Hello, my pretty friends! Happy Monday to you all and a wonderful week!

Simply Hue

Hi, my dearest friends! Happy Friday to all! I can’t believe it’s almost weekend, this week flew by without me noticing it! However, I’m really excited for the weekend and look forward finally seeing my husband today, spending time with ALL the family, having long brunches and just good time! What are your plans for the weekend? Wherever you are, I hope your week was productive and you’ll have a weekend worth it! Oh and if wherever you are it’s the same HOT,  killing weather, stay cool, better near some pool/river/lake and enjoy the breezy moments and the sun slightly kissing your cheeks! I’m leaving you with the warm and soft photography of Etsy seller Simply Hue (quite sure I don’t need to introduce her to you). Enjoy and have an absolutely delightful weekend!

Brad Ford ID

For my love for beautiful interiors and talented designers I want to share with you the portfolio of an amazingly inspiring interior designer, Brad Ford. His work left me absolutely speechless and his aesthetic is quintessential and totally delightful! The way he puts together modern and classic, new and old, colorful and muted in tones is quite impressive, if I dare to say so. Perfection in accessorizing, such a great eye for organizing a room and making it a flawlessly comfy space is what Brad Ford is offering to his clients.

Reader question: Cream, purple & gold bedroom

Hello, friends! First of all, I’d like to thank you all for the kind comments you’re leaving on creamylife, I can’t even start describing what do they mean to me and how much I appreciate you for taking the time to write them! I read all of them and every single of them makes me ultra-happy! Huge thank you!

Now I want to share with you a moment of happiness, some days ago I got the first reader’s question! Theodora asked for some advice on how to decorate her bedroom, which will be cream, purple & golden (three golden walls+one purple, cream window borders, brown furniture and so on). After reading Theodora’s bedroom description I imagined that already having lots of golden, the bedroom should have a cream ceiling, to brighten up the room and purple accessories, such as drapes, lamps and flowers, for example – for the perfect amount of simplicity yet chicness. I made up an inspiration board which will show what I mean:

Traditional rustic hotel

Some days ago, when I first wrote about my home country and its beauty, many of you asked me to post more pictures about it, its patterns, colors and traditional look. So I want to share with you now some pictures of a hotel, located in the countryside and decorated in a pure national style, showing traditional designs, colors and items. I actually wanted to take my own pictures of Moldovan decorations, to show you our history and well, traditions, but unfortunately these days everybody tends to modernize their homes, leaving behind that national portrait, the beautiful things that were surrounding our grandparents and which are by the way handmade by them. However, please enjoy some pictures of this pretty hotel and remember that everything you see here is pure Moldovan!

Color+Inspiration: Chocolate brown+White

Hi everyone! Chocolate brown is an absolute favorite of mine as you may recall, so I was wondering how will it look if paired with white? And the combo didn’t disappoint me at all! The brown, being an earthy, natural color calls for warmth and friendliness in a space, it’s inviting and makes the room be so peaceful. Unlike white, which is a crispy, neat and sort of a cold color and when combined with chocolate brown the result you get is a modern, light and stylish yet very inviting room. No surprise chocolate brown & white are used together for decorating bedrooms the most, but definitely they’re having the same effect in every other room and here are some proofs:

Everyday fabulous {August 2nd, 2010}

You know how I love Pinterest, don’t you? It’s so full of eye-candy I never dreamed seeing, so many stunning pictures that make me happy! Just like it happened when I came across the below picture – it’s breathtaking, gorgeous and so above all you’ve seen so far.

The only thing I know about this picture is that this place it’s in Italy and I so want to go there! The colors and the shape of this coast are amazing and yes, this is a DREAMY place!

UPDATE: Christine was so kind to tell us that this extraordinary place is Riomaggiore in the Cinque Terre. Thank you, Christine!

Hope your Monday is going well! xo

Style board: August ’10

Hello everyone! Without noticing it, it’s already August and I got myself thinking where does the time fly? I can hardly believe that seven months of this year are gone. Do you feel the same? On another note, with a new month I have a new monthly style board and this is what would rock my life in August:

As you can see, warm tones are working for me now, light fabrics and airy colors – a little help to resist this heat which is literally killing me! The Doll blouse looks very flirty and feminine, the bow shorts are perfectly completing my flirty style, don’t you think? Now thinking that I love to walk, the flats are a must and even more if they’re this stylish! The Michael Kors bag adds its casual touch and let’s not forget how much use of are big bags! If you think I’m missing some glamor, you’re wrong, the golden earrings are simple, but so gorgeous! What is a summer fashionista without sunglasses? These Miu Miu shades stole my heart – they’d live so happy with me! And the final touches are the lipstick of a soft peach color and Chanel Particuliere nail polish (to be straight, I adore this color!).

What would be your style board this month?
