white & gold metallic cowhide

I noticed that Kristin Hutchin loves to use that white and gold metallic cowhide rug. She has even upholstered a few items in it. That sure must have been a fancy cow back in the day. I love the top 2 photos with the pink & gold combo. Can you tell that Kristen has been the senior designer for both Ruthie Sommers & Kelly Wearstler?

pink does not stink

The above comes from Timothy Whealon's weekend home & I think the man has skills. I am SO happy to have an Elle Decor subscription. I really loved all of the spreads in this months issue.

Shop With Me: Everything's Coming up Roses...

When I walked out of my apartment this morning, I was thrilled to be greeted with mild temperatures and the faint smell of fresh-cut grass. It reminded me of early spring, when most of the landscape is still muddy brown, there's frost on the ground at sunrise, and the very first pink and red flower buds begin to pop open. With that inspiration in mind, I decided to do a little digging to find some pretty, little items that would remind me of that feeling all year long -- delicate, feminine florals, vintage-inspired frocks, pale and shimmering neutrals and of course, roses everwhere.
