Shelter Loves...

Wow, is it Thursday already??!! Here's what I'm adoring this week........

1. Classic Fashion. How great is this Burberry jacket? I know their things cost a pretty penny but I think I'd own my purchases for life. I got my first camel Burberry scarf about 15 years ago and I still own it. I'd like the large print ivory version now!!
3. I have two events this weekend. (eek) I'll be wearing my newest cocktail ring from C Wonder!
4. My house is coming along. In fact I'm going to share a little "before" sneak peek tomorrow. The bathroom is almost done. It's mainly black and white. I'm just loving the classic and timeless appeal of glossy black with brass lately!
5. Prada just released their latest fragrance. I love trying new scents on.
6. Okay, I've blogged about this bag before. I think I need to snap it up here.

Happy Wednesday!  Here's what is on my radar this week!!

1. Sienna's hair looks adorbs. I need to perfect this look!
2. I'd live in these Loeffler Randall designed boots.
3. Drooling over Aerin Lauder's lighting collection for Circa Lighting. This beauty would work well in my new living room design.
4. Yum, I might now love the thought of chilly weather but I do love to cook in the Fall.
5. I can't wait to move into my new abode...I'll be sure to host a house warming party inspired by this fabulous bubbly bar!

I just realized this post is looking pretty girlie!! I love the way blogs capture what is on the author's mind in the given moment they are creating a post. I spent last night brainstorming about the design for my daughter's room. Her walls, per her request, are pale pink and I've decided to keep her closet doors off. I think I may paper the back wall in a bunny print, and add two racks for hanging and shelves for her pretty goody bins.

1. I'm loving this long, over sized pendant necklace. It's a little hint as to where my head is right now!! via 
2. I adore this take on a Dorothy Draper style dresser, available here
3. Adorable closet set-ups
4. I see me living in these Tory Burch ballet flats this Fall.
5. I pinned this Mary McDonald designed light fixture from Lumen's this week.
6. My dream is to visit the Amalfi coast next year. Positano, Italy is at the top of my list and staying at Il San Pietro hotel seems like a must!

Happy Tuesday! Here's what I'm thinking and pinning this week!

1. I love over sized, pretty earrings - just like these!
2. I think I want to wallpaper my bathroom. I can't spend a crazy amount of money on it. I'm considering Thibaut's, Tanzania.
3. + 4. I'm sinking most of my money into my new house but If I buy anything this Fall it's going to be a leather motorcycle jacket. This feminine version is cute.
5. Words to live by, I swear it helps your mindset!!

Happy Thursday!

Here are my thoughts today! I have lots on my mind. Isn't it funny how one cold day in the middle of July instantly makes you think of dressing for Fall? I'm not ready for the chilly weather yet but I do love a good fall sneak peek!

** Love that Dior quote!! It's so true....I may have to try that sweet red bow and pony look too!

1. I came across this butterfly this week. One would make a great statement art piece in an array of settings!
2. Now is the time to buy summer sandals, they are all on sale. I like the leather and leopard mix of these tiny wedge DVF sandals.
3. oooowww I love a good cocktail + bar arrangement!! I can't wait to arrange mine. I like Camille's tips for styling and making a set up your own!
4. This clutch has been popping up everywhere - i like! Check out MacKenzie's clever organization tip here.
5. I'm going to take my kids blueberry picking next week. I'm planning to make this crostata with the fruits of our labor... my Mom made a delicious blueberry cake this week with her picks.

Blueberry Crostataadapted from Julie Rosendaal

Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

1) Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2) In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch to get rid of any lumps. In a large bowl, toss the berries, sugar and cornstarch mixture, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt.
3) Unwrap the puff pastry onto the sheet. Mound the blueberries into the middle of the dough, leaving an inch or two around the edges. Fold the edges over the filling, just enough to keep the berries from sliding out, overlapping and pinching where needed.
4) Brush the pastry with egg and sprinkle with the course sugar. Bake until golden, about 20-25 minutes. If the dough is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil. Cool for a few minutes and serve with vanilla bean ice cream.

6. Fall fashion sneak peek. Here are two looks I'll be wearing this Fall. I'd love to find a cool (maybe even vintage) leopard coat.

This week I'm loving everything about gardens and Aerin Lauder!  Aerin's collaboration with Lee Jofa hit the show rooms this week and it looks fabulous...Her taste and style are impeccable. I'm especially inspired by her right now!!

The first image on the left is a peek of a project I recently had photographed. We set up a bar in the corner of the living room...I was very happy how it turned out!

Camilla Frances prints are divine. I could design a room around her color palettes.

1. Aerin's garden bloom compact available here.
2. Bauble love 

I have some exciting news I'm going to share with you all next week!!
I think I may need to design my new bedroom around this color palette. Pink, yellow and aqua, it's so fresh and feminine. I can't swing the Gracie wallpaper but I can absolutely be driven by it's beauty.

Have a great weekend!!
