More from BK………

The last few weekends I have been venturing to Brooklyn with the kids.  We have been loving our excursions and I am loving our ninos enthusiasm as they grow.  Yesterday we popped into Redhook to visit my favorite florist, Saipua.  Their work is BEAUTIFUL and did I mention these BK girls bought a farm, to home grow, what the what!!!!!!

Yesterday they hosted a Fall day, featuring unusal pumpkins & cacti, what is NOT to love.  My phone died while we were there, but thankfully, Nia took some fab shots and our happy day was captured.

BTW don't you just love kids in overalls.  My ninos are wearing Olive Juice and I am telling you the outlet online is AMAZING.  These overalls were just 23.00 bucks each, what a steal!!!!

Happy Fall Days!!!!

Fall Fashion 2015

Lots of folks have been asking about my favorite go to jeans and clogs.  I am happy to let you in on a little secret.  My favorite clogs are Lottas.  I just love them and they are perfect in all seasons.  I wear them with tights to dress them up, but mainly I love to wear clogs with jeans.  When your short you want height where you can get it and clogs are a fabulous solution.  They are comfy, good looking, and give me a lift.  

I have been loving wearing my black Lottas with my new overalls from Madewell, a gift from the Rev. I have also been loving my jeans from Madewell.  I think they make some of the best cuts for ladies who are short.  I love all their fabulous options, and they never fail to go on sale.  

I love my LOTTAS!!!!

MOUSE HOUSE

A few weeks ago I took Sophia for the first time to ABC Carpet.  For some reason I had never taken her, even though I had been to the children's floor a million times.  Each time I enter I am so inspired, and she was too.  So, when we returned home, we had so many fun ideas running though our heads.  We focused on her doll house and reinvented her sweet doll space to a bright and more imaginative space.  I think the space turned out just right for S and her tiny mice she LOVES to play with. 

BEFORE

We decided to neutralize the look of the house.  The bones of the doll house are great, we just needed to update the look and highlight the fabulous furniture the house came with, not to mention other fun little pieces we have collected over the years.  

We began to paint the house pencil gray, neon pink, white, and turquoise.  

As we neutralized the look, Sophia added her own personal touch to the house. The space is coming together and the mice seem very happy.

Kids Decor

I completely jumped on the band wagon of faux taxidermy.  Recently G & I began working on a friend's space and I found the best of the best in way of faux animals.  I know which I would choose…..

I just love the geometric shapes and lines.  BTW I found these on FAB.COM.  If your looking outside of the lines I would head to FAB. 

Which would you choose???

Kids Lighting

Ginger and I are busy working on a friends space.  Today I had the fun job of finding kids lighting for their space.  I just love what I found.  Kid's spaces can be made so cool and modern these days.  I found the most fun light fixtures from Dot & Bo.  

Here are a few favorites……

I love the direction we are headed….

BROOKLYN WEDDING (DUMBO)

This week is filled with wedding prep.  I am really excited the couple loves anything out of the ordinary in terms of texture and look.  We are staying in the green/gray family so that means lots of grasses, dusty miller, and a variety of Dahlias to soften the look. I can't wait to see how it all turns out.  I will be making a few ropes of florals which will be a first outside of Christmas time. I can't wait and I love that they are happy to have anything odd.  What a treat for me, it is always a thrill to step outside of the box.
