Lust List

lustlist 1// Sunnies  2// Bikini Top Bottom 3//Sandals 4// Caftan 5// Clutch 6// Earrings, Necklace   7//Dresser

As you can tell by lust items 1-5, I’ve got summer on my brain. I mean, pink scallop sunnies?!! What could be a better summer accessory? And I don’t know if y’all know Athena Procopiou, but I am absolutely in love with this line of caftans, coverups and scarves. The bright, graphic prints are so different than anything out there. I never thought I’d be a caftan kind of gal, but {4} would be perfect for my upcoming trips to the beach and are nice enough to wear out on the town. In other brand news, Bauble Bar {6} has kicked off their new “Guest Bartender” series by collaborating with some of my favorite bloggers from Honestly…WTF. If you’re a fan of antique costume jewelry, you’ll love this line. Wear one as a statement or layer the pieces up for a chic look!

Fixture Trend Talk: Silver vs Gold

Isn’t it funny how trends are so cyclical? A trend rises, peaks and then fades away only to be seen once again in the next decade or so. I’ll use jeans as an example. For years and years, it was all about flared denim and then in 2003 or so, skinny jeans were all the rage and flared jeans were “so out”.  Finally after about 10 years, flared jeans are finally making a comeback. Another example {and reason for this post} is gold/ brass bathroom and kitchen fixtures.While gold was very trendy in the 80′s, chrome and silver took over and only recently has gold made a comeback. Unlike my jeans example, chrome and silver isn’t passe, it’s just gold is having a moment right now. I know the look can be polarizing so my question for you is: Which do you prefer? Gold or Silver?

Let’s look at kitchens first

Domaine Is Here

Get your Pinner fingers ready! The creators of Who What Wear, Hillary Kerr and Katharine Power have officially launched their home site, Domaine. I’m loving the home tours of celebs, designers and my favorite, fashion stylists. It only launched last night, but there are already about a million pictures I need to pin. Luckily they’re already on Pinterest!

Bedding Inspiration

We are about to “re-decorate” our bedroom and I am pretty excited about it. I use the term “re-decorate” loosely because the only thing that has really ever been “decorated” in that room in the past four years is the bedding and the bedside tables. But this time, we are getting the works.. curtains, lamps and new bedding. I am bi-polar about bedding and this will be our fourth time to change our duvet {average of one every year not bad right?}!  Our latest look is an all white duvet, shams with black piping and a moroccan wedding blanket and while I love the serene look, the all white is not very practical for two fur babies who sleep on it with us. So, it’s time for a change! We had a stylist from Blueprint come over on Monday and I showed her a few inspiring looks including Taylor Tomasi Hill’s bedding I featured last week and some  pretty printed fabrics seen below.
