Office part 2

I keep on finding offices in my files, and probably I a bit nuts with offices at the moment.
I think it´s such a great place to decorate, and if you feel happy in your office, probably it doesn´t hurt thatmuch paying the bills right?

Erika´s lovely office


                               Office Gallery Wall
I am still in the mood of seeing pretty offices and when one of the blogs I follow, Erika of Small Shop, posted her office I had to share. This girl has excellent taste and has well decorated and organized her office. See that amazing colourfull painting, she has purchased it from Erin Ashley at etsy! Some of other paintings are made by her and her babygirl. I also like her vintage golden mushroom lamp a lot.

                          Pretty right? Go and read her blog, she tells you where she got her lovely things from.

                        

Summer favorites




The sun is shining and the time has come to prepare ourselfs for the beach! I have a few spring/summer favourites to show you. My most favorite summer scent, Creed Virgin Island water, is so dreamy and makes you feel you are on holidays everyday even when sitting in your office, you can smell  like a chic tropical holiday with white sanded beaches, palmtrees and with the clear blue water! Can you imagine that?

chacha
And for the lips and cheeks I like this colour, Benefit Cha Cha tint, eventhough the best tint is for free...
sunbathing and being happy gives you rosy cheecks and your skin the best glow! Be carefull sunbathing, use a good protection not to get a sunburn or damage your skin.

On the nails an Essie nailpolish, Coral Caroussel.

Panama hat
To protect your hair from the sun wair a hat like this panama hat from J crew, you saw them everywhere last year, I´ll still be wearing mine! Or a nice floppy straw hat for elegance.

I loved this bandeau top of Brazilian bikini brand Cia Maritima. They make lovely bikinis, to see the catalogue here with the dutch model is Sylvia Geersen.

I will wear my beach outfits always with Havaianas slim flip flops, I am addicted to them in the summer.
O summer love! What are your spring/summer favorites?

lovely work space


Whenever in the mood  for organizing my own office (yes it´s a mess again) I like to look at other pictures to give me inspiration. Like these offices, they are very differeny yet all beautifull.
Some you might recognize, they have passed by at various occasions at other lovely blogs.






I can´t trace back my sources, as these were saved in a file. If this is your picture please let me know.

Beau loves Tom Dixon´s copper shade pendant lamp

This one is a favorite of mine, ever since I have seen it on other blogs, I would love to decorate someone´s house with this lamp.
Patric Johansson for Skona Hem
I also like the whitefloor and black cowhide, mostly it´s the other way around and the goyard wallpaper
in the kitchen is pretty too!



This lamp will do in any kind of decoration, as I call it a mad men style, modern style, electic style...it´s so versatile. Also that the colour is copper (and not gold or silver) is attractive.
