Happy Tuesday, sweets! I apologize for being absent yesterday, things were crazy busy and it looked like the day flew by without me noticing it! Today, since outside is so cloudy and gray, I prepared a perfect post and I mean a post to cheer you up! We all love stripes (proven many times!) and yellow, so here’s an idea of how to cheer up your kitchen or any other room using the two details: with a striped rug and some pretty daffodils you’re sure to transform a room into a sunny place!
TGIF! We made it, let’s get some applause, shall we? For a Friday post I chose a topic that I believe we’ll see a lot this year and this is brass. I’ve heard many predictions for brass and they all conclude that 2011 will be full of it. The reason I can think of is its timelessness and its always stunning look in a room. Brass items that have on them time’s stamp (also known as vintage) never looked better than when seen in a modern home, with eclectic touches. Its subtle glitz always brings a feeling of glamour to a space, so I believe brass would work perfectly in ANY home, no matter the style. Of course, it’s all about your personality, that’s why I ask you – do you love or hate brass?
This post will make you happy, guaranteed. I was looking and looking around for the past few weeks and I finally realized that this Spring bold, bright hues will be on the top of everything. Whether we speak about fashion or interior design, expect to see rich orange and delicious teal in every aspect. And I couldn’t be happier, you know? I’m already dreaming about the dresses I’m about to acquire, lipsticks I’m going to apply and bright, joyful moments I’m going to live while surrounded by pretty colors. Sigh, I think I’m too carried away by this bliss.
Would be an understatement if I say that I adore the 4th issue of Rue magazine, it’s brilliant! Go check it yourself if you don’t believe me. While perusing the latest issue yesterday, among billions of posts and images I loved, there was an editorial that I just couldn’t stop looking at – it’s the one from the desert. Let me say that I wowed when I saw the cover (picture from this editorial), it was a piece I’ve never seen in any other online magazine nor printed one and as I heard in twitter land there are many tweeps saying it was a risk to have a cover like that – a ‘risk worth taking’, that is.
Well ladies, I have a post just for you! Tell me one thing, how does your dream shoe closet/dressing room look like? Pink walls? Crystal chandelier? Velvet settee? Stripes? Heavy, satin ceiling to floor curtains? Leopard print? I know mine has all this and I can’t get enough of dreaming about it. I mean, could there be anything more beautiful, more glamorous and sophisticated than a royal-like (exactly how we all deserve it) shoe closet+dressing room? Of course let’s not forget that our dream shoe closet must have a ridiculously big number of pretty heels and a ton of clothes, a girl can never have too many of these, right?
Happy weekend, my loves! It has been a tough week for all of us as we suffered along all the people in Japan who fight for their survival these days. And even though it’s painful we must move on and focus on all the good things that are ahead of us. I thought this post might be helpful as my experience shows that we all love to indulge ourselves in dreaming about pretty places and inspiring interiors. I speak today about country chicness, mixed styles (where wood meets crystal chandeliers) and I truly believe this post will be after your own heart.
I know I’m way too late to the party, but how could I skip posting about the latest Lonny mag? I couldn’t, so here I am with a few of my favorite pictures. I must say, I was at the point when I thought Lonny just CAN’T get better and voila, the March/April issue is more gorgeous than any other! If you had time to flip through the mag, what did you like the most? Because I really can’t choose!
Hello, my dears! First of all I want to apologize for posting so late today, but don’t worry – anyway you’re in for a pretty treat :). With Spring in mind, the only thing I can think of are flowers, sun, flirty skirts and a bright color palette. So today my little blog is all about flowers and how you can inject them into your home (I must admit I’d love a room in my home all in florals, that feels so fresh and vibrant).
I hope I didn’t whine too much about how much I want sun and warm weather, did I? Good, then one more post will not hurt either. Seriously I cannot wait anymore! A post dedicated to a shade of yellow which is fuzzy, soft, dreamy and truly feels like sun – it’s a mellow yellow inspired post! Not too smart, not too boring, just the perfect dose of pretty pictures that I’m sure you’ll all love (haven’t met ONE person in my life who doesn’t like yellow, have you?).
What would you expect to see in a painter’s home? Of course paintings! Now imagine this: a painter living in Sweden who has a modern Scandinavian loft with plenty of stunning colorful artwork? I know, bliss! I couldn’t resist sharing this home with you all and I now once again proved to myself and all of you how big sucker I am for colors and Scandinavian flair and although I often find myself cheating on these two with French loveliness, rustic charm or vintage pieces – my heart will always skip a beat for Scandinavian style with a colorful twist.
