...color surge...

...and I'm back from my travels...wow, what a whirlwind!  Boston => Nantucket => Vermont => Jackson Hole => Vermont => Francy Pants- never a dull moment!  While it was an amazing trip, I'm happy to be back & ready to tackle all of my upcoming design projects...AND, I'm moving into my new studio today!  Here's a powerful punch of color to get you going this week! All of these send a surge of energy & inspiration for me...{images via here, here, & here}

...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 

...de kooning...

...MoMa currently has an exhibition of the paintings of Willem de Kooning.  I find his work extremely inspiring- mostly his abstractions from the 40's & 50's...these are a few of my faves...
