Friday Faves

It's Friday again--time for Friday Faves! I have actually taken the day off to go up to Boston to see my younger sister play squash! She plays on a men's team (there isn't a women's team) and beats them all the time! I'm pretty excited to cheer her on. I'm loving on this winter/November feeling, clothing wise and design wise.

I love this grey toned outfit from J Crew. Tweedy skirt? UM yeah. Gold belt? totes. FURRY CLUTCH? Mine.

Stella and Dot is my new fave place for fun jewelry. Its fun, affordable, and SO pretty. This Sophia Pearl Bib Necklace is only $118.

And now for some interiors. I love the drama in this room but at the same time it's quite cozy. The pair of wing chairs is one of my faves--check out the design on front. Details like that are something that really matter in an interior. Plus who doesn't want a mini wheelbarrow on their coffee table? Photography by Emily J. Followill.

This bobbin chair is absolutely gorgeous to start but the whole scene is so dynamic with the colorful painting, tiny bookcase, and pretty throw pillow. Courtney Giles.

I'm off to Boston now but I will be stopping off first to see my photography show in Farmington, CT. I hope you all get a chance to stop by if you're in the area or even if you're not, you could take a flight into Hartford (New England's Rising Star) and check out The Millrace Bookstore and see my photography. Tell me if you go! Also, what are your plans for the weekend? Anything design related? Design-wise, I'm going to help my mother pick out a color for a painted bookcase!

Rando Design Inspiration Friday!

I'm approaching this weekend with a bit of trepidation. I know I have a lot to do for school when all I really want to do is go downtown and shop around and hit up a flea market or two. OH WELL, these are the sacrifices I have to make for my future/school. I'll be at school chained to a drafting table. Not like the one above--they are all white and pristine but the one above looks like fun. I am jazzed that it's Friday because I'm pretty tired so here are some relaxing nap inducing rooms. Enjoy!

I love this kind of window here with a window seat. The light streaming in looks so warm and inviting. Interior by Courtney Giles.

My new favored designer is Chad Eisner. He has amazing taste as you can see above with that fun and surprising drum shade. Check out his portfolio HERE.

This whimsical coffee table keeps the room from feeling too stuffy. I'd love to have a soft arm chair like that one by the window. From Katie Sellers.

I would just love to skip out of work right now (at 10:30 eek!) and sit in a window seat warmed by the sun and read a book. But alas, I'll be out soon enough I guess and only to start madly thinking about rearranging a mini kitchen in an inventive way so that my teacher won't yell at me. What are your plans? Outside? Inside? With family and friends?
