The Nursery Files : Artwork for the Babe

1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Can I let you guys in on a "little" secret?  We haven't bought a single thing for the nursery yet.  You know that crazy mama that is in freakish nesting mode?  Well, I've decided to become the head of that cult.  Alaa is in the process of turning the attic into a guest bedroom so that we can make the guest bedroom the babes room - and ummm I need it done like ASAP.  I'm pretty sure  I'm his worst client yet.  Pregnant wife standing over your shoulder while you work - in your own home -  no bueno.   If I wasn't so nervous the nursery isn't going to be done in time I'd kinda feel bad for him.  Since we don't have the new room ready, the guest bedroom has stayed put for the time being.  Hopefully, this weekend I'll order the crib and figure something out for fabrics and such.  I've pretty much got what I want in mind , it's just I haven't bit the bullet and bought anything yet.  I know that I want a gallery wall in the nursery.  I'm hoping it'll be a mixture of whimsy and fun to keep her inspired.  

Truth be told, I'm just looking for any excuse to put these pieces in my home.

i want a bunny that i can play dress up with


Fifi Lapin.
I'm sure you've heard of her before, no?  The worlds one and only famously, fashionable bunny.  I've had a long time crush on Fifi, but her book used to only be available in the UK - lucky for us it's  now readily available here in the States!  I spotted her book in Barnes and Nobles the other day, and I could barely wait to get home and see what was inside.  

An outfit I can totally see myself wearing :

Yes, please.  I'll take one of each.



Teacup dress anyone?



And as with all things I'm completely smitten with- I bake.  I headed straight to the kitchen and created my own little Fifi cookie.



*squeal!* 
she makes me so happy!

I'm off to find myself a furry little bunny that's willing to be dressed up and talk fashion.

Girl Crush: Bernadette Pascua

I'm sure you've seen her gorgeous illustrations gracing the pages of various ads and blogs.  Combine her airy illustrations with fashion and a hint of quirkiness and you've got a home run.

Not only are her illustrations dreamy..her home is so very covetable as well.





The whole asthetic of this whole is right up my alley.  Not to mention that gorgeous view from the balcony.  Lust worthy, I tell you.

And did I mention that she's only in her late 20's?  Yet another young inspiration.



 See more of Pascua's work & home .
Still can't get enough?  Check out her tumblr.

Gossip Girl : "Spectrum"

So I mentioned before that I've never seen a single episode of Gossip Girl.  Well, now I'm slightly embarrassed proud to say that I've made it through two seasons...in one month.  I'm obsessed.
 (That's an understatement)

I love the artwork in Lily's penthouse.  Especially this one by Richard Phillips.
