Hi everyone! Just wanted to stop by before signing off until Monday, to introduce you to an amazing stylist, Lili Diallo, whose portfolio is just a delight for me (hopefully for you too!). She’s a New York-based stylist with a great eye for beautiful spaces, colors and styling. And with her stunning work I leave you for the weekend, wishing you a fabulous time, hoping you can enjoy some pre-fall sun (and soak it at your best!). This weekend marks the 1st wedding anniversary for me and the husband and I cannot believe the time flew by so fast! Feels like it happened yesterday! Anyway, have a joyful weekend and I’ll see you on Monday!

Penelope’s room
Hello everyone! I had through my bookmarks a lovely blog post which I’m gonna share with you right now! It’s about the adorable room of Penelope, the sweet girl of Melissa – blogger behind ISLY (I Still Love You). The room is so full of sunshine, with all the popping yellow in there. It literally makes me happy just looking at it and I thought that Penelope’s room is definitely worth your attention! For the detailed description of the decorating process, check Melissa’s post about it, I’ll just share some pictures with you, hoping to bring little sunshine into your day!
Sneak peek of Belgrade apartments
Happy Friday everyone! Hope your week went smoothly and that you’re ready for a R&R time (congratulations to my readers from Canada and USA for having an extra day off!). This week Elle Dekor Serbia (man, how I adore this magazine!) gave us a roundup of Belgrade apartments featured in the magazine at some point. A small confession: I put my hands on Elle Dekor not so long time ago, so that being said – I missed some issues from before. That is the reason I was very thrilled to see the mentioned pictures; seeing that there are talented and stylish people here wasn’t a surprise, but seeing the proof of the fact was something exciting! So I’d like to share with you now some pictures, so you can have an idea of how are apartments in Belgrade decorated (of course interiors vary due to owners’ styles and preferences, but still):
Pattern love: Otomi
In continuation of the pattern adventure I’ve been living on creamylife, I bring you another design, all the way from Mexico, which is called Otomi pattern and it’s handmade by the Otomi Indians from Mexico. We all love it, but I know a few people who didn’t know the name of the pattern (including myself), so today I thought I can introduce Otomi pattern to everybody and say my two cents about it. Oh well, what other can I say except that it is a gorgeous embroidery, it’s handmade and will bring a slice of that Mexican charm into your home. These days Otomi is not only a fabric pattern, it’s also a gorgeous wallpaper which will dress up our space. Here are some examples of Otomi pattern:
Stefan Thurmann Photography
Stefan Thurmann is a Hamburg-based photographer who takes some seriously wonderful pictures! Of course his work wouldn’t be the same without the brilliant stylists he’s working with, but nonetheless his eye catches the beauty of what he’s shooting, far beyond what we all see. In Stefan’s portfolio you’ll see calming, neutral rooms, with cozy blankets and wood all over, as well as some other shoots, more contrasting and stylishly edgy. His work was published in many magazines and without teasing you more, here are few pictures from Stefan’s portfolio which appealed to me the most!
Serbian Made: Di Vogo paintings
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? As you can see, this weekend creamylife got a redesign and I’d LOVE to know what do you think about it! In other news, today’s Serbian made feature is a gentleman (for the first time!) and he’s an independent painter with a big talent and a creative sense of beauty. I came across his work last week and that same instant I knew he must be on creamylife, joining in for a Serbian Monday treat. While looking through the portfolio of the artist, Dragan Ilic aka Di Vogo, I was amazed by the astonishing work – paintings which show off a woman’s beauty, splashes of color and daring feelings and let me be straight, if before I’ve never fallen for paintings, now this changed and I started noticing the immense beauty of a well done painting. Take a look at Dragan’s work:
Old Belgrade
Hello, friends! Today is Friday and let me congratulate everybody with this, we made it! And for today’s post I’ve prepared some pictures which are very close to my heart for many reasons (some of them unknown). If you recall my yesterday’s post, you also remember that I adore retro style, old looking pictures and that overall atmosphere which was dominating in the 20’s, 30’s, but also 50’s and 60’s. So today I’d like to share with you some pictures of the old Belgrade, the city where I live now (you all saw how does it look now in this post) and I cannot begin to describe the excitement I feel to look at these images, to see how did the city look in the 20’s – mid 30’s. I thought this would be a perfect Friday post – so inspiring, relaxing and heart-warming :). Enjoy!
P.S. Please pay attention at the architecture, isn’t it fabulous? And by the way, these days we still have these buildings and the architecture always impressed me!
Retro Interiors: Mad Men style
Hello, everyone! I know, Mad Men is most likely not new for you, but believe it or not, I just started watching it (living in Europe leads to this kind of consequences). I’m at first season and slowly catching up with all the episodes, hoping that one day I can proudly say that I’m in a row with everybody. And being a new fan of this series, I couldn’t avoid having my eyes on the fabulous cast (of course), their outfits, but most of all on the decoration seen in Mad Men. That 60’s feeling is taking my breath away, leaves me in awe and never ceases to inspire me! From both graphic and floral wallpapers to tufted pieces to earthy colors Mad Men has a special charm to it, something that will take you to that era and you’ll end up digging retro interiors like never before (that’s what happened to me). So now, please enjoy a few pictures of the Mad Men interiors:
P.S. Happened the second time to me when I got crazy about interiors seen in a movie or series: first was Julia’s kitchen (Julie & Julia) and now this. Just wondering what’s next :)
Trunks and suitcases
…not only they are a beautiful, stunning detail in a room, trunks and suitcases also might be of much help if used as side tables in bedroom or coffee table in living room. Not to mention the knocking off effect if looking at them as pieces of decor. You won’t be surprised if I say that I absolutely adore when the above mentioned trunks and suitcases are vintage looking, retro styled and showing off the beauty of the time which left marks making them utterly charming and timeless. I’d give up all those modern, expensive tables for a priceless Louis Vuitton vintage suitcase that will inspire me every day, brightening up my life!
Etsy: Post road vintage
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you already know that I have a major crush on all things vintage – from furniture to books to paintings and so on. That being said, I figured I didn’t post long time about my obsession, so now I’m just ready to spread some vintage love here. Good thing Etsy is always here to help. Well, actually I got help from a particular shop on Etsy called Post road vintage. Seeing the pretty vintage jars, rustic hooks and adorable milk bottles made me gasp and a feeling of excitement embraced me. Does it happen to you when you’re so excited to see something that you almost can breathe and actually you can hardly focus to see it?! Well, it happens to me quite often. Here are my picks, visit the shop to see more.
