interior envy

Living in NYC has made me acutely aware of space, and I'm always intrigued to see how other people use the space in their apartments. Caitlin Flemming's San Francisco studio apartment (that she shares with her husband) is one of my favorite small spaces I've seen in a long time. I'm so impressed with how unified and uncluttered the space is, while still feeling relaxed and inviting.

I can't get over how stunning this Melbourne home is - it's so airy and light - I want to move right in!

rebecca atwood

I had the chance to meet the lovely Rebecca Atwood last year and she shared with me that she was starting to design her own line of textiles. I was very eager to see what she would dream up and now that her shop has officially launched, it's more beautiful than I imagined! It's a gorgeous collection of limited-edition hand-dyed and hand-painted pillows and artwork that you simply must check out! I'm particularly smitten with her paintings that come framed in pretty vintage frames.

For those of you who have been anxiously awaiting a peek into my apartment, I'm sharing my workspace on Kelsey's blog - be sure to check it out :)

happy weekend

Sorry for the radio silence around here this week! I've been nursing a foot injury and have to get surgery on Monday - I've never had any kind of surgery (or even broken a bone!) so I'm slightly terrified, but I've been assured I'll be fine :) I hope you are all having better weeks! I'll be spending my weekend catching up on all that I've missed in the blog world this week and watching lots of movies - let me know if you have any recommendations!

Jo Malone's new London headquarters debuted in the March issue of Lonny and I can't get over how stunning they are. I love the traditional architecture mixed with more simplistic pieces of furniture and decor. I wouldn't mind working here everyday!

+ hoping to check out the new Ed Ruscha Books & Co. exhibit

+ one of my first spring purchases

springtime blues

I am loving everything blue for spring - I simply can't get enough of it! I'm also really into the idea of mixing printed pieces in this colorway a la Laura Bailey.

anchor ceramics

I stumbled across Anchor Ceramics by way of Lucy and fell in love with the simplicity of Bruce Rowe's pieces and his story. An architect by day, he spent years creating drawings and was inspired to turn them into ceramic tiles. Now, he makes dishware, tiles, and potter lamps (which I am obsessed with), all while continuing his job as an architect - super inspiring! Check out the full interview with Bruce here.

What says spring more than dainty florals and polka dots?

emerson fry spring 2013

 
I've been a longtime fan of Emerson Fry (previously Emersonmade) so I was very excited for her spring 2013 collection to finally launch after seeing sneak peeks of it. (I was also extra excited because I had a birthday gift card ready to spend!) I ended up scooping up the black mod top, which was a favorite from last season that was brought back again. This was my first purchase from her and I can't wait to receive it! And of course, I still have my eye on a few other pieces including the black shirt dress, vintage high rise jeans, black leather sandals, and that great white tshirt that has yet to launch. Be sure to act quickly though; her pieces sell out really fast!

desk envy

I had zero room in my old apartment for a desk, so I'm thrilled to finally have one in our new apartment. I have the West Elm Parsons desk - a very clean slate to start from. I'm starting to put together my workspace and have been gathering inspiration of other creative's workspaces. One thing I know I'll be having is an inspiration wall - either in mixed frames or hung haphazardly. I'm on the hunt for some vintage frames and have been creating some simple artwork to hang. Now if only I could afford my dream desk lamp...

This weekend I went to the Guggenheim and fell in love with the graphic black + white pieces by Zarina. So naturally I couldn't resist a round-up of some great black + white goods, with a touch of natural elements. I love all of these, but I'm particularly smitten with that adorable whale box and the timeless striped tee dress.
