Boucherouite Rugs

The current craze that is rocking décor is the boucherouite rugs. Guess they are not only beautiful with their lovely colors but also comfortable, especially if your feet touch them first thing in the morning (if one is next to your bed). They look so soft and colorfully extravagant and their timeless designs are just too good to pass. Funky and fun enough to brighten any room these aesthetically irresistible rugs are under my radar, but so far, unfortunately, not on my budget!

Girl Crush #4 Camille Charriere

Camille Charriere, a half French-half British Parisian is the girl to go to for some timeless chic inspiration. Her French side makes her opt for emsembles that are often classic, simple and elegant s whilst her British part goes straight for an accent of bold individual edge to combine with it. Camille was studying law but she gave it up, in order to work in fashion. Today she is a freelance fashion journalist and a blogger. Her blog, “Camille Over the Rainbow” represents her sense of chic and casual style,  balancing classic Parisian with a modern London spin so effortlessly that we know she's a natural.  She also does the barefaced look better than anyone and she looks great on whatever she puts on.

In The Mood For

{the beautiful blooms that emerge from the interspersing of sunshining and rainy days}
Spring showers have been a constant these days, but today the sun has been shining beautifully and an announced spring is fully on its way. I am a sun person, I live for daylight. I feel at my best when the day is bright - a boost of energy and reinvigoration takes over my body and mind and I am most productive and proactive. With the house nicely cleaned and flowers in all vases I'm more than ready to savour the last days of spring break in a blissful low-key weekend to cap off the end of a crazy past weekend of binging and family's back to back get-togethers. Wish you a good one! I'm in the mood for...
