proud mary

I ran across this shop called Proud Mary via Design Sponge this week. I heart these pillows! I especially love the pom details. These vibrant pillows would be incredible thrown on a big comfy white couch. I love the bag as well. And the photography is beautiful. Adorable.

backyard essentials + the spring sun

One day I dream of having a yard to entertain, hang out and play in (preferably in a warm climate). I love our “vintage wonderful” place now, but we’re starting to feel a bit cramped. I love to day dream about 1. entertaining outdoors and 2. what that outdoor space would look like. I ran across this image on Lonny Mag and instantly fell in love. It’s the perfect mix of design and comfort. I am IN LOVE with the striped canopy most of all (oh, and the pool!)! I also love the colors they are perfectly unstuffy, this feels like an outdoor entertaining space you can really live in and use. I love it! I added some fun essentials of my own above….Oh summer you can’t come soon enough!

Outdoor space via Lonny Mag, summer lantern and lamp oil from Terrain, gray dress from JCrew, wine tumber (just like we had in France!) from Crate and Barrel, wine fromĀ Trader Joes (no we’re none too picky!), melamine ikat plates from Wisteria, ribbon sandals from Asos, serving spoons from Anthropologie

Tea for Two

My best friend just had a birthday, okay it was a few weeks ago I am just prolonging the celebration…She’s pregnant (i.e. I am putting together a relaxation gift, but shhh…I can’t tell you what else it entails as it hasn’t made it’s way to the mail yet and she reads this blog…) and has everything, so with her, I am normally a gift card giver, but not this year! I stumbled upon this beautifully packaged raspberry herbal tea in the Asian market awhile back. I immediately fell in love! Not only does this tea smell incredible (I can smell it through the tin and the Raspberry is AMAZING) but the tin is so lovely. What a perfect and useful gift! I would just use it for a pen cup or an odds and ends catch all once the tea is gone. If you have read this blog for any time you know I am a sucker for beautiful packaging. I could just imagine this tin translating into an adorable wedding invitation as well…This was just too pretty not to share, here’s to good package design!
