HUGE FAVOR!

I hate to beg for favors here especially when you've all been so supportive of my newest venture but some opportunities are worth it! My family and I are huge fans of the show Shark Tank during which entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of successful venture capitalists. Shopify, the company that powers my boutique, is running a Pinterest contest where five entrants with the most re-pins will be in the running for a one-on-one meeting with Daymond John. Who knows what that could do for my baby business! So that's where you all come in...

I will be forever grateful to all of you who click over and re-pin the ever-popular coral candelabra from my boutique! The contest closes in 24 hours and some of the other entrants have been promoting for up to two weeks but hey, I like to live on the edge! I know there are quite a few of you who use and love Pinterest and I'm confident that together we can get Design Darling in the top five. What do you say?

To sweeten the deal, I'm going to give away a coral candelabra to one lucky reader who re-pins and leaves a comment saying they've done so below. Thank you and good luck!

SLIM AARONS PHOTOGRAPHY

I've been coveting several of his books for a long time so it was a nice surprise to stumble upon an online gallery showcasing the work of photographer Slim Aarons. I'll continue to dream of investing in one of his prints but in the mean time here's a little eye candy for us all to enjoy... 

Nice Pool (Palm Beach, 1955)

Family Pool (Lake Forest, 1960)

Sea Drive (Nassau, 1967)



Garden Party (Miami, 1970)

Poolside Gossip (Palm Springs, 1970)

Aarons explained his work as "photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." Wouldn't you kill to hang one (or more!) of his works in your home? He certainly has me wanting to hop on a plane to Palm Beach...!
