Behind the shelves.

3 Comments Posted by on May 8, 2012

Sometimes I think I’m over chevron — but let’s be serious — I just can’t shake it. I love the idea of using wallpaper behind bookshelves; the black and white pattern here is such a graphic balance to the traditional style of the room. Now — where, oh where, can I get some shelves like [...]

Zebra scarf.

7 Comments Posted by on May 1, 2012

Saving up for Scalamandre zebra wallpaper is a long-term life goal of mine, so when I saw these zebra scarves on Pinterest, I actually squealed out loud. They’re not real Scalamandre prints, but they’re pretty darn close (and under $20!). I immediately scooped up the green version, and surprise, surprise — I’m wearing it today! You [...]

Flower arranging.

4 Comments Posted by on April 30, 2012

I’ve been thinking about DIYing our wedding flowers, and one of my lovely bridesmaids found  a class on floral arranging nearby that we attended this weekend. It was so much fun learning a few techniques for creating bouquets! I can’t wait to practice what I learned with some other types of flowers.

I’ve never owned traditional espadrille flats; but after slipping into a pair while browsing at J.Crew this past weekend, that may not be for long. I love the bright colors they’ve chosen for this quintessential summer shoe. plus they were oh-so-comfortable. Now, which color would you choose?

Lately I’ve been experimenting with bold royal purples and bright tomato reds in my closet. I snagged a light silky purple blouse from Old Navy last week and paired with some of my favorite red chino shorts; then I spotted a purple and red necklace on the sale rack at J.Crew this weekend and scooped [...]

I have an awesome little sister. I came home this week to find a surprise package from her, and inside were these adorable little ring boxes in the shape of macaroons. They are just the cutest thing, I love the tiny little bows that lock the boxes closed — keeping my ring my safe when [...]

Sunday Brunch.

1 Comment Posted by on April 22, 2012

I snapped a few pictures of brunch at our apartment this morning before anyone arrived. I broke up some supermarket bouquets and dispersed them into my collection of mini jadeite vases for a centerpiece at the breakfast table, and put a little extra effort into displaying my fruit salad by layering melon and berries in [...]

Art in the kitchen.

3 Comments Posted by on April 11, 2012

I was digging through some old inspiration folders from when I first started this blog and found these two pictures of kitchens filled to the brim with collected artwork. I love how homey each of these rooms look. Slightly cluttered but artfully arranged, they  both look like places that are truly lived in. What do [...]

5 Under $50: Bright Studs

6 Comments Posted by on April 10, 2012

I’m a pearl earrings kind of gal; I wear big pearl studs almost every single day of  the week. Sometimes a girl has to mix it up though, and when I venture from my safety net I  gravitate towards bright pops of color from simple stud earrings. Here are a few of my favorites, all [...]

All about the case.

2 Comments Posted by on April 9, 2012

Confession: I debated over whether or not I should get a kindle for about a year, for some reason I couldn’t pull the trigger on the $80 reader. And then when my fiance surprised me with one a few weeks ago, I ordered a Kate Spade kindle case within 5 minutes of opening the box [...]
