I've always been a fan of
West Elm, though sometimes they go through "global" phases which isn't really my style.
I love clean, simple lines, vintage, Scandanavian and mid century designs.
And white...lots of it.
West Elm's current new arrivals hit the nail on the head and had me drooling as I looked through the new catalog, so I thought I'd share!
(how cute would this be in a nursery?)
They also have started revealing this year's Christmas collection!
I'm so excited to decorate an actual house this year with outdoor Christmas lights and a real/normal sized tree! (our mini tree that we bought at Whole Foods and carried all the way back to our apartment last year only lasted a week or so. Read more
here and
here.)
The few Christmas decorations I've seen at West Elm this year have me excited to see the rest!
I am so getting this wreath to go over our fireplace:
and these cute felt snowflakes better find their way to my tree:
(though they may have to wait until the after Christmas sales hit to stock up for a whole tree full!)
I love you West Elm!
Call me boring, but ever since I spotted these at
Canoe I have dreamt (is that how you would spell that? it looks weird) about the simplicity and straight lines of these
dishes and
cups.
Though I love my current dishes, and would feel guilty buying something else (what would I do with the old stuff?) I kind of want white everything white now.
Get into my cupboard!
And because this post lacks color entirely (and because I think he's super cute in his shorts/cowboy boots) here are some pictures of Bennett helping me do some shopping...
What's in your cupboards?
PS: I made my
granola with chopped up dried white peaches from TJs and it's sooo good.
I will never put raisins in it again!
I hadn't either until I saw their lovely dresses on
Bliss last week. Lee is an Australian designer who's dresses are exactly what I always want to find but never can...simple designs, quality construction and fabrics. The
dresses certainly aren't cheap ($200-$500) though they are currently trying to get rid of their summer stock
(it's currently the end of Australia's summer) so most of them are under $100 until they are gone!
These are the ones I am loving...
audrey dress:
becky slip:
katie dress:
isabel dress:
mia shirtdress:
peta tunic:
stella dress:
I seriously want each and everyone of them...I can't think of a more perfect summer wardrobe.
So light and airy!
Emerson Made: Spring
I don't consider myself a style mavin by any means.
I buy and wear what I like, regardless of what the celebrities are wearing these days, because come on, do people really think
these ,
this and
this are cute?
I like simple, clean lines and not ugly. You'd think this would be easy to find...
Emerson Made recently posted their new
spring line on their blog and I am in love with almost every piece!
(though it's not as pricey as the designer stuff, most of it is still super spendy and I dream about owning just one piece.)
It's sure is fun to look at though!
i'm a sucker for scallops:
(not the kind you eat)
simple summer dress:
part military, part waitress:
little tote bag:
cutest denim shorts ever:
another summer dress:
pleats:
scallops and dots:
such cute pants:
pleats and bows:
oh the cuteness:
cutest dress ever:
PS: It's not cheap because EM is just a husband and wife (Emerson, who is also the gorgeous model) team and they make a very limited number of each item, a lot of which sell out from just the pre-orders!)
