The more online home tours I see, the more I am appreciating clean, uncluttered decor. White walls, an abundance of neutrals, and just a splash of pink or coral has me in a whole world of bliss. It also makes me long for a house that isn’t a rental so I can whitewash magnolia walls. This particular lust-worthy abode belongs to Danielle Moss of the lovely Breakfast at Toast blog, and co-founder of the much anticipated The Everygirl, “a resource to equip women with the career and life advice they need to flourish.” Cannot. Wait. In the meantime I will be pinning Danielle’s entire home to my Pinterest, because it’s just that good:

Do you like what you see?

I want to live in these pictures. I seriously do. One day I hope my home will look just like any of the below. It is the work of Rita Konig, former editor of Domino magazine, who knows a thing or two about stylish living. Daughter of British interior designer, Nina Campbell, the force is equally strong in Rita. The colour palettes are perfection and I love her use of gallery walls and built-in bookshelves. And can’t afford a fancy bar cart? Do a ‘Rita’ and just use a couple of trays! Geniosity.

Are you equally smitten?!

How was your weekend folks? Mine was lovely and relaxed, as hoped, including another Monday off. It’s definitely the way to go. I have a certain number of days leave to take before my current contract is up in mid-March, and as far as I’m concerned there’s nothing better than a Sunday evening when you know that there’s no work in the morning. Happy days. Following on from my last two ‘Currently Craving’ posts (see here and here), this year I’m coveting some neutral with a pop of pink, some sparkle and a classic Pride and Prejudice quote. What’s on your January wish list?

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you’ve all had lovely weeks. Do you have anything exciting planned for this weekend? I’m looking forward to a relatively quiet one, meeting with some friends here and there… the majority of it will be spent gazing at the new jewel on my finger (see here). Safe to say I’m obsessed. Speaking of obsessed, I have another interior fixation: pendants. I love the slightly industrial feel they bring and the contrast of the metallic finish against sparkling white kitchens. A kitchen island with copper pendants would be my absolute DREAM, especially if purchased from a certain Tom Dixon. Uh-may-zing.

For my look of the week, I’ve gone for the Bombshell Du Jour, Amber Heard. I mean, seriously. She’s like ScarJo, but hotter. She wore a rose gold sequin Donna Karan to the 2012 Art of Elysium Heaven Gala, and other attendees didn’t even come close… and they included my red carpet faves, Bilson and Belle. It’s old Hollywood glamour done so well. As for my room of the week, the award goes to Michael Bublé’s bedroom. Be still my beating heart, check out the nailhead trim. That’s all.

I hope you have an beautiful weekend whatever you’re doing and wherever you may be…

It’s nearly Chinese New Year (it’s the Year of the Dragon, in case you were wondering), but if you speak to most design bloggers, it’s the PANTONE colour of the year that they’re more interested in. After last year’s Honeysuckle, PANTONE have gone bolder with their choice for 2012. According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, the shade is, “Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive. Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it. Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.” So there you have it. That’s a lot of words to describe, well, orange. It’s never been an immediate favourite of mine, but I have to say, when paired with more muted shades it has the potential to look incredibly chic. I blame Hermès. *sigh* oh Hermès. Tell me, dear readers, are you a fan?
