Fall on a bag

Sitting on a porch looking over

the calm ocean in 25C weather the last thing on my mind should be Fall. However looking through a fall fashion magazine I couldn't help but fall on a perfect bag for days unlike today to come. Tommy Hilfiger's new ad campaign shows this amazing oversize bag. Take a moment to gaze at it with me.

Button Carpet

I just ordered this carpet for the new baby room. Not too childlike but not too grown up either. I believe it is just right for me and the little one to enjoy. Katherine Yaphe is an old friend of mine and she is the founder and designer of Oliver Yaphe. The photos are from her site and this carpet has been on my wish list for over about 6 years. Glad i have a good excuse to bring this into my home :)

Warm me up in sparkle

I am in total like with this sweater. I have too many taupe sweaters at home that I have been drawn to. The tone just works. I would switch out any of them for this one in a minute. Way to go Zadig and Voltaire!

More stair designs to chat about

In my ongoing obsession of stairs...I have my eye on these carpet runners that I saw on Y&Co website. They link to one of my favorite sites for rugs called Dash & Albert Carpets. The styles that get me excited these days are dish-towel style. And Roger Oats has this winning style Cluny in Denim and Raspberry color.

Parisian design with Japanese discription

Looking back at my travels, when I was in Japan, I discovered out of all places this amazing edition of design books. It's written in Japanese but called Editions Paris. It is really a beautiful series of books to 'read'. Given the language barrier I was simply taken away by all the photos. So much to look at, its definitely go-to books for all my projects. I have been trying to find their books on my side of the world..so far no luck. I could really use the book on baby rooms...wink wink.

A month has gone by....

...and I am back in full swing. Stay tuned for some fab finds during my month off.

OMG these shoes are FAB

I am not sure how i found these on the internet today....because I was sure that I was perusing rent-a-cars this afternoon and got clearly side tracked. I love these shoes from Rachel Antonoff for Bass shoes called Alice. Wishing upon a red bow they still had my size.

On my wish list

Adesso jewelry is all i wear these days. And here is a new crush I have from their Sorellina collection. Their new Fall collection is on my mind as well, the pieces are so lovely. I hope the designer Samantha Goldstone doesn't mind me describing her collections as bohemian chic. I wear her bracelets day and night. This necklace is icing on the cake!

Hook me up!

I am in like with these wall hooks. Check them out from formedandfound

I stumbled on this a while ago and took a snap shot of this colorful lettering. I really like the fading from one color to the next, it will inspire my next project.
