Rainbow Rag Rug | Anna’s Chair | Notebooks | Wedges | Earrings
If your week is in need of brightening, this round up should do the trick. I’m particularly obsessed with Anne Harwell’s rendition of Anna Spiro’s chair. Anna happens to be one of my very favorite interior designers and I die over this chair. What’s even more amazing is that Anne’s print has been turned into a needlepoint kit. If I only had the skill..
After being away from the blog for so long, I knew that a fresh start would require some fresh inspiration. Lately I can’t get enough of German artist Nina Nolte. The painting above is from her series “The Best is Yet to Come”–I can’t think of a more appropriate theme to start off 2012! I’m always searching for statement pieces to add to my jewelry collection and only wish I had snapped up this Kate Spade stunner when it was available. Jackie Kennedy’s equally beautiful sister Lee Radziwill is another icon of mine. Her book Happy Times is currently on my nightstand and offers the most intimate glimpse into the lives of the Bouvier sisters. In 2012 I’m resolving to take care of myself. Getting the requisite 8 hours of sleep should be no problem thanks to my dreamy new D. Porthault Tigre shams. Color and pattern continue to be my biggest sources of inspiration and Quadrille marries the two perfectly. GADABOUT’S “A Horse of a Different Color” note cards have been on my wish list for years. The fact that they continue to inspire me is reason enough to pull the trigger!
P.S Thank you for all of your kind emails and tweets over the past few months. I had no idea how many of you came to love this little blog and am eager to get back to posting!
P.P.S for more of inspiration follow me on Pinterest. I’m obsessed!

When I first saw this photo featuring Chelsea of Sugar Paper in the latest issue of Matchbook Magazine, I immediately knew I had to have their A Good Reminder Print for my desk at work. Isn’t it the perfect sentiment to keep close by during the work day? Since it’s Monday and I’m sure we could all use a little inspiration/friendly reminders to get us going, I’ve pulled together a few more typograhpic favorites. I’m loving all the unique fonts!
D.C is often given the short end of the stick when it comes to things related to style and design. Yes, we may have our fair share of politicos in nondescript suits, but there are also many talented, creative, and stylish Washingtonians out there. In an effort to show that D.C has more to offer than back room deals, power suits, and pearls, I’ve decided to start a new series highlighting some of the amazing people and companies we have here in the District.
First up is Inslee Haynes, a D.C based fashion illustrator, whose work has inspired me to take a little bit more care when dressing in the morning. Oh to be as chic as one of her illustrations! Not only is Inslee incredibly talented, she’s also completely in tune with the fashion world and blogging community. I love that she draws inspiration from luxury lines like Prada’s Spring 2011 ad campaign as well as some of my favorite blogs (be sure to check out her illustrations inspired by The Fashion Magpie, The Man Repeller, and Mrs. Lilien!) If you’re itching for an illustration of your own, Inslee accepts commissioned projects and sells select prints and note cards in her online shop. I’m dying over her Valentine’s Day illustration (first image above)–that hot pink trench!
I hope you enjoyed a peek at Inslee Stationery and I can’t wait to highlight more of the talented people here in D.C!
For a stationery hoarder like myself, a visit to Mr. Boddington’s Studio always results in new additions to my wish list. Their Valentine’s Day cards are cute as can be and almost make me wish I was on the female equivalent of Sister Wives (Brother Husbands??) so I could have a reason to buy both sets! All kidding aside, I think I’m leaning towards the eye chart. It reminds me of this poster I’ve been coveting from Keep Calm Gallery.
P.S Did you spot the Eames lounge chair on the second card? Now I might have to reconsider my choice. LOVE!
