Two years ago, my girlfriends surprised me with a gorgeous vintage tea set in delft blue with gold trim; it was love at first sight. Delftware, denoting blue and white pottery dating back to 1500’s Netherlands, has long been a source of inspiration in the fashion and design world. The fall 2013 runway saw Valentino resurrect the print beautifully; the same print that he used in the 1968 fall collection that propelled him to international stardom. I’m currently daydreaming of the Étoile Isabel Marant shift above and a summer garden party; the perfect excuse to use my pretty little tea set.

Yes, more florals. What can I say? Spring is in the air, friends! I love this spread from the May 2009 issue of Canadian House & Home on Vancouver-based artist Bobbie Burgers’ Okanagan weekend home. The vibrant yellow fused throughout the clean, modern space, largely through the artist’s own lush, floral canvases, creates an appropriately warm, cheery environment ideal for weekend entertaining in sunny Okanagan.
