London based and Florida born photographer Kristin Perers trained as both a fashion designer and painter before she got in to photography and styling, and I think it shows in some of her photos. She has a way with lines, textures and layers that could easily transcript to a dress or a painting.
Kristin is also the author of the book Seasonal Home. I find her pictures very calming and soothing for the mind and eye, a treasure in this stressful world we are living in, and would love to cuddle up on my couch with her book and a cup of tea...

The A/W 2008 catalogue from Toast is up on their site, and check out the gorgeousness! Rich colours, lots of layers, great photography and as always fabulous styling!

Even if you don't have kids, the childrens fashion and lifestyle online magazine Small will give you lots of inspiration for fall. Many of the outfits would look just as good on an adult, and the photos and illustrations will get your mind spinning for sure. In the new issue of Small Magazine you will find some cool illustrations by Jayme McGowan and Ryan Berkley, beautiful fashion shot by photographer Grant Cornett and to top it off, polaroids by Jen Gotch!

Hanna Nyman makes the most innovative and fresh wallpaper I've seen for a very long time. Interactive, three dimensional and stunningly beautiful!

I just found this new Barcelona based online shop for vintage furniture and interior details, called Limonclaro. The photos are great and the items for sale are beautiful!

These are actually my favorite blog posts, totally free to show you whatever I want! Once I find a nice picture I just go from there to build a theme around it. Sometimes I end up somewhere totally different than I thought from the beginning, and that is one of the things I love most about composing these posts... Today I was thinking about morning routines, inspired by one of Holly's posts about how to relax when you work from home, over on the simply stated blog.

And I'm happy to see that it seems you like the Saturday Sweets posts too, as they usually get quite a lot of comments!

I don't know why, but lately I've been thinking a whole lot about party decorations. Unfortunately, we don't have any upcoming birthdays in the family, but hey, you can throw a party anyway, right? Just because it's fun! Below are some pictures that gets my head spinning...

My sweet friend Holly at Decor8 is arranging a blog meet in Amsterdam on September 5th, and I would like to invite you all to join us there!
It's going to be a bunch of bloggers, and blog readers, having cocktails and chatting excitedly about anything and everything and probably a little bit about blogging and design too... If this sounds like something you would enjoy, please come along! I know it's going to be a lot of fun, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing Holly, Danielle and Sia again, and meeting new interesting people!

If you want to join us, just contact Holly here, so we know you are coming!

I would like to show you a little of what I have in my private inspirations folder, pictures that inspire me when I'm decorating my own home. Lately I've been thinking a lot about what to do with the piles of used clothes that magically appear everywhere around the apartment. Perhaps hanging them on the wall would be a good solution?
