition of Adore magazine the other day and spotted a home tour which is definitely not for everyone! Decorated mostly with dark hues, the home does have pops of bright neon colors seen in coffee tables, decorative letters, wall art and more. And I remembered that I got to see some pictures of the home before yet never knew they belong to one space (and couldn’t even imagine this!). Here are a few pictures:
Serbian Made: Shtirak Design by Sonja
Hi everyone! I hope you had a relaxing weekend and you fueled up for another week! The traditional Serbian Monday is here and today I have for you a talented girl, creator of beautiful and oh, so feminine jewelry – Sonja and her brand Shtirak Design by Sonja! I had the link to her Facebook page bookmarked for a way too long time and now the time has finally come to share her work with you all! Needless to mention how much I love everything, but I’m digging very much the delicate earrings she’s creating – pretty ribbons and buttons, amazing colors – what else a girl can ask? Oh and everything is handmade, how about that?
Happy weekend
Happy weekend, my loves. What are your plans? Anything fun to look forward to? Or just plenty of R & R (like me)? Whatever you do, have a good time! I’ll meet you all back here on Monday, enjoy the weekend! xoxo

Home Tour: Nicole Cohen of Sketch42
Rue Magazine issue three went live yesterday and I cannot begin to describe how fabulous it is! Seriously, it was almost surreal to see SO much inspiration in one place, at one time. I perused the issue a few times last night and was nearly not breathing with every single turned page. I adore it, the issue is pure fabulousness and I highly recommend it, you’ll find there everything your heart might desire: fashion, interiors and home tours, shops, mood boards and many behind the scenes pictures and videos! And of course there was one home tour I just couldn’t ignore and that is the home of my fellow blogger Nicole Cohen, author of Sketch42 blog! Her home is to die for! Combining classic, eclectic and modern styles, Nicole’s nest is dreamy! Enough talking, here’s a glimpse at Nicole‘s home (find more in Rue):
Oversized mirrors
I’ve been planning to write a post about oversized mirrors for quite some time and it’s finally happening! I find myself flipping more and more through online ‘pages’ (read sites), pictures, staring at some gorgeousness to die for! I’m smitten by the impact an oversized mirror has on a room, they bring elegance and grandeur to a space! Not to mention that a mirror like that can easily be the focal point in a room, that’s why choose carefully – you don’t want to create misleading impressions about your style, right? I for one would choose an option from too: shabby chic, worn off and washed out OR a golden Victorian beauty to greet me every time I come home.
What would you choose? And would you actually bring an oversized mirror inside your home?
Chesterfield love
Before I had crush on chairs. Not that I stopped, but now I’m seeing things wider, bigger – that’s why I have a crush on a sofa, but not JUST a sofa, it’s a Chesterfield sofa, so elegant and glam all at once! And while I’ve never been a big fan of leather couches, I’ll totally take a velvet Chesterfield, which feels royally stunning! I’ve gathered a few inspirational images and while you scroll and scroll to see them, think about how do you feel when seeing this couch – you know that your opinion has always meant a lot to me!
