the eclectically modern bohemian's shopping guide

arlo panorama sofa...gee whiz...talk about drama in a room.

chien coffee table. no barking. no whining. just cuteness. and maybe a hint of eclectic creepiness.

piave swan rug. swans seriously kill me every time.

if you already have the swan rug then go big or go home. get the matching {themed} light shade lamp.

the atley bedding makes you feel like you're sleeping on fine china - who wouldn't want that?! 

bunnies are a must. swinging hare door knocker got me mighty excited.

bohemian to the max :: olumes rug ottoman

i call this abstract craft/mid-century modern. yep. i need it. dynamic sphere chandelier.

fellow frenchie xavier dumont creates my wildest nouveau dreams with these chairs.

looks dangerous but i'm willing to try. barnwood hanging bed.

i'll be putting these on every cabinet in sight. swirl knobs.

rustic to the max. i like my furniture looking decades old. duh. reclaimed boat bench.

for my spare bedroom or when i feel like sleeping on heavy saturated color which very well could be every other night. ipomoea quilt.

bhldn :: the exquisite bridal room

when i arrived at bhldn last thursday for the tracy reese event, i was pretty sure i'd died and gone to heaven. this was especially true when i found the gown room within. i have never been surrounded by so many frocks at one time!

here are just a few photos of my favorite details. talk about exquisite.
i've never been one to daydream about my wedding,
but with bhldn around, it certainly makes a girl begin to fantasize...

see more photos from the event here and here.

BHLDN :: a bridal boutique at its best

hello everyone!
are these pictures insanely gorgeous or what?!

this past week i was invited to attend a fashion show for tracy reese at the BHLDN shop in chicago. i was so excited to be there because i have been a longtime fan of tracy reese's designs. i will have more pictures of her items from the show to come but i have so many pictures i wanted to show you that i had to split it up into parts. this one showcases the boutique itself. next will be the exquisite bridal gowns and room at BHLDN and finally tracy reese's pieces.

but for now, just relish in these lovely pictures. quite honestly, you don't need a reason to visit BHLDN - there were tons of decor accessories i would put in my home for everyday use, there were plenty of dresses at reasonable prices that i would wear every day and so many beautiful pieces of jewelry that i would collect and cherish for decades.

if you have the chance to visit a BHLDN boutique, i strongly encourage you to do so. you will be in awe the entire visit!!

wall candy :: claire desjardins for anthropologie

ever since i received the new anthro catalogue, i have been obsessed overly enthusiastic about claire desjardins abstract artwork. the bright colors, bold brush strokes and overall warmth and excitement of each piece definitely entice me to shell out $900-$2,700 buckaroos to call one my own.
