Happy (Sunny) Weekend!

I've had a long week. Work is insane right now, and in my few moments of spare time I try to take care of the many wedding details that are begging for my attention. But this weekend I'm attending my bridal shower, and I can't wait!

Along the way I'm hoping for bright sunshine, a pretty outfit, maybe some flowers...

... a bit of time to relax on the patio and enjoy the freshly planted flower (thanks, Kevin!)...

...and wouldn't it be great to come home to a bedroom like this? A girl can dream!

Before I go, please forgive me for the lack of posts this week...I hate to be away for so long. Hopefully next week will be better. If nothing else, I'll be sharing my amazing wedding invitations which just went into the mail. As soon as my guests receive theirs, I'll be sharing the images with you all!

Until then, have a great weekend! xo Elizabeth

I think I need this rug.

I don't collect peacock motifs, but this is really pretty... via here...

End of the Week Eye Candy: Lulaland

I can't believe I haven't come across this talented lady's work before! Lula Aldunate seems to do it all, from interior styling to event decorating to hand-crafted pillows and eye-popping posters...

The best thing is that everything is full of saturated color, exuberant pattern, and layers and layers of charm. Do spend some time perusing her Lulaland. I guarantee you will find tons of bright and playful design inspiration!

Spring Round-Up

It's that time of year. As you all know, I can't let the season pass without cherry-picking my favorite Louboutins! This time, I've selected the perfect summery sandals and pumps to wear with everything and anything. Personally, this would be my dream shoe wardrobe for a glitzy, European getaway, or really for wearing every day with vintage sundresses or rolled hem jeans. My favorite? The lilac and black patent beauty with blush pink studded trim. Perfection!

Tuesday Eye Candy: Fantastical Furniture

I'm dying over the AMAZING "Shadowy" patio chair from design genius Tord Boontje. Oversized, over-the-top and totally gorgeous! Via here...

Photo Shoot Love

Love the super cool photo shoot for Tory Burch's spring 2010 campaign. Shot by Tina Barney in Burch's own home, it's an inspiring mix of fashion and home decor. I would DIE for her blue and white-patterned sitting room with fluffy white rug and lucite table! Check out behind the scenes from the photo shoot here...

Pens and Parties

I'm loving the new stationary and party supply line from Jonathan Adler. Everything is super reasonably-priced and so, so cute. Favorite item period: the chevron-festooned ink pen! Such a playfully chic accent to your notebook or agenda...

Sharp and Graphic

This is a child's bedroom, but I kind of want it for myself (with a bigger bed though, of course!) Love the clean, graphic palette and carefully-chosen toys and accessories. So modern, but it still has tons of charm!

Friday Eye Candy: Dreamy Pastels

Since I neglected to post my usual Tuesday Eye Candy this week, I thought I would leave you this Friday with these yummy interiors from Traditional Home magazine. The bathroom in particular is just beyond gorgeous! Hopefully these images might lend some colorful inspiration as you head into the weekend! Have a great one, everyone!

Coveting... Cynthia Vincent for Target Wedges

I'm not even kidding when I say that I'm literally counting the days for the new Cynthia Vincent for Target collection to hit stores. This crazy-cute wedge is $29.99 and unbelievably fun and perfect for summer! Cheap shoes are definitely not my thing, but you can't go wrong with an affordable canvas espadrille wedge. A swoon-worthy bargain, don't you think?! April 18 can't come soon enough...

Honeymoon Wardrobe

While I'm on the subject of weddings, I might as well mention that, in an ideal world, I would take along all of these dresses from Vionnet's Spring 2010 collection. I think a great, neutral-colored Christian Louboutin espadrille would be the perfect compliment (and also more comfortable for sight-seeing and shopping.) A girl can dream, right?!

Wedding Registry

Hmm, maybe I should have registered at Hermes just to get all those beautiful orange boxes... Isn't it amazing how positively decadent a pile of cardboard can look?!

Pretty in Blue

I'm swooning again, now over this perfectly cool and lovely home via Style at Home. The dining room is particularly dreamy, don't you think?

Swoon...

I want to wake up tomorrow morning and find this bathroom waiting for me...
