watercolor prints

I love this spring's trend of watercolor prints!

It's great in fashion,

these dresses speak for themselves.

Pillows from West Elm, the perfect punch

to spruce up a bed, sofa or chair.

How about this as a fun focal point in a room?

Brighten up your workout with Lululemon's Unicorn Tears print.

We just got a store in Cleveland at Eton Collection!

...and I had to have the shorts!

Ikat prints: better than ever

Starting with the shorts from Calypso,

it was easy to assemble Ikat patterns

for the latest in fashion + home design.

Ikat inspired prints have made a comeback the last few years

and they keep getting better.

What was once considered tribal is now hip and fun!

This is what I came home to...along with snow flurries.

passionate for platforms

These Calleen Cordero Monada heels with their

textured platform heel + metallic leather finish

might be the hottest shoes I have ever tried on!

I discovered them in a great shop in Sarasota, Florida

called Juno & Jove. (great website, too)

Not sure I can pull the trigger, but wow!

...and with my new Calypso dress?!

Cinderella

is proof

that a new

pair of shoes

can change

your life

beach house: something's gotta give

It's time for my beach vacation and that reminds me of

my favorite beach house from the movie 'something's gotta give'.

OK, so most of it was a movie set, but still fabulous!

That fantastic kitchen!

...the cozy open great room

...and that desk with a great view!

marimekko bottna print in GREEN

in honor of st. patrick's day!

One of my all time favorite prints is

marimekko's bottna print in green + white.

I love the large scale and how the pattern

is cropped on my large 26" tray.

It's the perfect place to transfer appetizers from

my kitchen to its' next destination.

(the fabric is available, but unfortunately not the tray)

painted gray cabinets

Until my dream kitchen,

I continue to try and improve my not-so-dreamy one.

My husband says even though the kitchen isn't great,

the food that comes out is...which might further the renovation.

Who thought cooking well could be held against you?

My kitchen cabinets are now

freshened up with Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray,

A friend told me it felt french, sounds good to me!
