Weekend Picture Book

Weekending

Hi loves! What are your plans his weekend? I picked up the Mr. from the airport last night. It's the second time I've seen him in two months. I'm over the moon. We woke up very slowly to delightfully crispy Autumn weather then made one of those breakfasts that waft through the house and subsequently make you want to laze about for the better part of the day.  Tonight we're off to celebrate a dear friend's nuptials. Weekends full of loved ones and joyous celebrations make my heart full :)

750 SQ. FT. FAB.

I've been a long time fan of Elizabeth Bauer. If I could have one designer come in to decorate the NYC digs, it would be her! I spotted this space she did for InStyle's publisher, Connie Anne Phillips, and melted away into la la land.

The studio is just 750 square feet, but she managed to jam pack it with insane amounts of style. It's completely 100% representative of what I've been going for while decorating the new place-- a bit of chinoiserie and French frou frou! Tell me, darlings. If you could have one interior designer by your side, (money ain't a thang!), who would it be?

Hi Darlings! What did you do this weekend? I've spent it working at High Point market and honestly feel a bit burnt out between Society Social and another new company launch. I'm exhausted, and I've seen the Mr. a total of two days in two months. Tough. And not to mention crazy, right?! Did y'all get to spend time with loved ones? I'd love to hear about it! Can't say I won't be a little jealous ;)

Me Love You Long Time

Life's Little Jems- In honor of breast cancer awareness month! The Society Social Tipple Trolley.

The Madison Mixer Bar Cart and Tipple Trolley at Luella and June for cocktail hour

As a small business owner who has spent (smashed the piggy bank into smithereens) all of her money on start-up costs, I cannot express the gratitude I feel for the support of the blogging and design community.  Me. Love. You. Lonnng. Time. 

Lavender. Bear with Me.

Lavender. A total sleeper color for me when it comes to interiors. I think I have a fear of a room that looks like an easter egg exploded on it. My first encounter with pale lavender walls was at the Society Social shoot in the most gorgeous early 1920's manse. See my Madison Mixer bar cart below...

So ridic, right? This might be my favorite shot of the entire group. I surprised myself by falling in love with those subtle, barely lavender walls the millisecond I walked in. Annd that painting, the styling. Design. High. Up next, Liz Caan's design studio...

...is it La Maison Goyard-like wallpaper that's reeling me in? (One day I shall splurge on a tote!) Or do I really love lavender? And one can't deny that this space is tdf. What do you think, darlings? Lavender love or lavender loathe?

Are you new to my Millinery Marvelous posts? I'm dying for hats to make a real come back. They used to be much more a part of daily ready-to-wear than they are now. Maybe I just have a thing for revivals?
