Awesome Color Combos...

... and prints, and accessories, all from Sonia Rykiel....

I think I'm going to have to try fishnet anklets with my sandals and pumps this fall!

Busy Week + Ditte Isager

It's been a busy week, and I'm sorry I haven't been posting much. Until I am able to share more (especially about the awesome Gap Born to Fit cocktail party I hosted last night), here are a few lovely photos from the very talented photographer Ditte Isager...

Pretty in Pink, Vol 2

I have lots of rosy-hued rooms for you to enjoy today... in my opinion the perfect amount of cheeriness for a sunny Monday morning!

Must Have: Assad Mounser Jewelry

Argh, these necklaces from Assad Mounser make me crazy with desire! I love the neutral tones of the pearls and metal accented by pops of fuchsia and orange, particularly in the "Regal Necklace" shown top right. Designed by Amanda Assad Mounser (fyi, don't miss her great fashion blog) and recently featured over at Sea of Shoes, this may just be my new favorite jewelry line! Crossing my fingers that some of these pieces will make their way to a Philadelphia boutique in the not-too-distant future, so I can view all their prettiness in person...

Happy Long Weekend!

The fiance and I are heading to the Jersey Shore for a long weekend, so I am signing off until Monday. Until then, I leave you with this fabulously bright and cheerful breakfast room from Hus & Hem. The leggy table with round floral cloth  and the purple-accented banquette just make me so, so happy!

Have a great one, everyone!

Dreamy Wedding Boards

I don't mean to turn Peacock Feathers into a wedding blog, but there's just so much love in the air right now! My dear friend Ingrid is getting married this fall, therefore we are in full planning mode. Ingrid has fantastic style, and has picked the most lovely colors to compliment her city-garden ceremony and hip restaurant reception. I used her already-selected images to assemble these inspiration boards. Aren't the corals, yellows and soft blues so dreamy?! I cannot wait to see how it all comes to life. No doubt it will be beautiful, which is fitting considering the couple being celebrated...

(p.s. I owe credits for these images.... will be sure to add them next week!)

Must Have: Pat Field Magazine Clutch

These plastic magazine clutches from Patricia Field are the coolest! Sometimes a girl needs a little 80's neon in her wardrobe, and this is the perfect way to do it. I like the idea of carrying one with the simplest black dress and heels. Keep everything else relatively conservative, and the awesomeness of the bag will be magnified! And at $80, they are a relative steal...

Color Collage

There's so much to love in the home of artist Caitlin Wylde. The primary colors, bold ethnic prints, and shots of graphic stripes make for such a vibrant and fun living space...

Artful Styling at J. Crew

I don't believe I've expressed my J.Crew love lately. Well, these looks from their new fall collection are so good, they're making me look forward to the eventual change in seasons. The accessories, color combos and overall styling are beyond fantastic. Don't you love the electric blue satin clutch accenting the pale pinks, greys and golds of the outfit above? That's a great idea that can be worked into a summer wardrobe too... I have a pair of cobalt sandals that will look fab with a khaki sundress and maybe a gold belt. Hmm, maybe I should start digging around in my closet some more...

Bright & Blue

I know, I'm so predictable. I love these turquoise-accented spaces! The striped stairwell is particularly fantastic... so happy and fun.

Wedding Inspiration Board #2 and #3

I'm still pulling together ideas for our wedding next year. These boards focus on my decor, floral and food direction. As you can see, lots of purple and pink and vintage touches! We're still deciding on a venue, but once we do I think these ideas will really start to come together. More to come...

p.s. Have a great weekend, one and all!

Ryan Korban

There's a great interview with up-and-coming interior designer Ryan Korban on Style.com. He talks about designing for small spaces and about taking a fashion approach to interior design, which is so my thing. I can't wait until his website is up so we can see more of his beautiful interiors, like the one pictured above!

Born to Wear Denim

Ok, I admit it, I have never been the most avid denim-wearer. Despite my envy of the ladies that look fantastic in their skinny jeans, I always seem to stick to my girly dresses. I think it's mostly because it's difficult for me to find a pair of jeans that fit great, especially for under $100 (I refuse to pay more!), and that's a bummer because it really does limit my wardrobe choices.

So when I was approached recently to become a "Brand Enthusiast" for one of my favorite brands, Gap, I jumped at the opportunity! Gap is unveiling a new line of premium denim this summer called Born To Fit, and they are eager to get the word out about these completely re-engineered jeans. Available in three women's styles - Always Skinny, Real Straight and Sexy Boot - their new jeans promise to have the great fit and feel of premium denim at very wallet-friendly prices, which sounds pretty great to me. I can't wait to receive my jeans in the mail so I can give my full review! Until then, I'm dreaming of a new wardrobe world for myself, one in which I will be wearing playful and sexy outfits like the ones I've assembled below...

Bosporous blouse, $98, Anthropologie; Flung Facets earrings, $42, Anthropologie; Lanvin tie-back gladiator sandals, $448.23, Barneys.com; Real Straight jeans, $59.50, Gap

Check roll up cowl top, $50, Topshop; lightweight tassle scarf in Purple Muse, $34.50, Gap; Lanvin metallic woven slingback sandal, $381.23, Barneys.com; leather foldover hobo, $158, Gap; Sexy Boot jeans, $59.50, Gap

Vintage mesh clutch, $16.90, Etsy.com; Brick Sequin Tee, $145, Topshop; large shirt cuff in purple python, Kara Ross; Pierre Hardy fishnet sandals, $428.13, Barneys.com; Always Skinny jeans, $69.50, Gap

A note: I feel very lucky that I was chosen to be a Brand Enthusiast for Gap because I am a longtime fan of their aesthetic and commitment to cool clothes at a reasonable price. Still, although I am not being paid to perform this role, I will file Gap-related posts under "sponsored content."

Room Roundup

Just sharing some favorite rooms and vignettes that have been hanging around in my inspiration folder.  I like the touches of pink everywhere! Hope you find something that you like too...
