Pinterest - Pinning with Radiant Republic

Radiant Republic is fairly new to the blogging world but you would never know it as she has jumped right in and found her voice instantly (which to some can be a BIG challenge)! Erika's blog is chock full of great lifestyle tidbits from lust worthy fashion ensembles to daydreamy interiors she has it all covered. She was also just included in the latest RUE magazine and also lends her voice to the Wayfair Blog, "My Way Home" Keep an eye out because I predict you are about to see a lot more of my friend Erika!!

When I wake up in the morning, I tuck into a cozy space with my iPad and mug of coffee to begin my day.  With little room for distraction, small spaces inspire some of my best writing.  And who wouldn't be inspired by spaces as lovely as these?

Pinterest - Pinning with A Stylists Life

I am so excited to introduce you all to Raina who has become such a source of inspiration for me! Not only is she an amazing stylist she is also a mom juggling her own company (which of course I am taking tips from) and is always such a joy to catch up with when I see her at events! Her beautiful work has been published in RUE Magazine, Apartment Therapy and also in a new book soon to be released by Thom Filicia in the Fall!

Marfa! Dream destination with a dream modern cottage.  I fantasize about building a place like this on land we own, a place to escape to while we think and plan what we would build on the land.  Then later making it my office.

 

But then I see a space like this, modern yet rustic - full of character and I'm back to searching for the perfect old house to renovate....

Please make sure to pop on over to her blog "A Stylists Life" and also follow her pins on Pinterest, I promise she will inspire you!

Monday Morning Happy

Morning All! Last week I took some much needed time off to put the finishing touches on the wedding plans and let me just say it feels SO dang good to have made some decisions! Of course I can't reveal all just yet but I can share inspiration for the tabletop. I wonder how I would ever have planned a wedding without my trusty friend Pinterest?! Mr. Vog even said to me the other day "What did people do before the internet, look vendors up in the phone book?"...I shudder at this crazy thought!

Pinning at High Point Market

Morning! I am packing for High Point and have that fun butterfly feeling in my stomach! A few weeks ago I was asked by the fabulous folks at High Point Market to be a part of their first ever StyleSpotter program. They have chosen 8 Designers/Bloggers from the U.S. and Canada to spot the trends and "pin" them to their Pinterest boards.

You might ask what is High Point? It is a Furniture Show twice a year where vendors come to unveil their new lines of furniture and home accents. It is comprised of 180 buildings and over 10 million sq feet of showspace. A whooping 85,000 people attend! Holy Moly is right! Can we say flat shoes?! For the last week I have been mapping out a laundry list of showrooms to visit and know I will return home full of creative new ideas!

Let's be honest, I am so honored to be a part of this incredibly talented group of ladies, all who are dynamos in the design community! If you are not familiar with them please visit their blogs, I promise they will become daily reads.

How can you participate and feel like you are right there with me at High Point?
1. Follow my HP Pinterest Board. If you need an invite let me know!
2. Watch my Tweets on my Twitter feed they will be labeled with #StyleSpotter
3. Visit my Facebook page where I will be uploading images throughout the 5 days of Market

I hope you all have a good weekend! I will be popping in next week to give you all updates and say hello!
