{Eclectic yet Intriguing}

I wanted to show off this eclectic vintage home I came across on Living Agency. 

It is located in the beautiful South of France.

{Bucket List}

We all have our Bucket List of things we want to do, things we want to accomplish, and places we want to see before we die. My list consist of myself and my family traveling allot before I go. 

Right now, I am obsessed with going to Morocco. Marrakesh to be exact. Why? 

I fell in love with a hotel retreat called Peacock Pavilions, owned and operated by an Interior Designer/Photographer wife, Chicago born Architect husband, and their two kids. 

Maryam {wife} is also a author of an award winning blog, My Marrakesh and recently published a coffee table book about Moroccan interior design. 

The other reason {there is always more than one reason, right?} I want to go see this magnificent place is, I am infatuated with 

Vintage Moroccan Beni Ourain rugs and Vintage Moroccan wedding blankets. 

I dream of having one in my living room and one laying across the bottom of my bed. 

I could always just order a rug from Maryam's shop Red Thread Souk but that would not be the same. 

I want to be able to go shopping at the Medina, scour through tons of unique, one of a kind rugs, touch them, smell them, and imagine it laying in my living room. *Swoon*

Here are a few pictures of the inside grounds at the Peacock Pavilions. 

I couldn't stop drooling the first time I saw these pictures. Maryam has one AMAZING design eye!

After doing extensive research on Peacock Pavilions and following My Marrakesh. I recently found a old blog post on Decor8 where Holly Becker described her experience in Marrakesh. 

Where her and a dozen others got to attend a bloggers retreat at Peacock Pavilions {shown above}. 

A place she will never forget! She had the opportunity of having Maryam be their guide throughout the 8 day stay in Morocco. They were able to ask Maryam question after question, have her take them shopping, to the best Moroccan restaurants and experience Marrakesh to its fullest. 

Sounds like it was one amazing trip!! A trip I hope to go on once in my lifetime.

This is definitely going on the top of my list. *Drool

What's on your Bucket List? 

{Vintage Style for Rent}

We all love a styled wedding that shows off a couples style through amazing design.
In this case, we start the story out with a particular venue, The Smog Shoppe. We all know this venue has incredible vintage character and with just the right touch of decor it sets the stage for a stylish vintage wedding.
This bride and groom hit it out of the park!
You could not get a more uniquely creative couple, Amanda a lush bohemian in a Watters bridal gown and Mike a clothing designer who has his own line, Beta Unit. He is wearing one of his own designs.
How cool is that?
 This couple project a natural uber chicness that we all wish we had.
The two set out to find the right accents that would compliment this one of kind venue.
They headed over to Casa de Perrin, where they fell in love with their unique collection of vintage flatware, vintage rugs, and vintage assorted bottles. They were going for a Vintage Bohemian, 1970's, laid back, look and feel. I personally think they nailed it! *swoon*
The vintage seating and accent pieces came from San Diego vintage rental company, PowWow Rentals.
 All of this amazingness was shot by photographer, Trine Bell. {Love her work}

Cake: Vanilla Bake Shop Caterer: Huntington Catering Company

YES, YES, and Yes!!

{I want}

H&M US to launch the HOME line.
I am jealous that Europe gets to order stylish home pieces at H&M prices.
I want to get a gold sparkly pillow for $6.99!
They were supposed to launch the HOME at the end of 2011 but that didn't seem to happen so I am crossing my fingers for 2012. 

If I had to translate my look into H&M pillows it would look like this.

What would your look be?

{GO BOLD or GO HOME}

Don't you just love it when you see BOLD designs used in unexpected places? 

I know, I do!

Until, I came across a post on one of my favorite blogs look, linger, love, where Chassity wrote about this shoe of the month club and how it works{she was a member}.
Needless to say, I was so excited to have found info on this club that I had to post about it.
You are all probably wondering, "What & Who's shoe club are you talking about???" 

JCREW! That's right you heard me. JCrew's shoe of the month club but the only way to find out is by calling them directly or by being referred from a club member. 

Once a month you get a surprise on your door step, exclusively selected by your very own JCrew stylist.
So for all you shoe addicts out there, this is the club for you!
