Loving...

{David Netto's house via Habitually Chic & Robert Ryman via Sarah Schmerler}

Lisa's excellent interview with David Netto on A Bloomsbury Life... but this part especially:

"I'm big on respect for yourself. Putting a tie on most days at home to write does make me take life more seriously. I don't view that as an inconvenience. I'm inspired by the abstract painter Robert Ryman who gets up every day, puts on a suit, rides the subway to his studio and gets to work painting white squares."

CV's cobalt blue duffel and that striped clutch above... Both officially on my (ongoing) CV wish list. Is it possible to own too many Clare Vivier bags? I think not ;-)

The insane awesomeness that is Lee Borthwick's Mirror Tapestry...

And Yves Klein Blue inspired nail polish from Rescue Beauty Lounge. (Both spotted via Moodboard.)

Aurélie Bidermann’s butterflies on The Coveteur...

This brass owl pencil cup from Minty (which I can't help thinking would be a nice companion for my kangaroo, yes?)...

Loving...

Leanne Shapton's studio in The Paris Review... the perfect embodiment of her work.

The dreamy "foggy mountains" pleated sac from No. 6...

Mariam Sitchinava's beautiful photos... + lovely girlies in flower crowns is one of my all-time favorite things.

A crazy cool plum velvet sofa, oh and do I spy some leopard and mirror action too? And yet, the whole thing feels modern and fresh... not exactly what I expect from my plum velvet and leopard and mirrors.  Who's with me?? (Via the lovely Molly Ruth.)



The incomparable Kate Moss by Corinne Day for Vogue UK December 2000. (Via Bohemia Design.)



Books via The Sphinx & The Milky Way. I want every. single. one.  But I especially want that Helen Frankenthaler tome.

Art in the kitchen. In my estimation, a piece of well-placed art can make even the most humble kitchen feel special and a bit glam... (Via Remodelista.)

Loving...

The stunning Joanna in vintage amidst flowers...


The light at Renilde's place.


Inspiration via the lovely ladies at dullDiamond


Laure's outtakes (But then again I think Laure's loveliness makes the list every week...)






Maryam via Garance...just perfection.


The Shourouk Masai necklace at Beklina.

Loving (On A Thursday)

The lovely Cheryl in her Malia Mills Aquitaine dress...


Jamie's (insanely) beautiful "mess"...



Ashley's immensely dreamy new blog, Comme Ci, Comme Ça...



Gijs Frieling adorned buildings and malachite bracelets via Banquet


Berkeley-based "renegade florist" Louesa Roebuck via Remodelista... I love everything about this. All of it.


More artful Shabd goodness via Lena Corwin...


Perfect brass bangles via Pretty Mommy...

Loving...

Perhaps the most glorious windows of all time. Just, well...wow. (Via What Wilson Wants.)


Beautiful flower crown action (but then again I can never get enough of a good flower crown) via Jennifer.




Jean de Merry -- that bench, those stools. Suffice to say if money were no object...


Celine's subtle take on color block. Just all sorts of buttery leather goodness, yes? (Via A Piece Apart.)


Ilana Kohn's ethereal Hatch print Abby dress. The perfect antidote to Texas' raging summer heat.


This photo from a recent Janus et Cie e-mail. It just makes me smile. It's a happy maker...


Michelle's posts on living according to your values and embracing a creative path. I loved reading these. So, so good...

Loving...

Swedish photographer Jonas Ingerstedt's home, all light and white and natural wood and little pops of color goodness (spotted on Molly Ruth via OEN).


A brass cuff that, if worn, would make me feel like a bit of a bohemian Wonder Woman (also spotted via Molly Ruth, who is very clearly rocking it).




Pretty much every single photograph on Le Dans La. She just has an eye for composition and color (not to mention the ability to make even the humblest of objects beyond beautiful) that I can only dream of.


The new Shabd offerings over on Pretty Mommy but especially that Huipil blouse...sigh.


A coffee maker (and stand) lovely enough to steal my attention away from my beloved Chemex for a bit.


Laure's kitchen... ok she rivals le dans la in turning everyday scenes into works of art.


Baggu's new spring-hued buttery leather offerings. I feel like my groceries would be infinitely happier if I toted them home in that melon goodness, yes?


A slew of lovely sculptural rings spotted via Ashley...

Loving...

These brass bowls by DwellStudio...so insanely, awesomely lovely that they are slowing creeping into "obsession" territory.


Working Girl Designs ethereal Anouk scarf. I'd happily wear this all summer long, but I'd just as happily spread it across the top of the console in our bedroom for a optimal gazing upon.


And speaking of consoles (or benches or whatever), check out this crazy marble goodness. Holy hell.


Morgan Parish's Moors pouches -- the colors, the little horsehair tassels. Oh my...



Every. Single. Page of the latest Madewell catalog, but especially that spread by the Selby of Caroline de Maigret. Just pure, unadulterated awesomeness.


And speaking of Madewell, its big sister J.Crew's Mezzaluna Satchel. I want this bag friends. I do.


The bright spring party from the latest issue of Styled. Love that ombre macrame plant holder on so many levels...
