Yes, friends – it is that time of the week! Waiting for the end of the work day, so we can put on our favorite sparkly dress, have a glass of wine and a cupcake! Let all the stress out, relax and enjoy a peaceful weekend with loved ones!
Thanks for visiting the past week! xo
Dabble magazine‘s new issue launched few days ago and since I never got to introduce you to it, I thought now would be the perfect moment. Do check it out, meantime here are two images that caught my eye with their red chicness. Great job, Dabble mag team!
How insanely gorgeous is this space? Chevron, red-black-white, catchy patterns, eclectic and chic – i for one LOVE it!
What about this bedroom? Wall decals never looked more stylish :)
Green & yellow feels spring-y, fresh and alive, so I was very excited to see these bookcases from IKEA (hello, affordable goodness!). Not only they’re cheery, they’re also quite functional – just like a bookcase should be. Now tell me, are you a fan of IKEA or not? And what do you think about green and yellow colors?
Would you use these two in your home, together? I’m not a big fan of concrete when it comes to living spaces, the coldness of this material makes me shiver when only thinking about it. Of course, the wood warms things up a bit yet I still feel I wouldn’t put concrete floors in my home (plus who needs so much gray color?). I do like how concrete and wood look though – one has to be real bold to have the combo in his home.
We all need a bit of glamorous every once in a while. The need increases on cold winter days when there’s not much of it our clothing and living, generally speaking. So to get your dose of everything beautiful, glittery, feminine head to This is Glamorous tumblr (my new virtual crush). The place is gorgeous – I promise, you won’t regret.
Have a lovely start of the week!
It’s time for Friday’s one picture post :), but wait to see what picture! It’s a delightful living room, airy and light, with an insanely gorgeous settee, enormous windows, a calming fireplace, eclectic and stylish – are you intrigued? That room feels like a collection of different eras’ details as it has bits of classic glamour, modern designs and I even spied touches of Scandinavian! Can you believe all that together? You’re definitely intrigued now, right? :)
Have a fabulous Friday, loves! xo
Wouldn’t it be amazing to go to Abu Dhabi for a relaxing vacation filled with sightseeing? Wouldn’t it be awesome to see The Grand Mosque there (also called Sheikh Zayed Mosque)? I’m daydreaming right now about that and luckily I can also see some pictures shot by Jamie from the beautiful From me to you who happens to be there now. That place is indeed grand and so majestic. So much attention to details, I was left speechless upon seeing those images. Remembering the saying ’a picture is worth a thousand words’ I leave you now to see everything by yourself. More pictures in Jamie’s blog post.
Remember yesterday I mentioned I found my idol? Forget that, today I found my idol and it’s – drum roll, please – Kate Spade! Who am I kidding, I don’t have just one idol, the list is endless and they’re all equally divine. Ok, back to Kate Spade. I came across her paper delights the other day and couldn’t take my eyes off that gorgeousness. I’m a huge stationery nerd (meaning I’m totally obsessed with paper goodies like notebooks, cards, envelopes etc.), so I was thrilled to see that the paper collection of Kate Spade is just as one would imagine it – stripes, colors, dots and lots of golden details – heaven!
My love affair with black and white is a known issue for everyone, so nothing too shocking in this post. I mean not shocking as you could guess I’ll be dying over this post’s chicness. Confession: I have never seen such a fabulous home office designed around black and white. Seriously, it’s to die for – Nina from Stylizimo is my new idol (her home office we’re speaking about). As every black and white space, this home office is simple yet not simplistic, it’s very inspiring and laid back, it’s comfy and serene – could not ask for more, don’t you agree?
Ok, not really, it was a sort of an intro :). I’m so in love with the well-known zebra wallpaper, aren’t you? It’s so very cool, whimsical, but traditional all at the same time. The best it’s that it can fit any room, but truth to be told I’ve seen it mostly in bathrooms and I’m not sure why. I would gladly use it in a living room or even a kid’s room – what do you think?
Kate Spade used it in her bathroom, Miles Redd decorated with it, so I guess it’s worth giving it a try. Would you?
Happy Monday!
