We see more and more of tribal in the blogosphere these days, so I thought I’d add my two cents – I’m hooked. I’m in love with the colors, patterns and I sure like how tribal is used in fashion – gorgeousness all around. But let’s not forget about tribal chicness as seen in interior design – it definitely adds a fresh twist to a space! Whether it’s a cushion, bedspread or wall art – your most exotic dreams become reality in an instant and who doesn’t love that?
Let’s {neon} party
Happy Monday and welcome to a new (hopefully exciting) week! As I mentioned on Saturday, dreary weather is what we’re having these days and I just need something to cheer me up (don’t blame this sun loving girl!). I stumbled upon Funkytime, a blog and magazine jam-packed with awesomeness! Seriously it was impossible to decide whether I loved more the food features or the DIY projects that Sibylle (the author) showcases. Anyway, the perfect felt the neon party from the Funkytime magazine, which is bananas – and you have the DIY for each item – how cool is that?
Weekend
Happy Saturday, friends! It’s a gorgeous day outside, so I’m going to take full advantage of it (especially since they announced rain and low temps from tomorrow – ugh). Brunch at your favorite coffee shop, lunch by the river and dinner al-fresco is all we should do days like these :). I hope you’re going to do the same thing! Enjoy the weekend!
P.S. Thank you for stopping by – you’re awesome!

Nursery prints by Urban Tickle
I fell in love with these adorable nursery prints and wanted to share my find with you. Have you seen Urban Tickle‘s work? Heart melting and so perfect for a nursery/toddler room. They also have wall decals and stationery (baby announcements etc.) and each piece is cuter than the other :)
Pantone fruit and vegetable tarts
So you probably saw the brilliant and delicious work of Emilie de Griottes for the French culinary magazine Fricote, didn’t you? The Pantone fruit and vegetable tarts are inspired by the Pantone color swatches, made of bananas, tomatoes, carrots and lemons (and much more) – so yes, it was blissful to look through them (needless to mention I was drooling big time!). Here are a few:

Isn’t this genius? I must admit, Emilie is my new idol :)
The beauty of the little things
We’ve all heard that life is all about the little things that make everything prettier. Today I’m drawn to these little things that make me happy by looking at them. Peonies, romantic color palettes and astonishing vignettes is what rock my world this beautiful Saturday.
Enjoy your weekend, sweets!
Copper lamps, you have my heart
Indeed they do. I’m in love, but how could I not be? The shape, the shiny surface, the impact on a room – all these speak for themselves: a copper Globe pendant lamp is too gorgeous to be left aside.
Cocoa and Hearts paintings
I’ve been a fan of Jen Ramos for a very long time and few know that her blog, Made by girl, was the first interior design/lifestyle blog I read, which actually led me to write about interiors myself – so yes, I’m kind of emotionally attached to that blogger :). And she never ceases to amaze me – her latest adventure, Cocoa and Hearts, is truly fabulous! Jen is a talented artist who paints gorgeous art that embraces fun colors and yes, I had to share some faves with you.
Golden notebook DIY
I consider myself a huge notebook nerd. I just love writing down what has to be done, where I have to go, when I have to finish that particular task and although there are billions of apps to help with that, I still go the old style way – I write down in my notebook. I was always choosing bright notebooks (only my last purchase is a black, glossy one – I guess I needed some drama back then), so these fun, golden notebooks spoke right to me. Plus they’re a DIY project meaning we can all do it!
31 Bits jewelry
Happy Monday to all! Today we’ll kick off the week with a slightly different approach meaning this day isn’t about chic interiors, but bits of fashionable jewelry – 31 Bits to be more precise. 31 Bits is a brand selling handmade jewelry that comes all the way from Uganda! The idea came up to Kallie Dovel in 2007, coming to a life in 2008 and blooming ever since. The team behind 31 Bits works on a regular basis with a group of women from Uganda who create necklaces, bracelets and more from recycled paper and it all looks fabulous! What impressed me a lot is that 31 Bits offers several educational programs to those women – English lessons, finance training, health education etc. – worth being admired, don’t you think?
