More Anna Spiro

Like I said in an earlier post, after seeing the inside of Anna Spiro’s home on Coco+Kelly, I had to see more. Well, here it is… straight from Anna’s blog!

I love the trellis design above. As you might see in the coming days, I went a little crazy with it in my own room before I even realized!

Amazing Interior Style

Here are picture’s from Vogue Living Australia of Anna Spiro's home via Coco+Kelly. This style is so right on with what I love that I had to share these pictures right away. My only complaint is that I want to see more!

What do you think?

As Summer Fades into Fall…

I’ve been hiding out here:

While I’m somewhere where it seems like summer will never end, the fall catalogs and look books are not waiting for the leaves to change:

Turquoise Room Inspirations

The most recent post at Hidden in France almost made me squeal out loud here at my desk. The blog that Corine pointed out, House of Turqouise, is completely decorated to... you guessed it - the color turquoise! Here are a few images that I'm saving for my own personal inspiration as I piece together a room with a color scheme inspired by a dresser that I painted a beautiful color somewhere between turqoise and aqua.

After looking at these pictures and the rest in my folder of inspiration for the room, I've realized there are a few things that I gravitate towards:

• turquoise
• chandeliers
• a light, airy feeling that isn't bare or sparse
• gold accents
• ornate details mixed with some modern elements
• geometric patterns like greek key, lattice, stripes, and quatrefoils
• travel inspired details like maps, globes, and souvenirs

Are there any certain things that immediately draw you to a room or picture?

Summer Steals

If this Liz Claiborne dress didn't look so eerily similar to the ruffle-front Ann Taylor shirt-dress I'm wearing today, I would snap it up in a jiffy. Alas, I'm passing on this $20.99 treasure to you guys.

And for $20.99... you've got a little left over to pick up a few other steals from the sale! Like these bangles for $9.99, or the peony-print cardigan for $29.99.

And finally, if you're in need of cardigans (who can't use another cardigan?!), there are crewneck and belted ones in tons of different colors for just $14.99 and $19.99 a pop.
