Trina Turk.

Wait for it! Ill be touching on this designer when I have more time. She is pretty brilliant.

Celeb Style.

Just a couple of celeb photos that make me wanna be just like them, healthy right? Rachael Bilson is as cute as it gets, great jacket, great shades. Beyonce Knowles, not a huge fan but I love love love her hair here, love the bangs..makes me wanna get bangs and the shades look sweet on her too. WTF is up with Jay-z's lips? They take up half his face and I LOVE it. Olivia Oalermo, the only reason why I tuned into 'They City' every Monday night to check out what this bitch is wearing. The geek glasses look so PAINFULLY amazing on her. I actually need glasses in a major way so I will absolutely be copying this look because it makes me feel good inside.

Alison Events.

Such an incredible website to click through. The photos are fantastic and the events are so well done. If I was getting married, I'd be calling this chick to organize a fabulous destination celebration. Take a look, very inspiring...love it. http://alisonevents.com/

Sanindusa.

This is charming!

Louis XV Concierge Chair.

So I came across these Nest chairs from Turkish design studio Autoban (http://www.autoban212.com/) and it reminded me of the Louis XV Concierge chair that Tommy came across a few weeks ago.He suggested them to our client and I fell IN LOVE:


Aren't they wild? Imagine the frame sprayed in high gloss blk lacquer and then reupholstered in slate grey glazed linen. You know what the best part is? Getting a hold of this frame (along with hundreds of others) is EASY. http://www.savoiachair.com/ is a goldmine for the reproduction of antique classical furniture. Yeah, seriously. When I have the money and the space, Ill be making one of my own. I love love love this chair. Thanks TOMMMY

April Showers.

Ranunculus!
Peonies!

Dahlias!

Tulips!



Flowers are a big deal at Sarah Richardson Design Inc. and I didn't know much about them until I started working here over a year ago. These are my absolute favourite flowers. Just so you know.

Happy Easter.


Ok, I have totally blogged my brains out. Time to step away from the computer and actually enjoy my long weekend. I'm going to be spending my Easter Weekend with my main squeeze (yes! he's home!) his family and mine. How cute are these eggs painted with chalk board paint? Some people have the brightest design ideas, I swear. xo

KWID II


Check out the Moroccan pouf! The canary yellow chairs! The Greek key detail on the drapes! The orange & grey colour palette and the Lucite & leather stools. I love interior design, don't you?

Groundworks.

Kelly Wearstler has her own line of fabrics at Lee Jofa (Groundworks) and it's simply brilliant. Honestly, Groundworks at Lee Jofa is the best. Besides having KW, groundworks also features collections from the Hicks crew (David, Ashley & Allegra) and Thomas O'Brien. I am instantly drawn to this area when I source and Tommy is pretty much like...get a life.

Keep it simple.

Take an ugly ceramic ornament and completely cover it in colourful Tremclad. Another Genius idea, takes seconds and costs next to nothing.

Last.fm

I know I know, I'm really behind the times on this one but honestly, this website has changed my life a little. For those of you who don't know, you type in an artist and the site creates a radio station full of songs similar to the indicated artist. Pretty dope. Right now I'm listening to Kaskade radio, hahahaha. I love it!

Olsen II

Whats that? You want more Olsen action? Ohh alright, I think I can make that happen. I want the summer, like NOW.

Hot Summer Nights.

How great would it be to have a nook of a backyard to host intimate summer time dinners? Sadly this is not my reality but one day, I'm pretty certain Ill have a backyard too.

Going Solo.


I have no idea where I found this graphic but it was on my desk top and I decided it needed a post. I'm feelin it. I love good graphic design. I also love well designed business cards. I started building my own Rolodex and believe me, a cool looking business card is difficult to find. hmmm.

Give it to me!

Love this photo, wish I was a super model. I actually parked at the office and walked over to the Eaton Centre (Good Friday-total TOTAL shitshow) and bought a pair of overpriced jeans but the sun was out and it felt good, like real good. That snow better not be coming back anytime soon, I'm serious.

Clutch II

I posted about this Blackberry gold clutch about a year ago and look! they came out with new colours ...ahhh not so stoked on the pink pink and more pink but I'm still diggin it.

Bryan Nash Gill.

Genius idea. Bryan Nash Gill creates large scale prints from the cross sections of trees. He is able to translate the texture and the pattern of the wood grain onto paper through relief printing and rubbing technique. Love it.

Haunt haunt.

Super creepy yet I can't stop staring at it and I feel the need to share it with all of you.

A.Olsen II


Honestly! You're killing me!

A.Olsen

I have such a mega girl crush on Ashley Olsen. Love this photo, LA.

Client Appreciation.

This women I gave advice (design and design school advice) to over the phone at the office sent me flowers as a Thank You. How thoughtful, stuff like this never happens.

Case of the Mondays.

Today is such a bummer, maybe because its Monday, maybe because it took me an HOUR to get into work this morning due to the wet SNOW slowing everyone down. I wish wish wish I was in LA with my hunky man, fuck I miss him. xx okay okay, nothing like a couple of hipster kids to brighten up my morning and maybe yours! Ohhh and I haven't posted anything cool in a while because I haven't come across anything cool to post. Soon, I feel it coming.
