A Southern Fall. Yes, Yes, We Have Us Some Fall
Okay, okay, we'll join in all this fall chatter. Sure we're dealing with ridiculous monsoon-style rains, and we ain't got no leaves turning brown, but who says we can't have us some fall fun? Around here, we're definitely loving us some cobalt blue, definitely dusting off our ankle boots, long sleeve shirts and sweaters, and rocking a stylish umbrella or two, because hey, anything below 90 degrees is fall to us here in Miami people. We take it anyway we can, and don't you dare judge us.
What are my peeps in Texas, California, Arizona and other warm parts of the world rocking this fall?

Stars & Stripes
Stars & Stripes by pretty-little-things featuring american shoes
Cheers to an amazingly fun and festive Independence Day to y'all. I have to work a bit (aarrgh) but best believe I'll be on the BBQ trail by late afternoon.
Here are some fab eye-candy 4th of July inspired rooms to ponder as you watch your waistline grow by just an inch, or two.
Traditional Kids by Chatham Architects & Designers Polhemus Savery DaSilva
Love them all, but how insane is that final room with the boat facade? Holla with your fave and a hint of just how much you ate this afternoon.

Beach Lovin Summer
Summer Lovin' by pretty-little-things featuring sole society
It's 10,000 degrees in Miami, which means we are ever so slowly just melting away. But it also means it's time to hit the beach on the regular; time to slip into some of our sexiest outfits ever, to maintain a fly pedicure to rock the cutest sandals (p.s. I do talk about people who rock sandals with crusty feet so do tighten up with that please?) Anyways, here are some stylish rooms that definitely say summer fun, summer lovin.

I would give anything to spend at least a day on that pink and yellow cottage and I'd definitely pause for a few minutes to drool over that that turquoise table in that very summer chic entryway. What's your fave?
p.s.
I logged into my blogger account this morning and NONE of my blog reads were available. Zero. What the flacka? Maybe I got the pre-July 1 eviction notice from Google? Has anyone else experienced this? Lemme know.
Anywho, since clearly the Google reader service is no more, please be sure to follow us over on Bloglovin so you can see what we're up to each week and vice versa.
* My account had not had enough Redbull this morning when I posted. My reading list is back. Sweet.

Happy Hump Day!

A Black and White Summer Affair
Black and White Summer by pretty-little-things featuring green high heels
I could get a LOT of work done in this cozy little office for sure. How genius was that pop of yellow?
So many fun elements in this room. First, making that striped technique look flawless on a wall with an arch and a built-in? Genius. Then there's a quirky art to balance out all those lines, the bar cart, the marble top tulip table. Can you tell that I really, really love this space?
I love the natural wood here against the starkness of the black and white walls, and hello? Those purple feathers? Amazing touch of whimsy. I'd definitely chill out for a bit that foyer.
Okay, seriously, would you even make it up these stairs? I'd kinda just hang out there for a while because who the hell knew a carpet runner could be so freaking fab and fun? Fabulously juxtaposed with that green and white wallpaper no less. And since I'd be having too much fun here, I'd simply have a seat and read me a book no? I likes this stairway. A lot.
I love both these bedrooms for the same reason. They have the bold element of stripes and yet they feel insanely serene and fun (skateboards on the wall? loves)
Yes, yes, black and white stripes are all the rage this summer. Yours truly even rocked an ensemble at a reggae concert last month. I mean, I gotta stay on trend right?
Well, since we're more about home design than fashion trends around here, of course this means we have to lust after some designs that really rocked out this trend. Let's go.

Hot pink walls next to black and white stripes? I think I'm in love.

The trick to using stripes successfully in design is balance, and I think these designers did a great job of achieving that balance in many ways. Are you living with stripes? Dying to try it or simply over this striped phase? Holla.
p.s. It's gonna be a long night for those of us in Miami and San Antonio. Game 7 of the NBA finals is tonight. It's about to be bananas, especially as all of Miami gets their pots and pans ready to make a whole lot a noise.
Bring it! Let's go Heat!

Let There Be Oxblood
We're still burning up here in Miami, still rocking our flip flops and all white everything, but we're not immune to all the chatter of Fall. I mean, it's everywhere, in particular the newly ordained Fall trend color: oxblood or to the uninitiated, burgundy aka maroon. *Side note - somebody out there makes a killing each year renaming names.
Anywho, oxblood is all over the runway - in jackets, dresses, lipstick, nails, boots, you name it, it's been saturated in said hue.
If it's trending in fashion then of course this color will be popping up in homes across America - via pillows, throws, leather chairs, candles, bedding.

We're on the fence over here on LLD. It's a pretty deep color to incorporate in a warm region, but maybe we can give a nod to a few pieces if used sparingly. Are you jumping on the oxblood band wagon or you already crying next? Is this a color you can see incorporating in your wardrobe or home decor? Or are you like us and giving it some love but only in small doses?
