A Patio Set to Love!

I've been looking at a whole lot of patio furniture lately for inspiration, as I prep my backyard for the summer. I love comfortable furniture with lots and lots of vibrant accessories. During my search,  I ran into this set on eBay. And it's at a very affordable price too!

It has a very California-Palm Springs vibe to it, which I love. It reminded me of this patio designed by California designer, Krista Ewart. Isn't it lovely?

And here is a similar design in black by designer Hillary Thomas.

Love love! I wouldn't know which one to pick if I had to. On the one hand, the white set is so lively and light, but the black has a more traditional appeal, which works well with my house. Which one do you prefer?

Loving Kate Spade!

Now my love for flamingos has been well documented here on this blog, I know. It seems, though, that the folks at Kate Spade are also enamored of them!!! Mother's Day is just around the corner, and I think this bag would make a great gift for many a stylish mommy. Don't you think?

Pink is Chic!

There I’ve said it! Now, I know what you’re thinking, “pink is for girls”. But trust me, it is definitely not just a girly color. Lately I seem to be running across it everywhere from interiors to fashion to accessories. Pink is back in full force.

It is an immensely versatile color and can function as a neutral….creating a soft palate that is calming, modern, and gender neutral.

Granted one can certainly indulge the inner girliness! Here pink takes center stage creating rooms that are both glamorous and chic.

Pink can also punctuate a room creating a pop for a look that’s full of vivacity.

And then there’s the application of pink in children’s rooms….interesting, unpredictable, and yes a little girly!

Of course, I can’t leave out fashion! Camel color and pink! Genius really.
