Amanda Nisbet

While I love coming across a new-to-me interior on Pinterest, there's something equally fun about returning to a tried and true favorite. This space by interior designer Amanda Nisbet is one of my all-time favorites for obvious reasons...

Lacquer tray / Glass hurricane /Greek key pillow / Society Social chair

Dragonfly matches / Jonathan Adler throw blanket

Here are a few pieces to recreate the look. I really need to take an Instagram of these glass hurricanes because they are b-e-a-utiful in person! Perfect for seasonal entertaining.

Desk Du Jour

It has much too long since I've done a desk du jour post! When I spotted this lovely little desktop here, I knew it would be perfect inspiration for a cozy Sunday... 

Black and white plans for something surely fabulous, a pretty crystal lamp, gold-bound books... I think my quartz votive holders would fit right in with this pretty muted palette. What do you think of this space? Stay tuned for more desk du jour eye candy in the coming weeks!

Saturday eye candy...

My friend Joanna sent me the link to this article in the New York Times and a couple of the rooms were so pretty I couldn't help but share!

It was love at first sight with the art over the mantel. Isn't it something? This could be a DIY project — find your favorite book cover, apply a watercolor filter in Photoshop, blow up at your local Kinko's, and frame however you like!

I also love the contrast of white moulding and brass hardware in the bathroom. That glow you see is the result of a pink skylight over the shower. I'm not sure if I could do it in my own home but it sure creates an interesting effect!

Heidi Klein Bow Bikini Tops

Let's cap off the week with two new arrivals at Shopbop that stopped me in my tracks. You know when you see something and think, "That was made for me!" and suddenly have to have it? Case in point:

Heidi Klein bow bikini tops in cream and stripe

Have you ever seen a cuter or more flattering bikini? I think not. Now to plan the trip where I'll actually get to wear them ;) Have a happy weekend!

P.S. Whatever you're up to this weekend, be sure to check out the 30% off sale at Gallery Wall. That means original watercolors for $7 each!

Lilly Pulitzer Home

It's not every day that I happen upon a furniture designer whose wares I absolutely adore so when I do I think it's cause for celebration. Won't you indulge me in a little Lilly Pulitzer daydream?

Pink walls, white floors, and bright yellow barstools? Total eye candy.

This Greek key chair reminds me of this pillow in my boutique!

How stunning is this floor  mirror and pink armchair? I think I'm in love.

Even if these pieces are out of your budget, I like to think there's lots of styling inspiration to be had. The collection definitely has me wanting more pink in my life! Shop the entire line at Neiman Marcus.

J.Crew's Ballet Boutique

If there's one brand that gets the bulk of my spending money, it's J.Crew. Their stores are pretty, their website is great, and their products (and styling!) rarely disappoint. And then they come out with a campaign like this one and I'm at a loss for words...

The Ballet Boutique. Seriously have you ever seen anything more gorgeous? And do indulge for one moment: can you imagine having all forty-eight pairs in your closet? Oh, J.Crew, I think it's safe to say you've done it again.

New arrivals!

Pardon this iPhone snap of my desk but I had to let you know that we've welcomed a few new arrivals to the boutique, including this little baby topiary. 

I have two on my desk (trust me, you don't want to see the other half in its current state) and I think they are about the cutest things, well, ever. Check out what's new and let me know what you think!

Neon Pink Perfection

There's pretty in pink and then there's perfect in pink. I'll let you decide...

Criss cross straps, neon pink leather, and reasonably priced? Rebecca Minkoff, you've outdone yourself. Get yours HERE.
