Headboard Envy

*Not sure if that post title reads right, ha!*

So, one of my good friends just did a complete bedroom makeover after a bad break up with her live-in boyfriend of 6 years and let me just tell you, it is gorgeous! Disclaimer: she gave me the a-okay to write about her on here. I'm a good friend, promise! Let me just say, she went from living in an Abercrombie & Fitch-meets-rustic deer hunting lodge apartment (can you say so-not-even-close-to-chic) to creating her own, everyday glamorous palace! You go girl! Anyway, after seeing her new place and bedroom, I must admit, I am completely having headboard envy. I don't have a picture of hers (didn't want to whip out the camera during girl talk) but I found some other really fabulous headboards that I wouldn't mind putting in my own bedroom!

Love.

P.S. Thanks to Kelley at My Island Wedding for the Bellini! Head over there to check out the yummy recipe :)

(K)olorful Kitchens

The sun is finally out in LA (after a few not-so-cheery weeks of June Gloom) and I am loving every minute of it! So, what goes better with a bright sunny day than a gorgeous set of (k)olorful kitchens? I think nothing!

I don't know if I could be so bold as to design my kitchen with such bright colors, but I am really loving all of the vibrancy these colors bring to each space!

Do you have any colorful furniture pieces, appliances, or art in your kitchen? I'd love to hear :)

It's Khaki Wishes and Cookie Dreams

*It's time for name that post title! Ha! I know some of you out there are true TBH fans- best.movie.ever!*

Lately I've been addicted to everything within the beige/khaki/cream hues. I bought a few beige dresses last month for some events and now I am addicted. From tops to dresses, photos to home decor pieces- I definitely can't get beige off my mind! Here are a few of my current favorite pieces, matched with some lovely fashion photos.

P.S. My lovely friend over at The Beauty File let me in on a little secret: Saks 5th Ave. is currently having a 60% OFF shoe sale! I went over to the site as soon as I heard the news- great deals my loves! So first, head over to The Beauty File for your daily dose of delightful things, and then take a peek at the sale!

Boutique Bathroom

I think I'm in love...in love with free standing bathtubs! Can you imagine getting ready for your day in one of these gorgeous spaces? I think I'd probably move my entire house into my bathroom and just live in there!

I have to admit- I never knew pink bathtubs were available for purchase! Hmm...rethinking my savings plan now!

Monday Motivation + {100th Post)

Hello my lovely's. Hope you had a restful and relaxing weekend! I've been working on creating a new design myself for Brunch at Saks for a while now, and since this is my first little milestone, I thought I would debut the look today. So, ta-da...here it is. I've been so nervous/anxious/excited to show you- please feel free to leave me feedback, good or bad! If anyone is looking to change up their own blog a little, feel free to email me- I'd love to work with you!

A little motivation for the week ahead:

Happy Weekend

We made it through another week! Hope you have a chance to relax this weekend and can spend time with your loves, family, friends, pets, and anything else your heart desires! Here is what I'll be up to:

A little photo-lovin': All pics by my favorite/ the best photographer, Max Wanger.

Finishing a mag stack that is piled high next to my bed and catching up on all of your blogs that I missed during the week.

Giving the heels a break and wearing flats everywhere!

Hoping for a beach day.

Attempting to cook some new recipes for dinner. Have any summer dishes that you care to share?! I'm desperate for some new ideas!

Finishing up my small patio garden since the LA forecast says sunny! (This pic does not correlate well, but I just loved it)

I'm so excited for Monday! It will be my 100th post (I know this is minuscule compared to most of your amazing blogs) and I can't wait to share something with you!

Ok, any plans for this weekend? I'd love to hear! XO

Meticulously Crafted Ceilings

I was flipping through some home mags last night and I noticed one thing they all have in common: creative ceilings! I love that architects and builders alike pay attention to detail above, because I honestly think the ceilings in a home can change its entire feel. We have medium height ceilings right now, but my dream is to one day have extremely high ceilings so we can fit a Macys-sized Christmas tree right in the middle!

So with creative ceilings in mind, I found the portfolio of charming photographer, Eric Roth. I love the way Roth captures the essence of these meticulously crafted ceilings. Beautiful.

Oh to dream :)
