mint julip

just came across these adorable summery "mint julip" sandals on zappos.com from poetic licence. not only is their name super cute, but the little leather flower detail rocks my world too! i'll take a pair in every color pleeeease...(i wish).

before + after

since i am on a little green streak...i came across this really neat fireplace idea from design*sponge. this metal material was found in the woods, cleaned up, cut to size & then used as a crafty, industrial looking fireplace surround. no paint necessary! how resourceful.

gutter garden

i came across this post from lovely morning and i fell in loooove. this idea is so great. low maintenance & a huge space saver while still offering the luxury of fresh produce. i will be filing this idea and for sure using it someday when i have a house of my own.

b i k r a m

this morning i participated in my first bikram yoga (aka "hot" yoga) class. i was a little nervous about the thought of roasting in 110 degree heat for 90 minutes while attempting to strike awkward poses, but to my surprise it was very therapeutic. the instructor was extremely encouraging and you set the pace of your own work out. not only did i enjoy the class, i also thoroughly enjoyed the design of this new studio which was once a house now converted into a chic, zen, yoga retreat. if you're in napa stop by bikram yoga napa valley!

beautiful bedroom

natural wood. chunky mirror. oversized photography. crisp white linens. punchy yellow. love this room. (p.s. i am such a fan of pendants used as bedside lighting. very unexpected.)
