Color Scheme of the Month: Beige

For August I choose the color beige for my color scheme of the month series. I feel that beige is a nice color to end the summer with. It's a simple reminder of the beach, the golden sand and ultimately the summer season itself. 

I hope everyone had a great summer! Go out and enjoy what's left of it!!

Beautiful Kitchens

I know I can't be the only one who drools over beautiful kitchens, right?! To make a meal in any of these kitchens would truly be a dream come true. The thing I love the most in these pictures is the Smeg fridge! The things I would do for a Smeg, man. I also love the idea of a clear fridge door (though, you'd have to keep your fridge pretty neat!) And I can't forget to mention all the gorgeous tile work. I especially love the subway tiles (who am I kidding, I am OBSESSED with subway tiles). 

Color Scheme of the Month: Navy

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7

This month I am feeling the color navy. I believe navy is a seasonless color and I love to wear it all year round. I also adore navy accents and home decor. I always gravitate to the blue items in any store. I am naturally drawn to it.

What is your go-to color?

Pretty Patterns: Summer Colors

01 // 02 // 03 // 04 // 05

I love, love, love patterns! All of these patterns feature pretty summery colors, including the Pantone color of the year - emerald green. I would love to have prints of these to hang up around the house... bathroom, living room and bedroom, maybe? If I was feeling daring I might choose one for wallpaper?! That would be amazing! 

10 Favorite Fonts

Voluptate // Contribute // Janda Stylist Script // Lovelo // Housegrind // Quicksand // Signerica // 

Bebas Neue // Riddle // Arsenale White     

I am definitely one of those people who obsess over fonts. I love all aspects of typography and I wish I could create a font of my own someday. Until then, I will sit back and enjoy these fonts I love at the moment!

Beautiful Book Covers

An Object of Beauty // The Crow's Vow // Epilogue // American Nerd // The Newlyweds // Gabriel Garcia Marquez: The Early Years 

Despite the adage not to judge a book by its cover, it's kinda hard not to just want to pick up and devour each of these books, based on their covers only. In a sea of a billion books, I need something to grab me and pull me in. Sometimes it's the book cover, other times a review I read or a recommendation from a friend. But above all, beautiful design is a big attraction in all aspects of my life so it's no wonder these six books caught my eye. 

Join me and check out these books ASAP! I'm getting my Kindle now :)

Web Designs I Love

Each day I surf the web I come across blogs that leave me absolutely stunned (and slightly jealous lol). Most often the design of the blog is what jumps out at me first. I've read that a poor design can turn off readers, even if the content is great. These five blogs don’t have to worry about that; each is beautifully designed and full of inviting content.

Hey Gorgeous Events // You just feel gorgeous reading Hey Gorgeous Events. The web design is so feminine and flirty and girly and I love it like I love cotton candy and summer.

Bright Bazaar // Is there a blog more colorful than Bright Bazaar? Seriously, if you’re having a bad day just viewing this blog will make you happy. I love nothing more than a colorful blog. But these colors are crazy and out there; they fit together in a way that is pleasing the eyes.


A House in the Hills // Come for the gorgeous style and stay for the cutest doggies ever. The web design is minimal and fresh and makes me want to move and live in the hills.

Pennyweight // Pennyweight gives readers a minimalist design to feast on and a comprehensive curation of the most beautiful things on the internet.


Amanda Jane Jones // Not only is her blog beautiful but she designs for Kinfolk Magazine, which features some of the best magazine design out there.

What’s your favorite web design? Or what blogs just make you ache with jealousy over how pretty they are? Share you faves in the comments! Hey! and go read/follow these wonderful blogs too!
