Rain Boots

I LOVE rain boots! The more colorful, the better. And now that the NYC snow has started to melt, and the sidewalks have turned to piles of dirty slushy mush, I have been wearing my rain boots on a nearly daily basis. There is just something about seeing a pair of brightly colored boots on a gross gray day that somehow seems to make it all better! So hopefully this roundup of colorful boots (all via Flickr) will be enough to bring a little sunshine into your day!

Paper Garlands

Recently I've been totally crushing on paper garlands. I'm not really sure why, and I'm not really sure what I'd actually do with one. However, with all that said and done, I'm pretty sure at some point in the near future I'll find myself sitting at my sewing machine, with a stack of paper scraps, whipping one up! There is something so whimsical and delicate about them... and they are just so beautiful in their simplicity.

I'm Dreaming Of Muffins

I'm seriously craving muffins right now! I'm not quite sure why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that I've been a total slacker in the breakfast department recently, and this is SO NOT good. So I hit up the grocery store today, made sure to stock up on a couple key ingredients (butter, flour, sugar), and now I'm ready to bake up a storm, and fulfill my muffin dreams! I'll leave you with these lovely images, and perhaps it will spark some muffin obsessions of your own!

Chandelier Roundup

I'm a bit of a daydreamer, kind of girly, a hopeless romantic, and drawn to things that sparkle. What design element fits in perfectly with all of these things? Why the chandelier of course! Chandeliers are elegant and glamorous, and they come in so many shapes, styles, and colors that there is one out there for everyone, no matter what your budget! However, for this post I didn't want to just roundup a collection of purchasable chandeliers. I wanted something a bit more interesting and personal. So instead I hopped on over to Flickr, to check out people's real life pictures. There I sought out some of the most inspiring and gorgeous chandeliers that I could find. To me chandeliers are not just about looking pretty, they are also about evoking a special feeling or emotion, and I think that the pictures I found do just that. These are the chandeliers that fairy tales are made of!
