Converted

What was once a garage is now the world’s coolest workspace. Would you ever be starved for inspiration in a place like this? Nope.

Would you ever be able to get away with a roofless building in Vancouver? I’m not even going to answer that.

Dreamy

Dreamy. Dreamy. Dreamy.

This shot makes me want to pack up and head out on the road in an old Mustang. Destination? Coachella! Which I am so, so, so excited to go to.

Too bad I’m already hitched

Because if I weren’t, I’d go all out and commission Tulle Box Designs to make my wedding favours. And not just because it’s run by my friend (yes, I am shamelessly friend-plugging).

Warmth! Colour! Summer!

Not here, mind you. But in Australia. Where one of my favourite magazines (Vogue Living Australia) features Kelly Wearstler’s gorgeous L.A. home.

On the half shell

Unlike my sister-in-law Jaclyn, who has her jewelry neatly displayed, I strew my rings and things all over the house.
