Palm Springs Pool-Side Style
Monday, June 18, 2012 at 5:55PM Hello there everyone! I've just returned from a sunny weekend in Palm Springs. I've found that early June is the best time to go. You'll miss the crowds, but still get to soak in the sunshine next to a sparkling mid-century modern hotel pool! Speaking of which, I was totally inspired by Palm Spring's desert glam, so I had to come back and do a retro pool-side style board! via POLYVORE.

Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 3:20PM I just finished up with a couple Save the Date design options for a friend's engagement party. By perusing her lovely Pinterest board, I found inspiration in the images of twinkle lights, glowing candles, blazing sparklers, and rich golden tones that all reflected the Midsummer Night's wedding theme. I'm so pleased with the way these invites turned out! Question is- which one will she choose!?

Friday, June 8, 2012 at 4:28PM I recently came across Charlotte Lancelot's gorgeous stitched furnishings on Bliss. I was intrigued, so I decided to check out her website. Sure enough, I discovered an array of unique forms of product design. Some of my personal faves are the Felt Memo Board, Orchid Tableware and Forget-Me-Knot Hooks. Thought I would share those with you today :)

Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at 6:08PM I'm absolutely enamored with the Ginny & Jude Collection by Sydney designer Rabia Lockwood. I can honestly picture myself wearing evey single one of these pieces. Rabia says, "[Her] aim is to create statement pieces for the perennially overdressed... [The] distinctly unique fashion accessories are constructed from a carefully selected combination of new and vintage materials. Each handcrafted piece is imbued with a rich world history; millinery trim from early 1900s Europe, vintage glass and Bakelite buttons, French mohair, knitted ties from 1960s England and monocles originally used in 1800s America – to name a few. The results are delightfully wearable pieces of art."
