Trendspotting: Feeling Fruity | 4.8.14

We all know that fruits are a vital part of our diet & daily nutritional intake. But lately they’ve been popping up in some unexpected places…

going bananas | picking apples | pear pot

Get your daily dose at home:

basket | measuring cups | pear soap

Do you have any fruit inspired decor in your home?

Clear Skies | 3.19.14

It’s a rainy day today, but I am hoping it clears up soon and the sun comes back!

And speaking of clear, sometimes the perfect addition to your room or wardrobe is no color at all! Have you ever thought of going clear??

1 | 2 | 3 | 4

Why clear? Well, in the home, it provides function (example: seating, table, etc) without obstructing anything visually. It’s ideal for small spaces, but looks great anywhere! In the dining room below, imagine wood chairs that match the dining room table. The overall look would be much heavier, bulkier and darker. The clear Ghost chairs keep things light and airy because they visually don’t add any weight (note: this does NOT work in clothing. wink wink).

I think we can all imagine what clear cloths would look like on us, but what about clear accessorizing. If we’re talking bangles & baubles, it has the same affect as the above described chairs. If we’re talking clutch/purse/handbag, the effect is a modern/whimsical meetup that lets you decide if your carryall will actually carry all (or very little indeed). A clear purse gives the option of accessorizing with all the fun make up and trinkets that are usually hidden in our bags or forces us to pare down to the bare minimum.

So, I ask again… Do you do clear? Personally, I love ghost chairs and want some for my very own. I can’t quite get behind the clear purse trend, but I may make an exception for one of these:

And here are some really neat Etsy stores making them by hand: Shop Here!

What I’m Watching: True Detective | 3.5.14

Mid week Oscar’s break: Time out from all the glitz and glam for a little bit of grit & suspense! One of my favorite shows on currently is True Detective. It’s intense, brooding, insanely clever and overflowing with visual clues and imagery.

Have you been watching? Watch out for the Yellow King.

Obsessed: The Olympics | 2.11.14

Well I think the title says it all. I love the olympics, summer & winter. I love the athleticism, the sportsmanship, the pomp & circumstance, I love it all! Every two years, I settle comfortably in my obsession and immerse myself in the games, the rules, the competitors and the host country. True story: just yesterday I wikipedia-ed how to play curling. I read every last word and I am now prepared to watch every last minute. Disgusting, I know. But I LOVE IT!!!!! I don’t expect you to share in my obsession, just enjoy my celebration of said obsession below! Go USA!

Design Files: Dreaming of Spring | 2.5.14

I can’t help it. As another 6-8 inches of snow falls down on me, all I can think about is “it’s February. February is only 4 short weeks. Then it’s March and sometime in March it usually starts to warm up. Soooo… only a few more weeks. Practically there…” This winter has been hell and I have to keep my eye on Spring or I’m going to curl up in the abyss of snow in my backyard and cry.

I feel warmer already.

Is that…. Is that a road clear of salt & snow that I see??

You mean I don’t need 57 layers to go outside??

And just like that, spirits are lifted and I’m happy (and warm). At least until the next time I look out the window….

1 | 2 | 3 | 4

Are you a snow bunny or are you just as excited as I am for Spring???

Happy hump day!

Linzeelu, Thank You

Color Fave: Mellow Yellow | 10.6.13

Days are getting shorter (and colder…. brrr). Let’s add in a little more sunshine as we head into the latter half of fall!

They call me mellow yellow. Well, they don’t but that song was in my head. I’ll wager it’s in yours now too.

Half way to the weekend, mellow yellow!
