I know many of you have been following phase two of Abby’s Inspiration Board Contest at Style Me Pretty. Voting has begun and will close on Friday so be sure to vote!

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, guys. Summertime at work is always heavy. Can you believe we’ve just started Christmas advertising?!

Clicking through Apartment Therapy today, I saw that my fave Eva Zeisel (Who celebrated her 100th birthday last November!) has just designed a coffee table for DWR. Classic Eva Zeisel… Love those flourished forms. I wish I had an extra $1,500 around since it’d complement my Zeisel/KleinReid print beautifully.

I love these lanterns… so adorable for an outdoor patio, centerpiece, or even lined up along a pathway. There’s something lovely about lanterns made of white porcelain. They’re available at Room Service Home, a great resource for unique décor items.

I know, I know, I should just start an entire new category devoted just to Rachel Roy. I shall resist. I shall, however, share with you the pre-fall 2007 collection that is now available for view on her site. (Along with Pre-Spring 2008… my, my Ms. Roy you’ve been a busy girl.)

I can’t deal with looking at next spring’s clothes right now but I am feeling kind of sheepish to admit I am already thinking about the fall. I am newly obsessed with dresses and the dresses shown for Rachel Roy’s Pre-Fall are kind of perfect. My favorite from the selects above is the Karolina Trench. A girl can dream…

Gorgeous work at Two Paperdolls. I particularly love how they show lots of elements from the weddings such as calligraphed place cards and designed drink coasters.

I love the delicate intertwined pendants from jeweler Ginette NY. I keep meaning to visit the boutique downtown but haven’t made it quite yet. For now, I admire the work on ShopBop. These pendants say “Joy” and “You” in 14-carat gold. A co-worker has a personalized monogram of her initials and it is so gorgeous… The personalized pendants are smaller than the ones above but still as delicate. Such a perfect gift.
