House Tour: David Collins


I'm thrilled to be starting off this week with a delightful treat for all of you who love color!
David Collins shares his home of fabulous proportions and colors.
Blues, purples and greens are the foundation of the color story...so very cool and relaxing.
He throws in uber modern gems yet keeps a traditional wit about the home.
I think its gorgeous and very, very well done.
 I have always loved the modern look of open staircases like these.
Is this not 'office space of the day' worthy? love.








I just can't ever emphasize enough "it's all about the details"!
Oh, I just can't take all this goodness! So, so good, no?

My street style + my weekend DIY makeover

What I have been loving this weekend...
I won't take off my new white blazer from UrbanOutiftters.
The huge shoulders + fitted back had me at Hello!
It goes with every single outfit and works for every single occassion, church, shopping, brunches, dinners, etc. It's perfection.

and...
I took a old little stool, repainted it glossy white and threw on some blue + white  
Chiang Mai fabric.
Um, total swoon, it's my new favorite little piece! I think I am in love.

Super successful 'white' weekend I'd say! 
also...
I find this bedroom to be very cute. 
I am loving the pink suzani look right now, I searched for one all weekend
Oh and these green curtains, love!
  
I hope all of you beautiful friends of mine are having a fabulous weekend!
Your love + support throughout my days means so much to me, I am so blessed by all of you!!!!!
So, please remember to enter to win our giveaway...
I am so excited to be giving away something fun.
I mean, who doesn't want an extra pair of pillows, right?
smooch!

Home Tour + decorating ideas: scandinavian style

These are the moments of this scandinavian blogger's domestic bliss.
If I had her view, I would be in bliss every single day! It's absolutely gorgeous. 
I find it quite cute how she displays her collectibles in such a boutique-like way
She has such an Anthropologie signature style and I can't help but love the eye candy. If I lived in Norway I would be visiting her everyday...just like I sort of stalk Anthropolgie just to see the latest + greatest store decor!

fashion inspiration for the weekend ALL ABOUT LEOPARD PRINT

I am so terribly ready for fall, especially since LA has been hitting the 100's these days.
Nevertheless, I am already inspired by the beautiful looks of this coming fall fashions.
Leopard print is making waves...delicious and yummy waves!
This weekend, while dressing and while decorating, I will be inspired by this beautiful print!
How amazing does Scarlett Johansson look in leopard? love!
  leopard paired with hot pink keeps it summery...
so gorgeous!

Dear Decorista, {how to decorate like Kelly Wearstler}

Dear Decorista,

Hi Ashlina,
I absolutely love your blog! I was wondering if you could help me with a design delima? I decided to paint my home office like Kelly Wearstler’s foyer (crazy raspberry graffiti like swirls). It came out wonderful! However I am completely stuck on where to go from here. I have a desk from Ikea that is a white base and a black and white glass top. Other than that, I bought a bunch of white and black accessories. I was thinking of going pool blues and turquoises but then I was thinking maybe purples, oranges and yellows could be cool? I don’t know, I’d love your input!
Kiki
 How creative is this girl? I wish I could pull off painting my home office like that. I love it!
Which is why I would love feedback from my readers!
She gave me 2 options of color ways. I have my ideas, but I am curious to know
Which colors do you think she should accessorize with?

Option #1

Option #2

Home Tour: tv host + lifestyle blogger Karen Bertelsen

I am just crazy about bookcases. 
So you can imagine that when I stumbled upon this photo, I took a second look. As I dissected this photo, I couldn't take my eyes off that ridiculously cozy looking chair. Who wouldn't want to sit in that thing for hours? The cowhide rug + silver side table combo left me wanting more.

Style at Home did a full feature on Miss Karen (the art of doing stuff author)and her lovely home. She did it herself and it she did it in under 1 month! I am all about a girl who gets things done!
This woman has totally inspired me, I can spot out plenty of easy-to-achieve looks that I wan't to incorporate into my own home...hope she inspires you too!
 
I love the dining room! The wood and brick together with gold framed portrait art...gorgeous!
Don't even get me started on this living room. That mirror is my new best friend!
