Today I’m dreaming of holiday style! I love this time of the year, and although I love the traditional reds and greens, I also love the soft and calming hues of whites, golds, and silvers. I think it’s important to find your own holiday style, without going overboard on clashing colours with your everyday decor. As preparing for the holidays can be a bit stressful at times, why not create your own holiday oasis with beautiful soft tones in pieces you can enjoy year after year? Find some bliss in simplicity and calm with these pieces.

Loving black decor is so new for me! Living in a small beach house in Santa Barbara has always inspired me to decorate with very soft, light colours. I typically love light shades of white, grey, blue, and silver, but I am now falling for darker colours, particularly anything black! Maybe it is because I’m secretly dreaming of having a stylish apartment in San Francisco or New York City. I think that adding even just one black piece to your space can add a cool sophistication that demands attention! Here are some modern black pieces I have began to obsess over. Feel free to leave comments to help me find some more pieces to add to my wish list!
Chinese Chippendale Chair from Wisteria
Studio Tripod Floor Lamp from Z Gallerie
Hitchens Side Table from Jayson Home and Garden
Cubix Ottoman from Z Gallerie
Kali Console from Inside Avenue

Thinking pretty in pink! There is something so charming and whimsical about the colour pink. With thoughts of florals and cotton candy, pink is my go to colour when I think glitz, glam, and anything girly. Invite your friends over a for tea party this weekend, pick out whimsical pink pieces from your favorite vintage store, and rekindle that girly love!
I want these suitcases. How chic and lovely! When I travel I don’t necessarily think to wear pink, so accessorizing my luggage and shoes when traveling will still give me that girly glam look. Of course, this luggage would look fabulous in any vacation rental, wherever that may be! We could even see these as props in Kristen’s studio or in my office. Wishing these were actually for sale! I’m heading out on a treasure hunt for cute pink luggage now!
Wondering where these photos were shot? Beautiful pastels! Very inviting and romantic!
Reminds me of a childhood dream. I want to find this amusement park and enjoy this neat roller coaster!
Love little ceramic sculptures like this balloon factory. What a fun and quirky gift for you or your friend! This Etsy shop is so original and so unique! I love everything they have to offer. Perfect art that will definitely be a conversation starter. LOVE!

Water Colours remind me of warm summer days at the lake, shades of blue at the swimming pool, and wonderful memories at the beach. The array of blues, greens and greys are so soothing that I couldn’t help but share some of these amazing images with you. They have inspired me to use water colours in my own space, and I am hoping they will inspire you too.
