White space

I usually find white spaces to be a bit steril or just bland, but Fitzhugh Karol and Lyndsay Caleo’s brownstone is anything but. Fitzhugh {a sculptor and woodworker} and Lyndsay {jewelry designer and goldsmith} are the duo behind the interior planning and architectural design for the brooklyn home company. Don’t miss Design Sponge’s detailed tour of their home here.

Enjoy Cupcakes

I love a vintage trailer and I love cupcakes….what an amazing combination!  Former pastry chef Amber Vander Vliet and husband/partner Kevin from Enjoy Cupcakes will bring their gorgeous {and delicious, I’m quite sure} cupcakes to your event in their ridiculously cute vintage turquoise and white trailer.  {If you are near enough to them in California’s Santa Ynez Valley, which sadly, we at Ruby Press are not.}

Their almost endless list of flavors includes mimosa, meyer lemon chardonnay, mexican chocolate, and strawberry lemonade…

And if you don’t have an event to lure the trailer to, visit Amber on weekends in the chic tasting lounge at Saarloos & Sons.

Gimme Shelter

Have you checked out the blog Shelter yet? It’s incredibly chic and packed with design inspiration! The lovely Paloma introduced me to the blog and provided a link for a peek into Julie’s home {Julie is the woman behind the interior design firm and blog, Shelter}. Care to take a tour?

Nesting Newbies

I just discovered a fantastic new digital shelter magazine and had to share. It’s called Nesting Newbies and is geared towards people “new to nesting and have no clue when it comes to cooking, entertaining, and decorating”–a great resource for those of us who have not quite mastered our way around the kitchen {I’m SO guilty!}. The affordable ideas for creative tabletops, cooking videos available on the website, and delicious food photography may just be the ticket to helping me overcome my fear of the kitchen!

Vogue Italia

After falling in love with this Paolo Reversi shot on coco + kelley, I just had to see the rest of his 2005 Vogue Italia spread. Gemma Ward is pretty stunning in all of the shots, but I think this one is my favorite!

Girls night in

Contrary to last weekend’s forecast, it rained. I was looking forward to grabbing drinks with girlfriends on Saturday, but none of us felt like venturing out into the wet night. A cozy evening at my place with lots of red wine turned out to be just as fun! I love these shots from The Cherry Blossom Girl’s evening equivalent.

Cheese Table

I love this beautiful display of cheese, bread, fruit, and honey that Sunday Suppers created for Darcy Miller’s The Bride’s Guide! This might be my perfect dinner…with a little chocolate, of course.
