...I've always been into the more tribal bib necklaces & they've definitely stolen the scene recently...I have a great one from brazil that is made of dyed nuts...I love these ones below as well { images via here & here}

...style blogs...
...I'm feeling the crunch- leaving tomorrow for the US for 2 1/2 weeks- so I've been trying to tie up any project loose ends & get the house in order so I apologize for the blog neglect (don't worry- I'll still be posting daily)!
I'm hoping you come here for all sorts of design inspiration & are inspired by what inspires me. Eventually I'd like to incorporate a style column- I love fashion just as much as the next gal...but until then I'll continue to share the girlies that inspire me...what are your style reads? I frequent sincerely jules & seams for a desire. I love the effortlessly stylish look-- not too polished & a little rough around the edges (I'm not a fan of anything too fussy)- & these two blogs are spot on.... x mvg

...paris in the rain...
...I've been pretty good at the last minute trips lately...this one was multi-layered with pattern inspiration shopping, a work conference for my babe & picking up the much deserved vintage moto for him (a 1971 motobecane) just on the outskirts of paris.
I always seem to get stuck in the rain when I'm in paris...sans umbrella! During a torrential downpour I ducked into the 1st shop I could find & it just happened to be colette- what a pleasant surprise! Such a fun shop filled to the brim with design inspiration of all sorts. My favorite finds were sydney evans' arrow ring & the le labo products...
The 2nd night we found ourselves at chic side street bistro, francois felix, a must for sure. The food, wine, & ambience was very parisian...loved it! {images via here & pattern via here} x mvg

...astier de villatte...
...back in march I wrote about my trip to London & the amazing ceramic collection I stumbled across at Liberty. Well I happened to run into the atelier of astier de villatte yesterday while perusing for prints...
The collection is absolutely gorgeous....I'm so in love with the textures & the milky washed looking glazes! I wish I could have a house full of this stuff...headed back south tomorrow...cheers to friday! x mvg {images via here, here, here}

...design icon...
I'm going to be surface pattern inspiration hunting in paris today so I thought it would be fitting to mention one of my favorites, florence broadhurst. An aussi gal known for her wallpaper patterns, I've always been a huge fan of her horse stampede print below...
I'm actually really interested in reading her biography as well because the story of her life is somewhat controversial. She was a chameleon- reinventing herself & her career several times over the coarse of her life- very successful but secretive & there is some speculation as to whether some of her designs were even her own...her death still remains a mystery. Regardless of the drama I love the business she built & the prints that came under her name...
...this spring kate spade teamed up with signature prints which now controls broadhursts' print library to launch a home goods collection infused with some of her most iconic prints.
You can view more here...ok, ciao for now...off to pound the paris pavement...x mvg

...straw & paper...
...hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Ours was packed with friends, laughs, sunshine & wine here in Biarritz...
...how cool are these straw & paper creations by swedish artist per ake back man?! They seem to have both a structural & organic feel at the same time.
...I'd love to add something like this to a corner in our
living room...I haven't found a place to buy online yet, but I'm hoping I can track one down. I'll keep you posted! {images via here} x mvg
