Python Pillows

How exotic are these python pillows? Textured neutrals are a great way to keep a monochromatic palette aesthetically interesting. My darling reader Annsley from Houston sent me these pictures and I was only too happy to share them with you all! Her sure-to-be-chic home will be featured in the first issue of High Gloss Magazine and her e-commerce site should be up and running soon! If you can't wait another moment to introduce one of her python pillows into your abode, however, simply contact either 4510 in Dallas or Perch in New Orleans. Thank you, Annsley!


& the winner is...

Is the suspense killing you? I thought now would be an appropriate time to introduce 300&65 Ampersands, a tumblr that posted one ampersand every day in 2010. Isn't it such a handsome character? So handsome, in fact, that just last week I ordered an ampersand pillow from Jonathan Adler using his amazing Design Your Own feature. What's that? You'd rather know the winner of the Cory Renee giveaway? Well in that case, drumroll please...
The winner is #44, Shannon of What's Up Whimsy! I will put you in touch with the delightful Cory, who will have your pretty purse off to you in no time. Thank you so much to everyone who entered — you can find (or design your own!) lovely little clutch in Cory's beautiful shop right here!

Help Me Help You

I have long desired to start an interview series here on Design Darling. I'm all about fabulous fashion, intriguing interiors, and pretty paper, but I think it's high time to take things to the next level around here, don't you?
So I have three pressing questions for you, my darling readers. First of all, who do you want to see? Artists, bloggers, designers, editors, entrepreneurs? Fashion, interior, graphic? All the above? Toss some names out there!
And second, what do you want to know? Anecdotes, failures, triumphs? Inspiring advice, personal favorites, tricks of the trade? Let's hear it!
And lastly, what shall I name the series? Fallon rocked Behind The Curtain, Katie did Plucky Pioneers, Paloma started Style Files... Get those creative juices flowing for me, will you?

P.S. Perhaps you've heard there's a lovely leopard clutch that could very well become yours?
