Afternoon In The City

Posted on | May 30, 2008 | Comments Off

Lucky for me we work 1/2 days on Fridays in the summer. Since it seems not everyone get this special privilege I usually spend my afternoons just walking around and enjoying the weather. Today I was searching for a birthday present for my niece. I had this grand idea of going to Toy R’ Us. I was frightened by all the strange plastic toys and bizarre dolls that were way to sexy for my taste. So I headed down to Flatiron where I took a few shots of Anthropologie’s fun bug windows and then to Union Square’s Greenmarket to pick up a few last minute items for dinner tonight. Have a great weekend!

Egg Press

Posted on | May 30, 2008 | Comments Off

Egg Press is another one of my favorite letterpress companies I saw at the Stationery Show. Each piece is so sweet and delicate. All the cute motifs have expanded into a huge line of wedding stationery (above), kids tees and even diy sewing projects (raccoon below). I literally spent over an hour last night drooling over the galleries of invitations featured on minted.com. Prices range from about $700-$1000 for personalized wedding packages. Check out more of egg press’s everyday stationery and diy projects here and their huge collection of wedding invitations here.

Outdoor Space Ideas for Weddings

Posted on | May 29, 2008 | Comments Off

I have always imagine getting married outside in the springtime. I’ve hoped that someday the event would be in my backyard filled with close friends and family. Domino just launched a huge new gallery of outdoor rooms that would be great inspiration for a backyard wedding or party. I’ve had the above photo tacked to my bulletin board next to my desk forever. A great mexican fiesta would be so fun and it would give me an excuse to buy tons of gorgeous oaxan textiles and paper flowers. A close second would be an event that felt like a casual afternoon lunch in an englist garden (below). All the looks have a mismatched bohemian quality that I totally love.

Amanda Peet’s Guest Room

Posted on | May 28, 2008 | 1 Comment

I keep coming back to this bedroom from Amanda Peet’s home pictured in Domino magazine. I love the muted greens layered with various patterned florals and touches of yellow and ruby red accents. I wonder if I could paint something on the walls similar to the motif using a block print and small detailing with a brush. The space just looks so comfortable and lived in. Love!

J.Crew Goes to Morocco

Posted on | May 28, 2008 | 2 Comments

It seems even mass-market preppy brand J.Crew has jumped on the trendy Moroccan bandwagon. No matter how much I see the trend done this Spring I honestly can’t get enough. I love the color and patterning that so apparent in the architecture and culture of Morocco. I snatched up the orange dress below because truly I couldn’t live without it. I told I friend,”I don’t know if the dress looks so amazing on me but I am so in love with the fabric I will wear it anyway.” Check out more from the catalog now in mailboxes everywhere: j.crew.com.
