Loving Lately // The Colors of Summer

June 7, 2013

 Man, you guys, what a week. I feel like they're just flying by lately! We have waaaay too much to do around here for that to continue! This was a good one, though. I've gotten to catch up with several friends in the past couple of weeks (after virtual hermit behavior for months). It's amazing what that does for a person. If there's someone you haven't seen in awhile, call them! It's good for the heart.

In the spirit of fun with friends, just a few items I'm loving lately:



Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend in store! ox

Want in Every Color // 06

Every year about this time, I fall victim to the Anthro dinnerware trap. Their patterns are just so. darn. beautiful. Perfectly playful, summery and total showstoppers.


Then there's this loverly little assortment of app/dessert plates.


Aaaaand then there's always the linens.

 Sun Dots napkin // Sun Stripes napkin // Ikat napkin // Smoke Dahlia napkin (gorgeous color assortment!)

Just you stop it, Anthro.

Am I the only one that can't go into that store for risk of blowing an entire paycheck...or ten?

I still remember the very first day one of my co-workers introduced me to My Favorite and My Best. I was hooked immediately. There was tons of decor porn, some spot on moodboards, much hilarity, and promises of dairy free eating equaling less cellulite. I think my first comment was something like "can we please be best friends???"

Fast forward several years and now the girl is blowing up the art scene. Well, my art scene at least. And now everyone's if you read a little known shelter mag called House Beautiful (check the June editor's letter). I was lucky enough to snag one of her first paintings (still need to frame it. major fail) and I swear she just keeps getting better and better. Her palettes are always nails. Color selection is truly a skill and she has it.


Jenny Instagrammed one of her latest paintings last night (it was snagged immediately) and suggested it would be perfect for a nursery. I agree. I love the idea of a super neutral space with the barely gray walls (or a super pale pink if decorating for a little miss) and a crazy soft white shag rug so her work is center stage.


You can see all of Jenny's work here. If you see one you love but it's sold, she takes commissions!
