Worthy Links: 17.05.13


Do you ever go around your blogroll and notice a few really strong trends? I normally notice them to an extent, but the trends in my blog roll were especially obvious this week, and I have to say I like what I saw: this week was all about the countryside, white on white, and Joie clothing (did you know that Joie means joy in French). I could happily see these delightful trends through the summer, driving around the countryside in my white on white Joie outfits. Anyone with me?

I'm kind of dying to try this ancient Moroccan makeup trick.

Miles Redd's Fire Island retreat. How do I get an invite?

Bailey launched a new season of Biscuit bedding.

I can't help but dream of owning a pair of L'Icona.

Erika shared her super adorable daughter's room.

Happy weekend everyone!

Delightful Daily: Perfectly Bohemian


Beauty in the Details: Mark D. Sikes' Beautiful Backyard (Again)


Are you sick of me sharing photos of this house yet? Truth be told, I’m a little embarrassed at the amount of times I go back to Mark D. Sikes’ house. I can only justify this by saying I have never been this obsessed with how meticulously perfect a house is. And I’m not saying that in the manicured sense. I mean it’s 100% my taste: part classic American, part French provincial, part California cool. All in a coherent and well-packaged interior. And the best part of the house: the backyard, obviously.  So it should come as no surprise that when I need a little backyard inspiration, I turn to this one.

Backyards here in Montreal are a double-edge sword. You can either hate the fact that you have to start from scratch every year, or you can take it as an opportunity to do better than the year before, to improve and to reinvent. Personally, I like the latter point of view. Which is why I'm drawing inspiration from Mark's backyard to give a few exterior ideas on Damask & Dentelle.
