Good afternoon! I hope you all had a very lovely winter weekend. I am starting the week off with photographs/artwork featuring my favorite color combination: red & black. It's very much a classic duo, one I don't think I will ever get sick of seeing...

interior inspiration : cutesy retro.
This has always been one of my favorite interior styles- lots of pretty vintage items, a bit of fifties and sixties kitsch, candy-like colors, and cute feminine touches. It's definitely a look I usually go for in my home.

and i'm back.
From Alt Design Summit, that is. As I mentioned, it was a truly marvelous experience, and I cannot wait until next year. The above photograph is from the oh-so fabulous Kate Spade suite party, where the lovely Megan of not martha posed with me in Angela + Ithyle's photobooth. So much fun, I tell you.
I hope you all enjoyed the weekend- now onto the week!

ten images of inspiration : the ladies of alt.
I know that it's been a silent week on here. I have been completely consumed with Alt Design Summit, which has proven to be one of the most inspiring events I have attended. All the bloggers, industry folks, and sponsors have been so genuinely kind and knowledgeable. I feel like I have learned quite a lot and have made quite a few new friends. So, to end the week, I'd like to share some original photographs, projects, and creations from ten of this year's speakers. Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you Monday!
