HIATUS = OVER

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Maggie

so it’s been a very long time since i’ve kept up with my blog. and i have really missed it. but now i’m back.

this past year has been nonstop pandemonium. between a full time job, a part time job, planning our wedding, planning other people’s weddings, buying a house, moving twice, writing a weekly column for design for mankind, a secret project, and traveling to the philippines and thailand for our honeymoon, there has just been no time. something had to be cut, and unfortunately it was my blog. although i am still crazy busy, i’m going to start making more time for it. this blog may not be hugely popular by any means, but i love it and i miss it and i can’t wait to get started again. so yay!

INSPIRED BY: LINDA BERGROTH

Posted on July 11, 2012 by Maggie

some of you may have seen some of these images floating around the blogosphere lately, but i couldn’t resist showcasing them on my blog as well. linda bergroth is an interior designer based out of paris and helsinki, and i seriously want her to be my new best friend. actually, i would even be her free intern if i could work with her for a little bit. although every angle of this apartment she designed is completely amazing, i saved my favorite image for last. i literally cannot stop thinking about that painting, and i am dying because i can’t find out who painted it. if anyone can tell me, i will pay you one million dollars. but i digress. please enjoy this gorgeous apartment, and may we all embrace european design.

today i came across this gorgeous home on the french island of île de rè. what a fantastic marriage of contemporary and antique pieces, mixed in with great artwork, strong accent colors, and plenty of white. that living room just sings to me.

MARCHESA RESORT 2013

Posted on June 28, 2012 by Maggie

the new resort collection by marchesa is seriously, seriously gorgeous. georgina chapman and keren craig sure are fashion geniuses, don’t you agree? a great color palette paired with art deco touches and feminine silhouettes is a win-win-win.

VALENTINO RESORT 2013

Posted on June 21, 2012 by Maggie

wow, it kind of makes me a little sick to my stomach when i realize how long it’s been since i’ve had a new post. needless to say, things have been extremely busy (per usual), on top of our internet being out and being sick. but i digress.

you may or may not have seen some of the beautiful looks from the valentino resort 2013 collection floating around various fashion blogs and pinterest. and although this may be old news at this point, it is still absolutely breathtaking. top to bottom, i think this is one of the best collections i have ever seen. narrowing down my favorite looks for this post was pretty dang hard. i surely hope the lace and floral trends are here to stay!
