favorite find of the week 10.12

I am simply head over heels in love with Phillip Jeffries new collection of wallcovering! It combines a few of my favorite things...natural ground (linen, grasscloth), bold prints, fabulous colors!

There's a trellis print, a little chinois, a "China Seas"-esque print, just so much goodness!

dreaming of fall fashion

With fall in full swing and cooler temperatures, it has me drooling over leather boots, sweaters, and scarves. Oh, wait never mind, I live in Florida and am still sweating when I make the 1 minute walk to my car and wouldn't dare swap my flip flops for boots unless I wanted to have a complete heat stroke! I think all the other Floridians can agree...this is the time of the year when we are over the Sunshine State. Give us changing leaves and temperatures cool enough to want to be outside for more than 5 minutes!

Until then, here is some fashion inspiration to look forward to when the temperatures finally do drop!

PS...can you tell I have a leopard obsession?

impulse buy

 I just made a complete impulse buy just now for my daughter's room. Don't think I will regret this one!

Aren't these the cutest prints ever?!?! Perfect for my budding fashionista!

nursery inspiration

Here's a quick look at my color inspiration for the nursery! Since we are having a boy and a girl, I had to keep it unisex. My love affair with navy continues into their room where I paired it with green. I will post more pics as it comes along!

kicking it into gear

With my due date set for January, I am trying to get as much done as possible on my decorating to do list before the barrage of holidays. I have been wanting to get window treatments up in my daughter's room since we moved in last November, and as usual, designers don't ever get to their own projects! But, I finally got moving and ordered fabric for new window valances and a throw pillow in her room.

Here's a link to my previous post about her room... changin-it-up

It is in a navy and hot pink color scheme, which I absolutely love! But, it is definitely lacking!

I preach to my clients all the time how window treatments can really change it a room and completely finish it off. So, I am taking my own advice! She has three windows in her room and I decided to do a faux roman shade in a fun navy and white geometric with a wide fabric border down the sides and bottom. I also had a pink greek key trim I was dying to use so I am going to have a little bolster pillow made for her bed with the trim along the ends.

 I am so excited to see this room come together!!! I will definitely post pics once it's all complete!

missing in action

July?! Has that really been the last time I blogged? Yikes!

I feel so out of the loop in the blogosphere and I look forward to catching up! I have a perfectly good excuse for missing in action recently! We are expanding our family, not by two feet, but by four! That's right, we are expecting twins!! You would think by the middle of my 2nd trimester it would have sank in by now, but I still feel shock as I type!

Lol, it definitely didn't feel like I had any superpowers the first trimester when I could barely move and spent most of my time in the bathroom! The second trimester is proving to be better with less sickness but the bigger I get, the more it takes to get me moving. 

I know there are a plenty of moms out there with experience with twins, so please any advice is much appreciated!!!
