La Salle de Bain

I rarely post pictures of bathrooms on Design Darling because, well, they're rarely all that inspiring. This gem from Rue's third issue is an exception for me. I love the moulding around the window, the clawfoot tub, the pedestal sink, and the ornate mirror above it. And doesn't the dark tile provide a dramatic alternative to classic white subway tile? 

The A-Line Shift Dress

Have you noticed Design Darling's outfit in the new Gadabout-designed header? It's a simple A-line shift in hot pink accessorized with turquoise bling and bow-tied sandals — and it's a look I'm loving right now. Of course, if I can't convince you, there's always Victoria Beckham, Molly Sims, and Gwyneth Paltrow rocking the long sleeves and short hemlines to do the trick. Now where to find my own Design Darling shift?

Media Maven

Hi there, ladies and gents! I'm taking this Monday morning to gush about my love of social media. Did you know that Design Darling is on Facebook, Twitter, and now Pinterest? In case you're not familiar, Pinterest is an online inspiration board, allowing you to pin favorite images onto virtual boards of your creation. You can follow other people's boards and see when people repin images from your boards. I'll be using mine to corral new online finds and keep track of old personal favorites. I hope you'll take a peek — you must follow Alaina and Ashlina!
