A Darling Life

Inspiration..It creeps up on us when we least expect it. For me, I get the majority of my inspiration from wonderful getaways. My favorites so far have been a trip to Hawaii, the British Virgin Islands and Paris.  I love walking into new places, whether it be a gorgeous hotel, a beautiful beach or just a lovely flea market. I also love being inspired by talented designers like Proenza Schouler and Rodarte. Lately, I find myself being drawn towards very feminine colors and textures. I love anything that is romantic and sheer, or organic and floral. Today, I was inspired by the wonderful work of Victor and Rolf. There lingerie-inspired Spring/Summer 2010 Shoe Collection is so pretty and feminine! Oh how fun it is to be a girl :)

In keeping with the feminine theme, I wanted to share with you, the new Home Collection from H and M. The light pinks, florals and soft whites are so summery and pretty. It seems that the Home Collection is only available in certain European Countries BUT the good news is that these images are sure to keep you all inspired!!

Forever is Spring

I'm so excited for Spring to arrive! 

Now that we've had daylight savings, it really feels like any day now, the snow will melt, our coats will come off and the sun will be here to stay. I can't wait to just sit outside at an outdoor cafe or be able to go on long walks after dinner. What I'm  really most excited for is having my iced vanilla latte without freezing my fingers off!

If you're thinking of ways to lighten up your rooms for this Spring, here are some inspirational photos to look at. A good way to change your "look" from season to season is to accessorize. Look for pillows, mirrors and frames that can warm up any room.

Whether you want to be glamourous, minimal or eccentric in your decorating, always remember to go for what looks right to you. If you love it then buy it! Mixing and matching is a great way to have some fun while also showing a little bit of your personality. Be bold. Dont be afraid to use colour- its your friend, I promise!

I'm in the process of  re-designing my bedroom...This time, I'm going for a fresh feel with lots of whites. I've been waiting many weeks for my drapes to arrive and they're finally coming tomorrow! My designer picked out the gorgeous fabrics and I can't wait to post photos!
