spring frocks

Two very darling spring (or summer) dresses from you know who. I'm really, really wanting that white one.

spring centerpiece

This bright, colorful table-scape from Once Wed is perfect. I just love the old oyster can they used to pile the flowers in.

$14.99 Galvanized steel Shelf

Leave it to Ikea to craft a great, versatile basic for less $15. I can see a pair of these galvanized shelves lined side by side in a studio apartment, kitchen or garden shed. I love finding pieces that I can use now and keep using as I move on through different stages in my life - especially when three of them would cost less than my monthly internet connection!

smallable

Have you heard of Smallable? They stock some of the cutest lines for kids, like Makie and Le Petit Lucas.

Jennifer Koehler's 200 sq ft apartment

My lease is up June 1st and I'm looking for a new place in downtown Winter Park. I keep coming back to this apartment from an old issue of Domino for inspiration, not because of the brown lattice sheets, but because of Jennifer's ability to make it look her own despite all the 'standardness' (i.e. white walls, formica kitchen counters). This time around, I want something small, with character, design flexibility and a super efficient floor plan. I want it to feel my own even though it will be a rented space - something I haven't had at the places I've been for the past couple of years.

backstage: erdem s/s 2011

Erdem's super sweet, ballet inspired 2011 s/s collection is full of floral and lace. I'm especially loving the dresses in the top left corner and all those Swedish braids! See the runway shots, here.
