I can go to Anna’s site and get lost in her sexy, too cool for school, badass, retro with a twist of vintage images. Anna is a fashion, portrait, and lifestyle photographer in whose dreamy world I could surely get lost. She recently emailed to update me on some of her new work. Alison Pill for The Lab Magazine, new fashion stories for SOMA and Clone Magazine, and portraits for the YSL Parisienne launch. Ummm. Yes, please. Here’s some candy. Delish.

Who doesn’t love the idea of a country house? It’s the best of both worlds. You can live in the City and then escape to solitude on the weekend. Elle Decor has given us a big dose of lovely with this country home in Northwestern CT. It is an artful, beautiful, sublime mix of modern and country. The contrast is subtle, yet defined. Refined, yet dynamic. Whispering, not yelling boldly.

You might be akin to my love of Derian, but I recently received a pretty little gift from Kaas Glassworks. Located in the West Village, the decoupage plates are simply lovely. The artist at Kaas trained with Derain, so the pieces are similarly lovely and eclectic. They would make perfect gifts for your bridesmaids. And, they can also create a personalized plate from your wedding invitation, or any token momento. Love that idea of a sweet piece from your wedding. Definitely check out this adorable shop to get your decoupage on.

So, I was flipping thru the channels the other day and came across a terrible movie, with the most amazing design. The dilemma: continue to watch JLo and her terrible acting skills at the expense of seeing the interior and exterior shots of this gorgeous home?  Yes, I made the sacrifice. After some research, I found out that this home was actually California craftsman architectural royalty. It was love at first sight. The Ross Hose, located in Pasadena, CA., is home to many of the classic California craftsman homes. The interior is actually a movie set and well done to the designers. The bathroom: I die for the tile! The vintage subway poster: although now a little tired, circa 2005 is arguably hip. I digress to share some lovely images. Still in love? Here’s some interesting background about the Ross House.

Sor for the lack of blogging.  We are off planning weddings! But…enjoy the pretty pictures! xx

As you may have noticed, today’s Daily Inspiration is VERY vintage Vegas. Adore. Check these images from the incredible Giuliano Bekor. This shoot was inspired by all things representative of Vegas-past. Elaborate costumes. Gorgeous dancers. Shot in black and white. Perfection.

Whilst shopping in the picturesque town of Chester, CT this weekend, I stumbled upon these two adorable ideas. Pick #1: For displaying your cupcakes, Hello Hanna has created these lovelies to display your yummies. The Sweet Stands are created from recycled paper and are too cute. Pick #2: London-based comfort-food goodies hub, Hummingbird Bakery, had created these scrumptious postcards. Each card has a lovely photo of their tasty treats, with recipes on the back of the card. So, now you can re-create this delicious goodness. Brills.

You know the age-old adage. Location is always THE factor for any event. Lately, we have been receiving a ton of emails announcing new venues, reintroducing old ones, and every service in-between. But, these two location scouting services caught our eye. Want a rustic French cottage situated in the the hills of a remote village? Done. Or, what about Moroccan escape? Yep. In need of a beach house, lake house, or any kind of house you can images? Enter L.A. based Image Locations and Luxe Home Swap. Both are on-line catalogues of the most chic homes, apartments, and spaces you’ve seen. You can get lost on both sites for hours. We were imagining where we could plan our next event and then how soon we can move-in afterwards. Or, you can totally use these endless images as inspiration for your next redesign.
