PARADISE FOUND.

So, I don't know about you...and your current whereabouts...but I'm in a part of the country that's been all-too-friendly with winter for far too long, and I am really super over it. You know the notion "out of sight, out of mind?" It must work with seasons, too...right? Well, I'm giving it a try. Winter, we are done. And I will no longer think about you, or see you for that matter. So here's to spring. And here's to summer. And here's to lively colors, bold prints, sunny shoulders, teenie bikinis, and a late spring vacation to Latin America that I can hardly, hardly wait for:


Yep, in preparation for vaca, I'm going bottoms-up on citrus-infused, pretty-hued beverages, and channeling thoughts of Marysia Swim's geometric bikini, luxe turkish beach towels, Mara Hoffman's lively coverups, ethnic-inspired textiles paired with ocean-hued paint, a clutch that's worthy of Latin America, pretty in peach Nars blush, chic leather sandals, and thoughts of lounging amongst this insanely chic poolside.

What about you? Just as ready for warm, beach-beckoning weather as I am?

HAPPY WEDNESDAY.

THINGS I HAVE MY EYE ON LATELY:

As you know, I pretty much always have design on the brain. I go to bed thinking about it (usually curled up with my iPad and pinterest)...dream about it...and wake up more than ready to face the day doing what I absolutely love. So, here's a few of those design-related things that I've really been eyeing (and thinking, wishing, dreaming about) as-of-late:


Red velvet sofas..nearly as delicious as their confectionery counterpart. 



Molten hot chocolate...in super white cups and saucers. A perfectly pretty afternoon spread, no?
Oh how I love my own from Fish's Eddy. Seriously. Best dinnerware buy ever.

 Black and white tile. Our love affair will never end. 



Paneled interior shutters. Perfection...in every way.
Hoping to adorn our cottage windows with a pair that are just the same.


Give them to me.
Please?

If they weren't all a million dollars, I would use one as my headboard.



A-typical, super-plush window boxes that are spilling over with gorgeous blooms.


Stunningly simple wallpaper that's muted...and textured.
Why yes you may live in my new hallway. Like, now.


 Gorgeously-hued (and patterned) jackets, mixed with acid washed jeans and chic heels.
Leave it to Zara to always do a number on me.



Perfectly simple and classic facades. 
This girl's been dreaming up all sorts of similar combinations
for the exterior of our little cottage...and my studio.


All perfectly pretty, well-designed things...no?
Inspiration. It really lives everywhere.

HAPPY TUESDAY, FRIENDS.
Hope yours is just as inspired.

THINGS I HAVE MY EYE ON:

Les Indiennes fabric  /  brass and lucite sconce  /  Free People pumps  /  The Food52  /  
gold striped hair tie  /  amazing abstract art  /  rich, supple rug  /  a fresh-faced Kate Moss  / 
   Magnolia candle  /  hlack and white wooden utensils



Up super early (my favorite). Lots and lots and LOTS to get done. My day is already getting away from me. I've reheated my coffee three times already. I love my work...and also my life. And also these things. All so pretty, am I right?
