Christmas mania

Or should I say Christmania? I have to confess, although last week I said why hurry to winter holidays, this week I’m quite hooked on everything Christmas related. This was always my weakness – baubles, glittery decoration, the tree, the presents – all this magic puts me on a very festive mode (which I’m in these days). I keep seeing how people decorate this year their Christmas tree and guess what, looks to me the main colors are pretty much the same like last year’s palette – mint, teal, silver (check my last year’s post here), although the glamorous golden doesn’t look bad either.

Here are some images from Emily Henderson‘s holiday guide (LOVE it, by the way!):

Fall al-fresco dining

With the cold days upon us the only thing I want to do is cuddle up under a blanket; going out is the last on that list (unless is not raining and the air is crispy). But lately I find myself daydreaming about dining al-fresco, surrounded by all the gorgeous fall colors and scents, by a fire with a dear group of people. Oh and some delicious food is involved in my daydreaming – the thought itself makes me hungry :).

By the way, this post is a great inspiration for a Thanksgiving table setting – what are you up to this year? Staying indoors or going al-fresco?

Color+inspiration: Peach and aqua

I fell head over knees for this color combination: peach and aqua! Seriously? My two favourite colors used together – this is a mix created in heaven and it means total perfection in my book! Besides aqua I also love how seafoam green looks with peach (or even orange), it’s such a refreshing and gentle duo! Here’s some inspiration, what do you think about the look of these two shades together?

Dessert table: Tiffany blue+zebra

I know I normally don’t post party ideas and entertaining tips, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t inspiring me or has me swooning. So now, to show how wide my interests are I decided to share with you a dessert table created around a stunning colour – Tiffany blue (my color inspiration post you can see here) and a fabulous, bold pattern – zebra! Can you imagine the combo? Gentle and daring, airy and sophisticated – the uncombinable turned out to be a gorgeous colour theme, perfect for a baby shower, bridal shower or just a birthday party!

Pinteresting post

Have I ever mentioned how addicted I am to Pinterest? If not, this post will say it all. I’m browsing over there for hours and hours every day and still can’t get enough of all that inspiration, stunning pictures I’d never come across otherwise and all the inspiring pinners – it’s always nice to see what fellow bloggers and friends like in real life (again, things I’d never find out if it wouldn’t be for Pinterest). The best of it is that it doesn’t  matter what style you think suits you better – you can pin everything and create a VERY inspiring artful mess. Yes, it’s that good. I’m happy to be on Pinterest from the very beginning, seriously, these days I can’t imagine my life without it. You must try it, if you didn’t (which is highly unlikely). I have pinboards for fashion, interiors, food and much more – it’s unbelievable how much I cherish my pinteresting place :)

Chelsea Fuss – floral and event stylist

I must admit that being a design aficionado is not the only thing that makes me happy in this world.

So imagine my excitement when I came across Chelsea Fuss‘s portfolio. For those of you who don’t know Chelsea, she’s a floral and event stylist and you may know her for her uber inspiring blog – frolic! Chelsea’s work is absolutely delightful and I want to share my find with you now.

Set your table pretty

The most favorite thing in my life, at least at the moment, are nicely set tables. I simply adore pretty tabletops, which inspire you to no end. I’m seriously obsessed with table styling and am considering taking this obsession more seriously, after all, something that inspires you THIS much shouldn’t be ignored under any circumstance, right?

On the top of my list are tabletops decorated with neutral colors. They’re so calming and soothing, even more if they’re having a rustic vibe to them – it definitely adds some romance.
