Confetti

There is something about the act of tossing confetti into the air and watching it fall aimlessly to the ground below.  This lovely image from one of my favorite blogs, Inspired By This, inspires me to decorate a floor with confetti made from endless color, size and material options!

Did you know that you can shop a preview sale of the Tucker, John Derian and Mulberry designer collections for Target today at Gilt?? With all of the buzz generating about the three collections, it’s hard to say which one I’m most excited about. Let the impulse shopping begin!

Rachel Ashwell’s Home Sweet Home

Leave it Lonny to come out with yet another spectacular feature…

Ever since designer Rachel Ashwell débuted her television show back in 2000, I have been completely hooked on the Shabby Chic style.  Her collection has gradually seeped into my life- from my curtains and armoire, to a handful of lovely night gowns.  So of course, I loved seeing Rachel’s London apartment in the August/September issue of Lonny.  It’s exactly how I pictured it would be; soft, romantic, a little shabby, but ever so chic!

Food posters

I was perusing Oh Joy! Eats (my new favorite food blog), and found these cool illustrated recipes by Claudia Pearson.  I want to hang all three in my kitchen!

Cake bunting

I was on Design*Sponge and saw these beautiful images of cake bunting from Kiki La Ru. The bunting would make any cake look festive and adorable, and I love the styling. But mostly…I just want a slice of that cake.
