Tuesday 2Fer: Red Hot

It's been H-O-T the past few days, which invariably leads me to start dressing in as little clothing as possible (and appropriate.) It also gets me thinking of sultry, tropical colors like these fire engine red + hibiscus pink numbers above. And instead of looking at the opposite side of the color wheel for accessories inspiration, I'm diving into rose gold. Just seems like the right thing to do.

Spare Room: Whimsy

We're off to Louisville, Kentucky for the long weekend to see some friends and relax in the surrounding countryside. I used our visit to horse country as the inspiration for this Spare Room. Couldn't resist. Enjoy your holiday everyone and I'll see you back here soon!

Yellow Accents

top kitchen / twin beds / galley kitchen / kitchen counter / breakfast nook / bottom kitchen 

Really feeling color lately (which for me, gal who loves her neutrals, is a BIG deal) especially this lovely lemonade shade of yellow. When surrounded by a mostly white space, a little accent of yellow goes a long way in brightening up a room.

A recipe for success: clean lines + lots of airy light + white + dash of lemonade yellow = awesomeness.

Avalanche Print

I was looking for something else last night when I found French company Avalanche Print. Don't you love when that happens? Sometimes serendipitous findings are the most special. In any case, the striking styling of the photos are what stopped me and then I noticed the super cool tote designs and everything at that point was a done deal. The website (also cool) branding and identity are designed by Say What Studio and their aesthetic is right up my alley. Very modern. Very chic. Do check it out. Oui.

Tuesday 2Fer

I couldn't decide which look I liked better, so I'm showing both and making Tuesday 2Fer a new column on the blog! Thanks to my friend Bergen of the blog Ashland + Winona, for introducing me to Swedish company Bric-a-brac. They have pretty duds that feel very mid-1960s-European-prep. The sandals are both from Ancient Greek Sandals and are fabulous, yes?
