Another fab bag

Been surfing the net this morning waiting to hear back from my clients. And i found a winning style from Clare Vivier. Her bags are light and soft and best of all the price is right. I always enjoy a little glam, see these golden and silver totes.

Swell Madewell

I've been looking for a canvas and leather bag for the last few months. I came across this bag on Madewell website. The price is right and the shape is perfection. However I am not sure if the strap will fit well across or is this just for one's shoulder?

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.
