Mahjong Anyone?

Southern Living Mahjong Tile Box Set

 

Mahjong, also called mah jongg, mah-jongg, and mahjongg) is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. It is played by four players with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although many regional variations may omit some tiles or add unique ones. American Mahjong uses additional joker tiles.

Seashells

Poolside Anna Conch Clutch

I must admit that I cannot get enough of seashells. I love decorating with them and this summer I have added some wonderful seashell jewelry to my wardrobe. I think my favorite of all are conch shells with their beautiful pink interiors.

In Search of

Greenwich Polo Club

Anyone have any ideas on where this pink and green gingham sundress is from? I love it as well as the raffia striped bag and straw sunhat. I think the bag is Marni. And yes I have already Google reverse image searched the dress with no luck.

A Perfect Wicker Bag

Frances Valentine Pink Wicker Hen Basket

I have been looking for a great wicker handbag and have found it and it is even on sale with free shipping! I love the pink, the chain handle, and the beautiful print interior.

Scallops for the Bathroom

Todd Romano - Veranda

This beautiful chinoiserie bathroom is in Todd Romano's own home in San Antonio, Texas with chinoiserie wallpaper, bamboo matchstick blinds, and an Imari porcelain platter above the door. I love the lilac trimmed scalloped towels - a pretty and unexpected pop of color.

Pretty in Pink

Pink Monogrammed Sunshine Satchel

 

I love this bag. It's like a glam version of an L.L.Bean Boat and Tote with its pink and its leather handles. I would use this for so many things here from the beach, to the farmer's market, to an overnight.

In The Pink

Scalamandre x Mae

I adore pink and wear it all the time. My favorite combination is pink and black - very Chanel and reminds me of my ballet days. This latest collaboration between Scalamandre and MAE follows the very popular collaboration that featured Scalamandre Zebras. This collection features Leaping Cheetah in ultra chic pink pieces.

A Chic Pink & Blue Palette

Jonathan Adler

 

My design aesthetic has definitely changed somewhat since living in Florida. I have really embraced white walls. My house is white stucco outside (Sherwin Williams Alabaster) and white walls inside as well (Benjamin Moore Classic Gray), a warm white. 

Pink & Green Palms

Blush Palms Leila Coverup

 

This darling dress is blush with pink and green palms - and it is on sale. Perfect for here in Florida or for your vacation this summer. A Palm Springs vibe for sure.

Pink Pineapples

Milos Smocked Bandeau Swimsuit

 

I love decorating with pineapples at CCC, so why not pineapples for my wardrobe? This swimsuit is darling with its pink pineapples and I love a strapless suit - no strap marks.

Displaying Lettuce Ware

Leta Austin Foster - Flower Magazine

 

Lettuce ware is highly collectible and has been for decades. Tory Burch has a wonderful lettuce ware collection she did in collaboration with Dodie Thayer's estate. Dodie was an American artisan and entrepreneur and her story is remarkable. Her ancestors helped settle Palm Beach where she taught herself how to mold pottery from lettuce and cabbage leaves.

Legendary hostesses from C.Z. Guest and the Duchess of Windsor to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis collected her signature lettuce ware. Mario Buatta's collection of lettuce ware sold at auction for $48,000.

Setting the Table - A Pop of Pink

Pink Raffia Chargers

 

Pink has always been my favorite color. I think it started with my ballet classes at the age of five and my pink tutus, tights, and ballet shoes. Here are some pretty choices for setting the spring table with pink.

Pink Hydrangeas

Sabrina Top in Pink Hydrangea 

 

Frances Valentine specializes in sourcing vintage prints, most often floral, that I absolutely love. This pink hydrangea print is a new addition to their Spring collection.

Martinique

Mark & Graham x Martinique

 

The iconic Martinique banana leaf was created by CW Stockwell in 1942 for the Beverly Hills Hotel and the rest is history. It has become one of the world's best known wallpapers. A great favorite in Florida, it exemplifies the exuberant Palm Beach style.

Valentine's Day

Harper

I love feathers and have several pieces with feathers in my wardrobe. Harper and I were in HomeGoods yesterday on a little shopping excursion before the puppy's arrival next weekend.

Pink for Christmas

Estelle Colored Glass

 

Red and green are of course classics at Christmas, but there are so many wonderful color choices. I love these colors - a pink tree and pink decanter with pops of blue and green.

Estelle has some gorgeous limited edition pieces for the holidays great for entertaining or for Christmas gifting. I especially love the fuchsia.

Christmas Pink

Julie Vos

 

I think this is wonderful inspiration for the holidays. Of course I absolutely love pink and feathers and statement jewelry. So think outside the box of red and green for Christmas and black for New Year's Eve. I especially like pink for the holidays in warm and tropical climates.

More Pink with Sophistication

Amanda Lindroth

I posted yesterday a stunning and very sophisticated pink dining room by Amanda Lindroth. The entryway above is from the same home. I love skirted tables, but you rarely see a skirted console table. This pink and white ikat one is wonderful. And pink combines so beautifully with blue and white Chinese porcelain.

Amanda Lindroth

 

With the Barbie movie and pink all the rage, I thought it would be fun to post a very sophisticated room featuring pink. This stunning dining room is by Amanda Lindroth. The pecky cypress–paneled dining room was designed around a set of early 19th-century Dufour wallpaper panels depicting Captain Cook’s voyages to the South Seas.
