Another dose of color therapy from domino magazine this month - I am finding pastels so appealing - not in the traditional overtly frilly feminine way - but just simple and gorgeous - lush and sexy... I love the interior of Ruthie Sommers' Project Manager, Krista Ewart's home featured in the June/July issue. 

Colormevivre 

I tend to post about Vivre quite a bit - I really can't help it - the company has redefined luxe glamour and I can not get enough.  I just received the Summer catalogue and was particularly smitten by these two images {as well as the products featured in each shot}.  The combination of colors on the table are all at once earthly and ethereal - gorgeous.  And while I seem drawn to colors this time of year - I still can't get enough of white on white...

Pinkbox

If you LOVE pink as much as I do and are captivated by sublime fashion photography, be sure to check out the new blog, pink*box.  This LA based graphic designer has an incredible eye for the delightful and lovely - it is like unwrapping a pink-coated piece of heavenly chocolate every morning...

Colorme

Gorgeous color-filled issue of Martha Stewart Living.  These images force me to remember that color is gorgeous - and to look past all the neutrals in my life!  Bring on the pink!

Linklove

I just can't seem to stay away!  Check out the new links {marked with an asterisk} under both 'Read' and 'Inspire'  - some wonderful new discoveries out there!  New favs include Terramia, Treats and Treasures and SeamSters...

Glossylove_2

You may feel as if this blog is morphing into a glossy-obsessed mosaic - well - for now anyway, it kind of is!  I am just finding so much to delight me in the pages of some of my favorite magazines right now; like these beautiful images from April '07 British Homes & Gardens...

Foodandwine

I can't get enough of food photography right now - especially this photo from April '07 Food & Wine - taken mid-meal there is a casual elegance about the image - you want to crawl in and pull up a chair...

Vanity

I have always been a sucker for a great vanity shot - I love the mix of elements and textures.  In this shot in particular I am really adoring the modern use of color with the overtly feminine accents... {from House & Garden April 2007}

Brocadeagain

I love the fact that I keep receiving these little wonders of inspiration in my post box everyday - the new outdoor furniture line from Brocade Home is - to be expected - sublime.  And could you just die for that pink grill?  I love that you can now shop online - my living room has recently been graced with this beauty...

Prettyfeet

I find myself seeking out product photography right now - I find the placement of products, backdrops and angles really inspiring in my own design work - love this shot from the new Anthropologie catalog...
