Jamaican Me Crazy

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

While I am delighted to be gallivanting off to Paris on Thursday, I am a wee bit craving some vitamin D courtesy of the sun and not just from my Whole Foods supplements. When I saw the images of Emily’s trip to Jamaica’s Goldeneye I let out an audible groan of pleasure.  I simple adore the laid back vibe this place has- not to mention the crystal blue waters and breezy rooms.  Owned by famed music producer Chris Blackwell, this little piece of heaven used to be owned by Ian Flemming- of James Bond fame. Makes it just that much cooler….or is that hotter?

(p.s. love the batik trimmed towels and bedding by Royal Hut)

Paris on the Brain

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Remember that Grange Furniture contest I won? Well that prize was a trip to Paris and I leave next week for it! I can;t believe I’m headed back there and get to show my Dad around Paris for his first time ever! I’ve been so busy that I have not had much time to think about it, but beginning yesterday my brain started floating towards all things en francais. French style always inspires me, and the images from L’Hotel Particulier have haunted me for months (chock out the site).  Located in Provence, it’s style is so amazing and simple, traditional yet modern and totally ME!

But back to the City of Light- I really love the images I found by Etsy photographer Vita Nostra. Fantastic scenes from various parts of Paris.

As I panic about what to pack (it’s going to be cold!) I put together two outfits I wish i could bring with me!

For daytime walking (which I did about 8 hours of daily the last time I was in Paris…)

What the Inside of My Brain Looks Like

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Tomorrow evening I leave for London!  I hope my wi-fi situation will be wonderful there and I can blog images from my trip live for you!  But today as I try to wrap up some projects and get myself in packing mode, all I can think about is which cute room I’ll be staying in at Blake’s and what adventures Andrew and I will have in a city we’ve both never explored before! And now Paris in January too! I am overklempt!

Anywhoo, this is kind of what my brain is filled with….
