...a little bit of this // a little bit of that // new beginnings...

It has been a longggggg while since I posted last- lots of changes & new beginnings on many fronts.  I'm now working full-time on the design side of things over here at WellWed magazine.  I'm starting to feel more settled after all of these adjustments so I promise to be posting design inspiration weekly now along with creative happenings & projects!  Only good things to come- cheers to monday x mv

...ace&jig sp13...

...I want EVERYTHING from ace&jigs spring13 line...their best collection yet- 

amazing work, Jenna!  If you have yet to add one of their pieces to your wardrobe, do it! The fabrics & silhouettes are comfortable, versatile, & gorgeous- I promise you wont be disappointed.  Available at Anthropologie & Madewell.

...flea market bounty...

...I have a shameless chair obsession, so when I saw this peacock chair at one of the flea markets this weekend I had to snatch it up & the price was right! 10 euros! Done! This beauty just needs a little love & soon she'll be sitting in our sunny living room (much to my husbands dismay- so maybe in my new studio).  What do you think, a glossy coat of black with a black & white patterned cushion? Should I keep it white?  Or maybe a fun pop color?  Anyways, you can get yours in a beautiful royal blue here!

Loving these shots of the iconic 70's chair with some seriously gorgeous gals.... {images via here & here} x mvg

...interiors & wasson...

...just a couple images that made me smile today...definitely fitting given that I'm currently posted up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming!  Cheers to friday! x {images via here & here}

...mara hoffman sp13...

...here are the key pieces from nyfw mara hoffman sp13 collection that totally rocked it for me.

I'm not only crazy about the patterns, applications, & colors, but the silhouettes of these two maxi dresses are to die for!  The pattern placement is perfectly suited for them, don't you think?

Love the whole getup below...braided tasseled belt, utility-esque shirt paired with the jade green shorts & ethnic printed tee....love love....

...billabong winter 12/13 shoot...

...last fall billabong eu asked to use our house for their winter 12/13 photoshoot- I was flattered & obviously agreed- the campaign just launched so now I'm able to share!  Here are some of the pics that were used from our house....

...we now have a great big vintage french map framed with repurposed wood on that bare teal wall!  

And this behind the scenes video from the photoshoot not only includes our house, but also some of the most beautiful parts of the french & spanish coast on the bay of biscay...

....here are some of my favorite pieces from the collection for fall/winter...you can check out the rest of the collection here...x mvg

...tuesday takes...

...here are a few recent loves from my pinterest boards...I'd take them all!

FOR STYLE kind of digging the printed wide leg pants & the flowy top look

FOR INSPIRATION this little painting looks exactly like a print I just hand drew for one of my clients...definitely inspired to add watercolor to it now though...

FOR ARM in love with the semi-precious stones & braided rope combo- a little earthy & a little prep

FOR HOME versatile vintage textiles from bolivia- love that you can use it as a throw, beach blanket, table cloth...whatever

FOR HEART daily reminders like this keep me going & help me put this crazy life in perspective 

...the goods...

...I've been flea market hopping a lot lately & yesterday at the docks in Biarritz I found these killer bangles...beautifully silk threaded & full of color.  I'm pretty sure they're from India.  I'm not going to tell you how much I paid other than that they were a serious steal...I'm now regretting not buying the entire basket!  You can get yours here! enjoy x mvg

...oh comely...

...here's a little sneak peek at a shoot I just worked on for Oh Comely magazine out of the UK with stylist, Lene Johansen & photographer, Crista Leonard (thats me the model getting pinned below! ha!)  They needed a model & I was down...it was actually pretty fun being a model for the afternoon- I'd definitely do it again if I had the chance.  The issue comes out in the fall- I'll be sure to share once it arrives, but until then go over & check out the publication here...I'm digging it...x mvg

...workin it...

...elle es...

...in route to Barcelona earlier this week I was flipping through Elle Espana at the airport while eating a bocadillo & sipping on some coffee (I know I fell off the spring detox wagon temporarily) I loved this editorial spread from the may 2012 issue taken in the Mediterranean...ummm yeah, & I also seriously loved Barcelona!  More posts to come on that soon- promise! x mvg
