It's Been Real, June!

For me, June has been the most relaxing month this year thus far - I got to do some painting, antiquing, boating, celebrating and even adopted a sweet, new puppy named Birdie :) Can you believe we're halfway done with 2012? Looking forward to see what the rest of this year has in store... Happy July, friends!

Eloise Corr Danch

We talked briefly about Eloise Corr Danch's work in 3-D design class today and I couldn't wait to get home to check out the rest of her portfolio online. Needless to say, it did not disappoint. 

Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan Do Shelter Island Right

 I'm loving Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan's "part modernist fantasy, part rustic beach retreat" on Shelter Island as well as the amusing article Doonan himself wrote about it for Architectural Digest. Read it here!

Takashi Wasaki

Loving these colorful hand-embroidered pieces by Takashi Iwasaki. Check out the rest of his work here.

Gucci Resort 2013

Embellished necklines and perfectly tailored pantsuits set against a wall full of flowers? yes, please!

See the rest of the Gucci Resort 2013 Collection here.

Outdoor Envy

A few clean, contemporary spaces that still feel warm and welcoming. Enjoy your Monday!

Sonnenzimmer

Nick Butcher and Nadine Nakanishi are the duo behind Sonnenzimmer, a Chicago-based design and print studio specializing in hand-crafted prints that blur the line between fine and applied arts, and I'm really loving the overall aesthetic. You can check out their portfolio and purchase prints right here.

Patric Johansson

I could spend hours looking through Patric Johansson's portfolio... oh wait. I just did. He has captured some really beautiful spaces, hasn't he?
