Anyone paying attention on here knows that I’m not the best at consistency, so with that said, happy official spring (a few days late)! As a florist, I’m always inspired by spring and the flowers that ring in the season. That combined with my love of fashion, interiors, and all things beautiful makes for lots of inspiration to be had. Here’s just a little bit of what’s springing to mind.

Happy belated New Year! So, I’ve been a little busy/distracted, but I’m hoping going forward I can be better about sharing my “Current Obsessions” when they’re actually current. With that said, I’m currently feeling the blues (as we are in the middle of winter after all), and they also happen to be some of my favorite hues, particularly ultramarine, cobalt, and Yves Klein blue. Stay warm even if you’re feeling blue too!

Is it really already nearing the middle of July?! Well, I better share a little bit of what’s inspiring me for peak summer before the season is over! This is actually one of my favorite times of the year in fashion and home, because shops are starting to transition from summer to fall. That means that some of my favorite things from summer, like seashells and coral, ikat and block prints, raffia and sisal, are getting a moody touch of the autumn season that’s ahead of us. Here’s some of what’s inspiring me during these hot months, with my mind drifting more and more towards fall with each degree the temperature rises.

Happy (late) New Year! I’m overdue sharing my favorite things from the current and upcoming seasons in fashion, as well as what I’m loving in general for spring so far. Things are starting to bloom, but official spring can’t get here fast enough. Until then, let this inspire its quick return!

Hello December! Thanksgiving is behind us, and the winter holidays are on their way, whether you’re ready for them or not. Hanukkah starts December 7th, and of course Christmas is the 25th. With all the celebrations fast approaching, I thought I’d share what’s inspiring me this season. You’ll see I have a very obvious color palette. I hope that whatever you do this year, big or small, that it brings you joy. See you in the new year!

Well, my favorite season has arrived…fall! There’s so much to love every autumn, from the fashion (it’s sweater weather after all), to the holidays to come. It’s hard to narrow down my favorite things about the season, so I’ll just share a snippet of what I’m currently thinking about, including some of my favorite fashion looks from the fall 2023 runways. Happy fall!!

What’s that saying? Everything’s coming up roses?? Well, you could say that’s what I’ve had on my mind lately, especially with the roses fully in bloom everywhere I look! That’s gotten me thinking about all the roses I love, in all their forms: from art to fashion to the real thing. Here’s just a little bit of what’s been blooming in my mind.

With a little more than a month before fall begins (my favorite season), my mind has definitely begun to wander that direction, while still trying to soak in the last of the summer sun. Pre-fall fashion collections are in stores now, and there are always the tried and true things to expect, mixed with fun surprises. One element I look forward to in some way, is the animal print. Whether it’s the classic leopard, or a bold take on zebra, animal prints are a must in your wardrobe, and can be brought home too in big and small ways. Here are some of my favorite pre-fall 2022 looks mixed in with much-loved interiors.

I use the term “Current Obsessions” loosely, because for the most part what I post here has been a longtime obsession. I might just be thinking about it again, or with a fresh perspective, and additional components. That’s the case with what I’m sharing today. This is both a color crush situation, and me thinking about what I would call my dream kitchen and bathroom. If you’re a designer, or just a creative in general, you can probably attest to how a “dream” anything can and will change. Well, for now I’ll call this my dream, along with some other obsessions. Enjoy!

Although it’s not exactly a brand new thought, I again have Paris on my mind, more specifically my dream pied-à-terre in the heart of The City of Light. Here are some spaces, fabrics, and more that make up my perfect Paris apartment, and lets just say Jeffrey Bilhuber’s interiors were just a tiny bit of my inspiration.😉
