Oh so soft and ethereal...

Happy Monday everyone...I wanted to include a little something enchanting and magical. Since soft and ethereal photography always makes me sigh with happiness, I thought these pictures were perfect. We need a little dose of happiness & inspiration today (since I know we all have Monday fever), so I hope you enjoy! xo

Tablescape awe...

 

 

 

 

I have seriously been dreaming of planning a party (a certain type of party in particular, cough cough) for a long time now! How gorgeous are these tabletops? I am seriously having an inspiration overload right now, I must say. I think my absolute fave must be the second table from the bottom. The simplicity of the silver tablecloth coupled with the delicate white candles, clear chairs and perfectly pink roses makes this table to die for. So chic and fabulous!

Have a lovely (color-filled) weekend!

 

It has been raining, dark and dreary here in San Francisco for the last couple of days, so I thought we needed a little boost color to lift our spirits! I think these pictures certainly did that, no? I hope everyone has a lovely and relaxing three day weekend...

Heavenly pops of pink...

How absolutely soothing, sophisticated and beautiful are these interiors decorated by the talented Suzanne Kasler? She truly has a gift for combining elegance, livability, and a time-less style that you could never get sick of. As I have said before, I absolutely adore soft pink and neutral decor--it's simply gorgeous!

"Take me away" Tuesdays...

Sigh. Don't you feel so much more relaxed after looking at these serene photographs taken by the talented Joreen Bones? I certainly do. I adore how her photography looks like it was taken ages ago and rediscovered after many lost years. Photography truly has the unique and beautiful power of taking us away to far off lands and to a new peace of mind and tranquility. I feel more relaxed already...now, back to reality!

Have a sparkling Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with sparkle and beauty. Whether it be beautiful pink decor or fashion, be surround yourself with some "be-dazzle" today and be sure to pamper yourself or a loved one. After all, it IS the day of love, and that can (and should) include doing something lovely for yourself as well! Go out and pamper yourself with something sparkly and gorgeous for yourself today...you deserve it! Much love to everyone! xoxo

Spring Stripes

With the sun in full force (yes, it is amazing to live in Cali & we are totally spoiled), I can't help but start planning my spring outfits! I know that stripes have been around for many seasons, but during this season in particular, stripes are beaming more than ever and are overflowing with nautical personality and sass on the spring 2011 runways.

A touch of romance & lace...

There is no doubt that lace truly has a spirit of it's own. It can be both romantic and ethereal, yet can quickly morph into being extremely sexy and provocative as well. White lace is truly timeless. It is gracing the runways in full force this season, especially in shoes and accessories. With Valentine's Day coming up, what better way to kick of a weekend of lace, romance and intrigue.
