Happy Weekend + A French Tree House

8 November 2008

Wouldn’t you like to spend the weekend in a tree house?

The designer and builder, La Cabane Perchee, writes on its site:

“The whole idea is to relive our childhood dreams of building tree-houses. This is a dream that we all had, as a child or later in life… Living high in the trees to observe, to read or write, to listen to music, to feel well, to dream, sometimes to be alone and sometimes to love.”

Well said.

Inspiration Board #4: Teal, Yellow, and Black

7 November 2008

My second entry was also posted today. You can check it out on Style Me Pretty here, under “Little Black Dress, VII.” Abby, the creative force behind SMP, has put up 10 boards today – and they all look great!

I’ll let you know if she posts any more info about voting, but in the meantime, be sure to check back often to see the rest of the boards.

Inspiration Board #3: Punch, Blush, and Green

7 November 2008

I’ve got another inspiration board for you, and another contest to check out! Here’s what Abby at Style Me Pretty had to say about her most recent challenge:

“So now for the good part. We are having ANOTHER contest! It will debut after our DIY contest and the winner will receive a $300 gift certificate to the store of your choice. Here’s the deal. You have to find your favorite LBD and come up with a chic, innovative palette to compliment it. Get creative, because anything goes.”

Check out the other details here.

I submitted two boards using the same Ralph by Ralph Lauren little black dress. Here’s the first, with bright pops of punch, blush, and green to complement the black.

I was so excited to see that she posted both of my boards as finalists today! Go here to see the first board on SMP – the post title is “Little Black Dress, V.”
