Counting down...

Good Morning! So if you live North of Manhattan you'll know exactly where I'm coming from when I say, by early March I am VERY over the cold weather! Bostonians can't help but repeat this phrase daily to one another right around NOW!  I went to college in Maryland, so I know the grass starts to turn green down there any day now. I miss having a southern spring!

The warm weather hasn't arrived quite yet in Boston, but I can dream and scheme about it. To brighten my day and yours I thought I'd ease into the week with a fashion post. I'm counting the days until I can wear open toes, carry a light bag and feel the warm sun on my face! It hasn't shined here in days!

The outfit pictured could take me from a design meeting to cocktails! It's a simple layered look and is really all about mixing the idiosyncrasies of texture and pattern! It's classic with an edge,  just the way I like things! Navy, emerald and aqua make a fabulous color combination!

Jules Reid at home

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jules Reid's story in Matchbook Magazine this month. As busy mother (i'm not sure if a man lives in this house, but it doesn't really look like it) and business owner myself it was refreshing to read about how this very talented lady made amazing things happen for herself! Her home and gorgeous clothing line are equal parts chic + whimsical! I've been keeping an eye open for a little cottage for myself and little ones. It's nice to see such a quaint, warm, welcoming, causal home in print! 

This emerald leather vest is amazing, as is her outdoor porch!

I'm loving the quadrille wallpaper and her necklace in this colorful shot.

Her entire outfit is adorable. I think I need to get my hands on her purple and orange dress, very David Hicks inspired indeed!

Same name and initials as moi?? I think I need these jewelry boxes in my life someday soon!

 

also loving today..

this entire spread is amazing...the gold, the textures, the colors, the lighting, that day bed, the black stripes.. I LOVE it all.

continued from this a.m. more blue and yellow love...

NOTE TO SELF: MUST USE A SLIM AARONS PHOTOGRAPH IN A PROJECT SOON!

See I told you I was all about blue and yellow lately....

Neon pink is a hot or should I say "a cheery" trend for Spring 2012. Is it for you? or not? Personally, I love pink. Hot pink makes a great accent!

Room of the week = 1.3.12

I'm drawn to the graphic simplicity and colors used in this bedroom. Everything about it is gorgeous, the light quality, the densely tufted headboard, the black dresser, it's beautifully done.
