It's Like Riding A Bike

Who's going to find me a fabulous vintage bicycle with a worn leather seat and a pretty wicker basket? A girl can dream!



I'm participating in Averill's fabulous "Shop Like A Design Blogger" series over at Odi et Amo today and hope to see you there!

Bag Lady

Currently coveting more than a few clutches and handbags from Shopbop. What is it about this time of year that sends me into a shopping frenzy? 




What are your fall fashion must-haves?


P.S. Thank you for all the sweet comments about the updated look but I must tell you that this new layout has nothing to do with the redesign I'm working on with Jessica from The Love List! Just me playing around and trying to make the blog a little more sophisticated for you all ;) Worry not — a new header and a few other surprises are on their way!

Black & White

There is no color combination so foolproof as classic black and white. I really don't know whether it can be done wrong — and that's saying something! 




Black doors are the perfect complement to a white palette with gold accents.

I wouldn't mind returning home to this apartment foyer with its painted brick and whitewashed floors. 

Don't you love the edge that black trim lends to this otherwise monochromatic kitchen?

A little gloss never hurts either! I love the overgrown bouquet and stacks of books in this simple but chic space.

Renters and commitment-phobes need not worry — just a dash of black paint transforms a clean-lined credenza into a graphic masterpiece.

Even a pair of throw pillows will do the trick! I love these, these, and these from new sponsor Fabricadabra.

How do you use black and white in your home? It might just be my new go-to!
