late summer sun + stunning details

As the summer winds down the light of the afternoon sun seems to cast a little bit softer light and the rays feels all the more sweet. These images capture that perfectly and it creates such a lovely backdrop to the unique and decorative chandelier of this attic space and the exquisite cutout detail of the Roberto Cavalli's dress.

home crush {thoughtful design}

I think that there is a lot to be said about over thinking interior design to the point where it can cause a home to look staged and unlivable. I think the details and care that went into this home are thoughtful but not over thought--truly an exquisite example of well used materials, scale, symmetry, and color.

all tied up with a bow!

I just got home from a very festive and quite fun Christmas party and when trying to decide what to wear I was very much wishing I had one of these lovely bow adorned pieces. They are all the perfect blend of feminine and festive.

wrapped in rope

I really love how rope inspired details can create both Grecian and nautical looks, both of which are perfect for the summer months.

I didn't quite have time to get in a cheap(er) chic post in this week but I did try to include some affordable options in this round-up (only two items are over $200!)

couldn't resist!

As much as I love white interiors and think they create a wonderfully soothing environment I just couldn't leave a day of posts without a little pop of color. Can you tell that this is constant struggle for me? So, I looked to my absolute favorite interior accent color to do the job!

Also, I have some exciting news (well, at least I am excited)! I just decided that I am going home at the end of April for a charity showhouse event. Which is exciting in itself but more so because one of my favorite designers, Kara Mann, is adding her touch to the showhouse (which she will be leading tours of). Oh, and the icing on the cake is that there will be a presentation from the one and only Charlotte Moss!
