GAME MANIA

Is anyone's summertime schedule erratic? MIne is! Here is what I'm eyeing this week and here are the deets: 1. Wow, loving this Caitlin Mcgauley wallpaper . Those leopards need a home and would look fabulous in a little dressing or powder room. 2. I'm on the hunt for the perfect pair of black engineer boots for the Fall. Can't you tell? 3. I'm liking the natural serenity of this space. I would add a jute rug to ground the area. I love the one I linked to! 4. I've always adored stars . They seem to be popping up all over the place. 5. Yes, it is my loves....Here is the artist info on where to purchase this great canvas cut out. JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content.

Here's what I have my eye on this week.... 1. The Hampton's Show House Nursery by designer House of Honey 2. These glamorous Emerald Earrings by Tory Burch 3. Someday I'll own a classic Cartier watch that can be passed down to my daughter and then to her daughter etc. etc. 4. Aside from honesty, the ability to laugh easily is a favorite trait in a person. On the dating front I  absolutely need this quality in a guy. ;) 5. I would love to add a Chippendale inspired stair rail to my new home!! (when I find it, that is) 6.  Ever since a fox family inhabited my urban backyard, I've got a penchant for foxes. I'm loving this door knocker from Ivy and Vine .

It's no secret that I LOVE color and a bit of fun bling in my life!! Lately I don't have much time to look through the slew of catalogs that roll into my house but yesterday I did set aside five minutes to fly through the J.Crew catalog. I'm currently loving their jewelry collection. The flower lattice necklace is just too adorable!! I also need a classic link bracelet! The bubble necklaces are well priced and are just a great staple! Oh and btw mother nature granted my wish, it's going to be 93 in Boston tomorrow. I won't make it to the beach but it will be nice to wear a sleeveless top or maybe a sundress .

purchase at Design Darling's boutique  here . inspired by: I will always love to layer bracelets! and you? I also own the bracelet pictured, second from the left I also own the middle bracelet here, I would love to know the source of the grey one!

Happy Friday! Such a great day isn't it? knowing you have the entire weekend ahead of you to kick-back or whoop it up? I discovered a new favorite blog this week.. Walking Around Where the Side Walk Begins , not sure how I missed this one..but she's got fabulous taste and a great eye. It's also where I discovered the amazingly chic jewelry pictured, the talented creator behind this gorgeous handmade jewelry line is Amber Venz . I truly think the chicest women of all aren't afraid to get their hands a bit dirty or their brow a bit sweaty!! When I studied in Milan, I was in awe of all the uber fashionable women on bikes..{in 80+ weather} these images just prove my point! Happy Weekend! images: pretty mommy , The Sartorialist , Walking Around Where the Sidewalk Begins

I'm excited to share some items from my latest sponsor Bly Design. Katherine has vintage finds along with her hand-made jewelry and home collection designs. Aren't these Agate coasters fabulous? I think I need the blue! Be sure to check her site for more! coral cabinet knobs!

{be sure to check out Elva Fields new Spring collection. swoon.} the weather report in Boston is looking grim for the next few days...I'm counting the days till Spring {although it doesn't truly warm up here until May} but at least we're heading in that direction! I find yellow so uplifting, I prefer to use hints of this color rather then swathe an entire room in the hue! I've long admired the Darryl Carter room {image 1} pictured. I have a photo of the entire room someplace, if I find it, I'll post it. The yellow painting was actually the impetus for one I created in my own home. {will post soon}. That fabulous pop of yellow is the perfect backdrop for such a glamorous chandelier! I cannot lie, I'm so loving little girl clothes right now..

I now have girlie, girlie, girlie things on my mind..here are some of my current favorites... Old fashioned femininity mixed with modern accents Tightly clustered pom-poms. These suede pink moccasins..comfy + chic, just what every mommy needs pretty printed blankets and bedding Intricate details..I love this bunny and adorable nest pendant The mix of Red + Pink together images: Philip Gorrivan, Martha Stewart , via Fric and Frac , Vince Camuto , Klippan blanket , Fresh water textiles, Pixie Dust Decor , Magpie Lovely , nest pendant - i'm looking into this, Kate Spade
