Summer Is For The Birds!

Summer is for the birds! I am and always will be bird brained. I love birds, all kinds.  I am especially enamored with the pretty tropical Parrot this Summer! Now I am not saying that you have to do a room based on this tropical beauty, but it would be fun to have a little touch of Polly to bring in that Summer/Tropical feel. I found some fun Parrot motif that could add a little tropical flare to any space!

Is Something Bugging You?

Bugs are everywhere this time of year, and I do mean everywhere! Not only are they invading our homes and gardens but they are invading our wardrobes and interiors as well. Personally insects dont bug me. Yes, I said it! I grew up a bit of a "wild child" and I still try to avoid killing bugs if I can help it. Instead I just place them outdoors. The only poor critters that meet their demise by my hands are ticks, sorry guys but you I cannot stand! I am intrigued by this year's Spring Fashion invasion of bug Couture. I don't think I would ever wear it but it's sure fun to look at and even gorgeous in some cases as you will see in the Jean Paul Gaultier Collection.  I also like seeing a bit of bug in the form of art and sculpture placed in interior spaces. Here are some of my fab finds and remember be kind to butterflies and bees they keep the gardens going! Have a great weekend.


Below is the fabulous collection by Azede Jean - Pierre!

I just love the cutout art by Rebecca J Coles, its gorgeous and by the look of it they sell immediately to one may have to get inline for one of these beauties!

Fashion And Interiors Collide - Oscar de la Renta!

What can I say about Oscar de la Renta except that he is a fashion icon! He also is now fastly becoming an interior icon as well. At a Miles Redd meeting, Miles expressed his appreciation and respect for Oscar's style and taste and had worked closely with him on projects. In fact he was Oscar's creative director for 10 years. We can see the parallel of timeless interior style that both gentleman have. I loved Oscars first round for Lee Jofa but Oscar de la Renta II is even better if that is at all possible. I fell in love with the deep green and blue combinations and hope that I may soon find a client to let me use these in a space! Here is my inspiration dress and fabrics and for more fabulous textiles check out Lee Jofa!
