spring is in the air?

It may still be winter but today my rubber flats felt almost appropriate as there was the sweet  smell of spring in the air. The warm breezes left me daydreaming about fresh spring palettes...

fashioning interiors {glam sophistication}

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I adore this interior shot -- the sepia tone of the map, the perfect chandelier and the eye catching aqua and gold of the chairs. It is glamorous and perfectly sophisticated all at the same time!

current cravings {rouge + aqua}

I saw this shirt and my jaw dropped. As much as I love the the sweet feminine sleeves it was the colors that really made me stop in my tracks!

(milly shirt, rab labs coaster and hermes altai blanket)

inspired palette {shimmer + sea}

I have had this simply charming fabric from Serena and Lily on my mind ever since seeing it on a pillow earlier this month and clearly it still is. I just love the two cool shades of blue mixed with the warmth of gold..

beautiful bars {hint of pink}

If you entertain frequently a proper bar is a must! A well styled one can be easily achieved using beautiful glassware, the proper accessories, small personal trinkets and to keep it fresh just a little hint of pink...

evening eye candy {midas touch}

Just a little mid week pick me up from my favorite metallic hue. And oh how I would love to spend the evening submerged under bubbles in this beautiful bath...

inspired palette {violet + khaki}

I am not a purple person. As much as I love color it has always been one of those that I have a hard time loving. It always seem to sacchrine. However, I do love it when paired with the weight of colors like khaki and olive...

And what about you?

a sunny disposition

Whether it is underfoot or on the arm yellow has the ability to instantly lift moods and put spring in a step. The impact of this sunny color is only intensified when set against a neutral backdrop...

cozying up

It is a beautiful snowy evening here--it makes me want to just curl up with a cup of hot chai tea beside a fire in a rustic yet refined setting...

inspired palettes {sophie theallet + chris barrett}

I thought it would be fun to start the year off with a brand spanking new series featuring color palettes inspired by fashion and textile designs. I am actually not quite sure I will ever find (but oh I will try) two talents where their creations work as harmoniously together as those of Chris Barrett and Sophie Theallet. These two bold palettes are full of lovely and contagious energy...

craving {amber + pewter}

For a long time I was pretty stuck on cobalt blue being the perfect color to balance the warmth of amber but after seeing these lovely pieces together I think I may have a color combination habit that is going to be pretty easy to quit. Hello amber and pewter!

{event inspiration} red, white + blue

So it isn't the 4th of July but patriotism will never go out of style and neither will the colors inspired by the sentiment....

fashioning interiors {relaxed + refined}

There is something very appealing and unexpectedly elegant about relaxed looks with a refined edge.

a bold fresh start!

After last week I was in need of the relaxing qualities of blue but today I am need of the bright and energizing quality of the color to start the new year...
