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?

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):

Dental office to love!

I know, I never thought I’ll say this, but I’m actually enamored with a dental office! You heard right, a dental office in Bucharest, Romania which is so pretty, I’ve never seen anything like it! Mihai from Freshome shared with me this project thinking I might like it and I did, but how could I not? It’s purple and plum, baroque, with gorgeous wallpapers, stripes and just nailed to perfection! Oh and wait to see the settees – you’ll die! Hello, purple dental office with stunning settees? With a design like hat, I’m ready to visit it every day (please note that normally I’m pretty afraid of dentists and their offices). Thanks to Mihai for sharing this with me, to see more pictures and a detailed information about the project visit Freshome.

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!

Serbian Made: Cakes by Tintolino Family

Happy Monday! For this week’s Serbian Made I have a delicious post, literally! I present you the prettiest and the tastiest company here in Serbia, creating the most gorgeous cakes I’ve EVER seen: Tintolino Family! I had the opportunity to try both their salty and sweet catering and I can say it out loud – they’re fabulous! Not only the team is super sweet, they’re also responsible and reliable when it comes to business. They make cakes for different occasions from weddings to kids’ birthdays to any other event in somebody’s life. And yes, I wholeheartedly recommend them! And now here are few of their creations (plenty of pictures, sorry – I couldn’t stop).

Happy weekend…

Just as I said in my previous post, I popped by again to wish you all a lovely weekend, with a pretty post which I hope you’ll love. I figured that we all love balloons. All of us, no exception! And so I put together a small collection of balloon-y pictures which are cheerful, airy, dreamy and all in all beautiful pictures. I thought this would be the perfect way to wish you a gorgeous weekend and to thank you for your support and visits for the past week!

Enjoy, loves!

Bedrooms to-die-for

Outside is pretty ugly today, still I need to get out and head to my work, but oh, how much I’d love to stay in, cozied up in one of the below bedrooms, with many pillows, blankets and my lap top, of course. Sigh, a girl can dream, no? TGIF though and soon I’ll be able to do just that, so I’m really looking forward to the weekend. How’s the weather where you are? Are you enjoying winter or waiting anxiously for spring (like I am)? Anyway, here are some pictures to keep us warm and comfy at least by looking at them (and I so want to stay in bed today!).

Color+Inspiration: Pastels

Running my street style photo blog for a few months now allowed me see some tendencies, color choices which are often used and some trends. And yes, we’re speaking about fashion when mentioning my site, but I figured that the same (or at least similar) principles apply to interior design, no? If to recall photography that caught my attention, made me gasp, left me uber inspired – yes, we’re speaking about pastel colors brought indoors, emanating soothing vibes, relaxing and tempting us. Here are some pictures for a color+inspiration post:
