Terrific Table

I am really excited for my upcoming trip to France. I found this photo and it looks like a quintessential farmhouse in France. The dropped chandeliers, bud vases and fabric along the table have me swooning. And look at those stone floors.

Well done!

Playful Pool House

I am hooked on a new show on Bravo featuring Kathryn Ireland as one of the designers. I absolutely love the pool house she designed here:

I love the incredible incorporation of her many fabrics:

Isn't this look and aren't these fabrics absolutely delicious?? Happy Hump Day!

Wonderful Workspaces

I love little workspaces in a home. They're so charming and artful. Here are a few of my latest faves:

Hope you enjoyed a relaxing and wonderful 4th of July weekend. We certainly did here in Austin despite the lack of fireworks. Have a wonderful short week!!

Right for the Riviera

A month from today I leave for France. While the first 10 days will consist of me working abroad, I will be playing in Provence and the French Riviera for the last week in July.

When traveling in France, it's hard not to be hyper aware of the incredible fashion displayed at all times by the French women. Here are some of my favorites captured by the Sartorialist:

Needless to say, I am feeling the pressure to look extra glam on this vacation. I'm on the hunt for a few final goodies. Keep you posted on what I find :)

Happy Friday!

Pearls Galore

Pearls are glamourous, sexy yet always so classy. That's why I absolutely love these looks:

I love the way the different Rihanna mixed size strands are mixed together to create a very dramatic look! Juxtaposed to her red lips and sleek black suit, she looks dramatic and stunning. Here's another successful example of layering:

This next mixture is beautiful because of the mixture of size pearls but also the black vs white creates a very lovely piece.

And I absolutely love the big beautiful broach incorporated into this necklace. Tres glam!!

A girl can never have too many pearls!! Enjoy and accessorize!!

A Little Ways to Go

Though we have made incredible progress on our home office, I still have a few things I'm keeping me eyes peeled for. Most of these are out of my price range but I'm using them for the concept that I hope to replicate for less:

I'm treating this like a big game to see how cheaply I can get exactly what I want. Here goes nothing...

Heaven

Today, I stumbled across the most gorgeous place on earth: Musha Cay! I was immediately mesmerized by the colors of the water, the white sand and the luxurious accommodations the island boasts. In fact, I have had the window open all morning on my desktop so I can listen to the waves and sounds of the water played on their website (my coworker just told me that she's afraid if I go there, Mr "would become a parrot farmer and I would make jewelry from local beads and she might never see me again" haha! It does look like paradise.)

I mean a sunset like that is tough to beat!

On a whim, I decided to email the island and ask what the prices are. You will laugh when you read the note I received:

Thank you for your interest in Musha Cay. The island is available for your dates.

The island is reserved for one party at a time. The cost for up to 12 guests is $37,500 nightly, and for each guest from 13 to 18 guests it goes up in $1500 increments. From 19 to 24 guests the cost goes up in $1,000 increments.

The island can be rented for 5 nights or more and is a magical getaway, encompassing 11 islands and 40 beaches.

I have attached a factsheet, please let me know if we can provide more information to you, or visit www.mushacay.com for more photos, videos, and information.

Best Regards,

Needless to say, I do not think I will be visiting anytime soon. But a girl can dream...Happy Friday!!
