weekend wishes..

 

Happy Mother's day weekend to everyone!  I like to consider it more of a holiday weekend than just one day- mom's are too special for just one day.  We are planning a little hike and a hilltop picnic for tomorrow- I am so excited!

I hope you are enjoying it so far!  It has been a busy one over here- so sorry for the delay!

I attended another workshop at Design Love Fest today on social media.. I like to brush up on these things and Bri had some great tips to keep me on my game.

I fell hard for this blog by Fieldwork Flowers- um please!

Did  a little shopping too..  shameful I know.. but I picked up some super cute crop jeans and this cutie pie!

Pretty sure this would work for breakfast in bed for me- you?

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

weekend wishes....

 I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, after a long week it is nice to relax and enjoy a little time at home.  

Here are a few things to keep you going....

Madelines are some of my favorite sweets...

If you cannot make it to the Kips Bay Decorator show house

It feels like summer here in California so I have been eyeing swimsuits and cover ups like a crazy person.

We have been adding all kinds of great pieces to the shop... stop by and check it out!

Merci Paris goes green and yellow for Spring

 

One of our favorite shops Merci in Paris changes it up for Spring this year.  They have switched out the little red mini for green grass, a yellow farm truck and beautiful flowers.  I am sure it is so amazing to see in person.  The switch was made with the expertise of  David Jeannerrot and the team at Les Mauvaises Graines, check out their interview with him here.  Just another reason to stop by the shop if you are visiting Paris, it has become a destination in itself,  and make sure you take a few moments to have a snack in their little bookshop cafe too if you are there.

Spring tea and sweets... with Rocq

 

I know you have heard me talk about Rocq Macarons time and time again.  Well now they are making little sweets just for Whole Foods Markets, and we got to have a little peek at what they have been up to.  They have some amazing new macaron flavors for Spring too.  We decided to have a little tea party to celebrate our love for them last week - a little welcome if you will.

 Check out the new Spring flavors are available via the Rocq Macaron site and in Whole Foods Stores across the US.

weekend wishes...

 

We are looking forward to a semi relaxed weekend here.  There is a little rain in the schedule so maybe we can get somethings done around the house too.  I fell for these little beauties this week at the market and they made an appearance in our photo shoot that we did on Friday too (more on that next week).  

Here are a few things that I came across this week...

Gorgeous French Country wedding inspiration.

I am in love with these little puffy beds..  hum where could I use one or two?

Homemade donuts.. umm yes please!

A BIG THANK YOU to Shari at Little Blue Deer for the facelift on the blog!  I love it and I hope you do too!

I am searching for hooks for the cabana... cannot decide!! What do you think of these?

Hope you have super fun weekend!

spring arrangements..

 

Spring is my all time favorite time of year..  I love the fresh flowers, the green trees, the softness that is in the air.  And I truly love the abundance of  flowers and branches available for cutting.  I will freely admit that I am terrible at arranging flowers but I love love them around the house, so I make due with buying a bunch and popping them into a favorite vase or pitcher.  Casual, easy...  Here are a few of my favorite ideas floating around right now.

Bold entryway

 

I love bold pieces that are simple at the same time.  This cabinet piece has clean lines but makes a serious statement with the texture and the finish.  Paired with the simple chairs and accessories, along with the amazing flowers and pop of color it is simply perfect!

Hunters Alley - Los Angeles

 

Last night I had the privilege of attending the Hunters Alley party locally in LA.  It was very fun (apparently so fun most of my photos came out blurry).  So here is a little peek at the decor and the beautiful flowers.  Everything was really wonderful and the food was amazing!

 

 

 It was a great mix of vintage furniture and rugs with artisan pieces.  Most of the vintage was from my friend Jeni at Found- love everything she does!

Check out #getfoxyla on instagram to see all the pics- have a wonderful Friday!

Weekend wishes...

 

I spent a little time this week cleaning up my office to send some pictures off to an editor.. let's all keep our fingers crossed for me!  I wish is could always look like this but typically it looks like a bomb went off in my office with piles of paperwork and samples just about everywhere.  Maybe it will last the weekend?... 

Some fun things you might like to get you through the weekend...

Want/Need - those are the same thing right?

Everyone seems to be planning a Spring trip this year.. I could use a tropical island right about now and this would be the perfect piece.

After our visit to Lynmar Winery last fall I have been searching for a great salted cookie recipe.. I think this one might be a keeper. 

We are all in need of a great design book..  I am so looking forward to The Inspired Home: Nests of Creatives coming out on the 11th of March.

Happy March my friends!
