Twig Hutchinson

Reason #757 to love Twitter: This weekend, local foodie, and all around stylish girl, Nikki Rappaport tweeted a link to stylist Twig Hutchinson's site to me.

I was blown away. Hutchinson has the most perfect design sensibility -- romantic, homey, lived-in and bohemian. It's everything I love about interiors rolled into one gorgeous portfolio.

It reminded me of this great Jezebel post about catalogs: "The life your life could look like." They describe the secret life of catalog models. The description for Anthropologie, just seems so fitting for these images:

"You press flowers between the pages of first-edition Dickens novels. Your job involves traveling to Italy and being pensive in rooms. You have a book-strap. You have a wrought-iron bed. You know how to applique. Any sorrow you experience is like fine tea, artfully staining the stationery of your life."

The worst (best?) part is, that's basically the life of my daydreams. So, if any of my colleagues are reading this...all of those times you caught me blankly staring into space in my cubicle...this is where my brain has wandered...and I would prefer it if you didn't bother me while I'm busy making imaginary flower arrangements, or sipping imaginary tea in my imaginary wrought-iron bed.

P.S. Go check out Nikki's blog -- she has an amazing banana bread recipe up right now.

Flower Child Wedding Inspiration

When I first caught these vivid and bohemian images over at Style Me Pretty, I thought this wedding was too perfectly lovely to be real...annnd I was kind of right because it seems like it might be just a photo shoot from Jessica Claire Photo Shop (with an assist from Flowerwild and Duet Weddings)

No matter if this adorable couple is real or not, (but they should be based on cuteness alone!) I am still totally blown away by this gorgeousness -- that dress! (which was an Ebay find btdubs). Love. Love. Love.

Chambres en Ville in Brussels

One of my big regrets in life is failing to learn French. I don't actually go to France that often, I just think my life would be infinitely better if I could speak the language -- I picture myself cajoling french pastry chefs into giving me extra macarons, impressing smart people by explaining how much more enjoyable The Stranger is in Camus' native language, being able to tell a Parisian cab driver how to get me to the bus that takes you to the crappy airport in less than ten minutes and with fewer than 3 helpers.

Most importantly, I would be able to tell you, with certainty, what the deal is with this B&B (that's the questionable part) featured in Marie Claire Maison. From what I can decipher all of these photos come from a magnificent Bed & Breakfast in Brussels called Chambres en Ville.

Bohemian, light-filled, and tres chic, I'm pretty sure I would walk out of this place speaking French by osmosis.
