Pretty Shoe Tuesday

These bamboo-tassel ballet flats are sweet and simple for summer with a splash of nautical flair.

spiked watermelon

To me, watermelon is the quintessential summer fruit (along with peaches). Soaking it in tequila and triple sec makes it sound even more enticing.

brick retreat

This weekend, I'm taking a break and leaving town...

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a little brick conservatory like this in your back yard? To be used as your own personal retreat? A way to take a break without having to go too far from home. I would make it into a crafting studio... with all those windows I'm sure the natural light is glorious.

Pretty Shoe Tuesday

I forgot to post these yesterday (on Tuesday), so here they are now (on Wednesday). I found them on PiperLime and I think they are perfect for dressing up a casual summer outfit. I'm usually not a fan of white shoes, but I like the pop of coral on these.

This is random... but I really love the look of Wedgewood Jasperware.

I admire the couture correspondence of Mr. Boddington's Studio.

How clever is that last calling card?

Laduree

Luscious macaroons from the infamous Laduree. I want one of every flavor.

Pretty Pillows

I love these hand-embroidered pillows from Cat Studio featuring different geographical locations. The collection features different states, regions, cities, parks and countries--each one with a unique design!

There are also glasses, dish towels, aprons, totes and trays that feature the colorful art. Fabulous!
