Fabulous Florals...Fabulous Friday...

Floral is everywhere; ready for spring of course...I am loving this image of the Liberty Building Flower Market in London! And speaking of London...how exciting is this...March 2010 is the launch of Liberty of London's new collection for Target! Found a sneak peak at the collection via Real Simple Magazine...and the commercial airing is fabulous too- have you seen it?












Anthropologie is known for florals...love this necklace...







Loving these Stella McCartney sandals- perfect paired with that just right dress...





Realistically speaking(then again haute couture is not so realistic)...this pair of sandals is not for walking...a show stopper on the runway...sure! (photo via squidoo.com)







Fancy a floral handbag...(photo via squidoo.com)

I would love to visit artist and designer Lisa Corti's studio...filled with not only floral but many a pattern, art, ceramics and so on...


So needless to say, spring is coming up floral as it usually does, with exciting style and many lovely choices!
Have a fab weekend!

Another concept for Design-In-A-Box from Zuniga Interiors...

It's All About Blue...

That is in the fabulous pages of this month's issue of House Beautiful! Stephen Drucker and his editorial staff have done it again! That is why I so look forward with great anticipation to see each new issue! And I was so excited to see an issue devoted to Blue! From azure to robin's egg to turquoise...blue has more lovely shades than any other color! (as far as I am concerned) Here are just some of my favorite blues... Robin's Egg by Benjamin Moore



Medium Blue Ralph Lauren



Blueground Farrow & Ball

And some of my favourite fabrics in blue, starting with Tilbury from Laura Ashley for Kravet (I just can't get enough of this fabric on chairs, pillows, drapes...)


My favourite blues from Quadrille...















Just love the Marrakesh Collection from Highland Court...







Highland Court has a fabulous faux leather blue...and a Newport Blue linen too...








One of my ultimate favorites from Duralee is the peacock velvet...it's the perfect shade of turquoise for a headboard...sofa...chair...





These Moroccan tiles are haute...for a kitchen or bathroom...


This French hand-painted collection is lovely for a kitchen or powder room...

As for chairs...these two are many a favourite...
