| I'm loving Kelly Wearstler's refined fabric collaboration for Lee Jofa's Groundworks collection. Charcoals, blacks and cream tones paired with bright shades are sitting well with me right now! A couple of my girl friend's and I are thinking of heading to Miami for a getaway this Fall. (the plus side to using my Amex too much - free miles) I vote that we stay at the Miami-Viceroy. I'll at least grab a drink there to take in the amazing design details! I've been a fan of Kelly's work since I was in grad school, that was about 12 years ago. (I hate to date myself) The entire design hits on so many details that I'm currently adoring! See my mentions below! I love that Kelly marches to the beat of her own drum, her designs and fabrics feel more artist and dynamic then anything else. |

When I move I think I need to cover something in the charcoal and cream faux bois print (top pillow above) |
 |
| LOVE: Limed wood paired with aqua and deep cobalt |
 |
| Architectural outdoor spaces |
 |
| Graphic chairs, tufting and limey-yellow ( a color predicted to trend next winter) |
 |
| Rope details and small club chairs - working on a nursery with rope details right now! |
 |
| Oversized lamps and tufting! (Did I mention tufting ? ) |
 |
| And as ALWAYS, fret work..I'm always searching for the next best fretwork design. |
 |
| Custom Chandeliers and citrus yellow |
 |
| Do you have a wish list? I'm sure you do! I love to travel, and am always excited to stumble upon unique and inspiring boutiques, so I was THRILLED to discover Shopikon. It's a genius site and phone app that does the research for you. Shopikon celebrates the independent retailer and the shopping experience in cities around the Globe. I've always dreamed of taking off to London, and here's why... |
 |
1. THE AMAZING ARCHITECTURE AND THOSE ADORABLE LITTLE SPORTS CARS 2. TO VIEW THE STREET FASHION, FIRST HAND |
 |
| 3. TO TAKE IN THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE |
 |
| PHILLO 4. THE SHOPPING. LONDON IS FULL OF AMAZING BOUTIQUES. I COULD SPEND DAYS PERUSING ALL OF THE SHOPS. HERE'S A PEEK AT A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER SHOP. I'D BE INSPIRED BY THE COLORS, TEXTURES AND DISPLAY. |

| It's been raining in Boston ALL WEEK, so I've decided that I am going to take a full week off this summer, to take surfing lessons (lucky for me my friend Steffan is an amazing surfer), hang out at the beach, wear Kaftans, relax, and in my dreams rent a cottage like the one below. It will basically be my version of a Bohemian Beach Bum vacation. I may even shut my phone off for a few days. (not sure if that's possible, but a total escape would be perfection). P.S. I have always loved the top image, I tore it out of a magazine years ago and then it popped up on Pinterest! Ahh. Pinterest, what the hell did I do without Pinterest? Do I dare toss my files of tear sheets? |
