Here Comes The Sun!

Happy Spring 2011

I am so excited for all the amazing color coming out in fashion and furniture stores!  Yellow is such an optimistic color, you can’t help but smile when wearing it or seeing it as an accent piece in your home.  It is also a very vital reminder that warm weather is almost here!

So, use these photos and objects as inspirations for a very cheery 2011 outlook!

the power of pink

Happy Valentine’s Day!

i "heart" pink

 

Some of you may know how much I adore pink…I can’t even count the amount of pink things that I surround myself with from clothes to ipods to perfume (Victoria’s Secret Pink) to sharpie pens to my newly adored Kate Spade bag.  Why do I love pink so much? Am I the only one?

So, on this V-day, I thought I would explore the power of pink.

In my life, this color has always spurred me to action, allowed me to face challenges with optimism.  Purchasing my first Kate Spade bag in my favorite shade was a symbol of good things to come in 2011.  I already feel it’s effects as I juggle new clients and new love.

Other pink things I adore:

i am obsessed with peonies!

That’s all for now!  Happy “Heart” Day to you!

Things I love – Black & White – Part 1

So, if you don’t know me, you have no idea how much I love the combination of black and white and how classic and timeless it is.  Also very versatile, it can be upscale or whimsical, depending on the application.  (I am also crazy with a capital C for the color red but I will leave that for another entry.)

I am also loving the chevron pattern trend which is of course the rug I am slowly saving my pennies to afford at West Elm (see below).

Well, I have just discovered a few other fun black & white pieces to covet…Let me know if you like them, too!
