Black and White done right!

When designing with black and white, always be sure to add enough texture, dimension and material interest. If this isn't done the room and/or your outfit will fall flat! These examples are spot on. {I adore this final shot}. Hope you are having a great week.

Surely Chic, {room of the week}

Celerie Kemble certainly didn't hold back when designing the model apartment for N.Y.'s upper east side Manhattan House. I especially love the dramatic foyer and living area! These rooms aren't for the faint of heart but they do prove you really can't go wrong with black, taupe, gray and white..{she throws a hint of coral in to break things up, well done Celerie - adoring your work lately!}

A Reading Corner

Space is so valuable in our places, but if you can, find a place for a good comfy reading spot. A place where you can kick up your heels at the end of a long day. Look around your home tonight, you can find it !!!

Rich Colors !!!

Who says you can't use rich dark colors in small spaces !!

Pops of Color !

Inspiration 5.27

Sooo, remember yesterday when I declared it "open windows" season? I was so wrong. It's officially AC on full blast, lights off season.

But y'know what makes the unbearable heat ok? Brights. I don't know what it is, but sweltering days like this make me desperate to break out of my uniform of creams, navy, and light pink with glorious neon accents -- belts or sandals, a fun, beachy tote or an AC worthy cardigan.

My seasonal love for hot pinks and electric greens spills over into interiors too. I'm adoring the Mexican riviera vibe of these rooms.

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.
