My New Fav Bag

Toting a fringe bag is so much fun.  Try it; it's as if your bag is dancing as you walk.  You might like the Karma 54 Suede Fringe Bag, or the fringe bag by JJ Winters or Cleobella.  Whichever you choose, a fringe bag is the perfect sidekick to your boho self.

English Staffordshire Spaniels

Lonny

I'm coveting an antique Staffordshire porcelain spaniel; they're quirky and cute and a timeless collectable. The Staffordshire Spaniel was the quintessential Victorian bourgeois status-symbol ornament: no mantelpiece was complete without a pair of spaniels standing guard. The spaniel figurines - always produced in pairs (facing opposite directions), were attributed to royalty favouring the King Charles Spaniel breed.  Staffordshire is a county in the West Midlands of England where spaniel figurines originated and have been produced since the 1700s. ^(Wiki) Antiques and dogs are two of my greatest loves, so a Staffordshire spaniel is a must-have for my home.

The Foo Dog Ate My Homework

Decked Out

unknown source

I'm not exactly sure what possessed me to blog about decorating with skateboards, but here it is.  I suspect I got the notion because of my upcoming trip home to visit my family; more to the point - I'll be seeing my older brother who is a skater-4-life, so I suspect this post was inspired by my homecoming and a deep-seated desire to convince him that even his 'Sex-and-the-City' loving, big city dwelling little sister can be 'super rad'.  All this to say - skateboards can double as artwork and make for pretty decorations.  (Did I just say that?)

Summer Inside Out

Planete Deco

I'm a regular visitor at Planete Deco - a great blog written by Lilly Rose, a 'Parisianer' with big dreams of beautiful (expensive) interiors.  She recently introduced us to this home in Majorca, Spain that is so bright and clearly inspired by the sun - I couldn't resist re-posting it here.  Infused with light, natural textures and pops of bright earthy colours like green and yellow, this home is summer to the core.
