Right now I'm loving super-soft shades of pink, the perfect antidote to the harsh, white light in January.

Fluent...

Sometimes I think I should just start a tumblr, because I could easily post pretty pictures all day, every day. I try to restrain myself, and put things in some context, but right now, it's rainy and cold here in DC. I'm avoiding the gym and all I want to do is stare at the peonies I bought at the farmer's market on Sunday and zone out.

So I apologize in advance for my laziness, but I wanted to share these lovely things with you, context be damned.

House Tour: Pippa Holt's London Flat

From the accessible glam files, I present the home of London-based stylist Pippa Holt. Holt's home was featured in Australian Vogue Living last year, but I only recently discovered them via The Diversion Project.

I often find that the homes I am most drawn to are the kind that make you want to be friends with the owners -- not overly styled, casual and filled with personal touches. Although the toile bedroom (which I previously posted about) is perfection, I am especially loving the stacks and stacks of magazines everywhere. Makes me feel better about my unruly collection!

Although I'm sure Holt's decor did not come cheap, I truly believe this is a look that can be pulled off no matter where you live or how much money you make. I'm usually not a fan of super white walls, but if you're a renter you might not have a choice. Here, Holt plays the minimal look to her advantage with white upholstery and lucite tables.

I also love how casually Holt displays cherished items (check out the fireplace mantel and the bookshelves) and her fearlessness in pairing mismatched furniture (like the chairs around the dining room table).

Ok, so all my DC readers know that SnOMG round two is on its way to the District, and THIS is where I would like to be spend the weekend.

Inspiration 2.1

I love toile, but always thought it was a little too old-fashioned and staid. I love how fresh it looks here against a white backdrop. All kinds of brilliant.

Shop With Me: Everything's Coming up Roses...

When I walked out of my apartment this morning, I was thrilled to be greeted with mild temperatures and the faint smell of fresh-cut grass. It reminded me of early spring, when most of the landscape is still muddy brown, there's frost on the ground at sunrise, and the very first pink and red flower buds begin to pop open. With that inspiration in mind, I decided to do a little digging to find some pretty, little items that would remind me of that feeling all year long -- delicate, feminine florals, vintage-inspired frocks, pale and shimmering neutrals and of course, roses everwhere.
