{oscar de la Renta+ lee jofa}

If you haven't already heard Lee Jofa has teamed up with Oscar de la Renta for a line for summer fabrics. The line will be officially unveiled this evening at the Oscar de la Renta store in New York City. All I know is that the window display featuring a few of the fabrics is making me quite confident that it will be a stunning collection.

And those necklaces...pretty divine as well!

relax + rejuvenate

Whew! This week has been moving at a speedy little clip. I am definitely in need of an evening of relaxation and rejuvenation. So time for a glass of wine and cheering on the Blackhawks. Now if only I was also ending my day here...

Love the simplicity, absence of color and mix of soft and clean lines.

pretty in peach

Pastels for fall? Yes, indeed. Peach is the perfect warm and luxurious alternative to the traditional pastel shades of summer.

Do you have a favorite fall pastel?

evening eye candy {metallic mosaics}

Ok, I know a metallic mosaic tile back splash may seem like a bold choice but I just adore the way it looks in this kitchen. When paired with a playful pale blue ceiling and sleek cabinet hardware it comes across as modern and sophisticated space.

So inquiring minds (well, mine!) want to know-- what is your take on this look?

a touch of cozy

This morning I decided to brave the snow and darkness and take the dogs for a longer than usual morning walk. I also decided to do this while wearing flip flops (not my best decision ever). Needless to say I am still quite chilled from this excursion and would love nothing more than to curl up in a cozy blanket or warm up my toes on a cozy faux fur rug.

Hope you are having a lovely (and warm) Friday!

Lonny Magazine Launch!

I knew that there was a reason that I was excited for October 1st but I couldn't remember why. That was until I woke up this morning and remembered it was the day that Lonny Magazine, an online magazine hoping to reopen the doors to accessible design, launched.
I have to say that this 195 page collaboration between Patrick Cline and Michelle Adams did not disappoint!

I wish I could spend the entire day drooling over the amazing interiors, gorgeous photos, fabulous tips, wonderful styling and oh so fabulous hyperlinks to many of the products featured...but, I am sadly off to work.

Aren't those dining rooms stunning!? I highly recommend that you pop on over and take a read! I would love to know what you think.

loving {neutral design + branches}

One of my favorite inexpensive touches to add to a room is a vase of branches. They hold up better than flowers and I am currently in love with the wonderful warmth and texture they add to neutral rooms.

I also also crazy about the simple styling of these tabletops. Hope you all had a lovely day!

modern glamour

Every girl needs a little glamour in their life, even those living a less than metropolitan lifestyle in Jackson Hole. My dream house would have at least one room that exudes modern glamour or at least a touch in the closet. I especially love sophisticated modern glamour that I believe can be perfectly achieved by pairing moody hues, luxurious creams and a jolt of shimmer.

What do you do to add a little glamour to your life?

simple is best {for today}

Work is still insanely busy and my to do list seems to be growing and growing (much faster than I can check items off.) So, I am very much looking forward to a quiet evening of relaxation and some time away from my dreaded list. I think that coming home to this clean and simple kitchen would definitely be the perfect start to such an evening.

I just love the whitewashed floors, simple open shelving and the farmhouse sink!

Not to mention the overwhelming charm and delightful lack of clutter.

Ahh, I feel better already! What helps you transition from work to relax mode at the end of the day? Hope that you have a wonderful evening.

afternoon project {calling card pin board}

I have very awkward shelves (skinny and shallow) just to the left of my refrigerator that don't fit anything other than perhaps a random candle or two. It has bothered me for quite some time now that I can't store or display anything useful in them and today decided to take action! As luck would have it I then I realized that my vase full of corks (I love collecting them) was full and it hit me that I could somehow place the corks in my awkward shelves and use it as pin board.

So I tried and the corks fit perfectly! However, I couldn't quite figure out exactly what to pin to my newly installed cork board, as everything was too large to make sense--that is other than calling cards...

So I now have a calling card board, am no longer bothered by my awkward shelves and can now see all the fun patterns adorned on my cork collection!
