This summer we're going to be turning our sights to a new project - home renovation! I've been banking inspiration (for years!) and it will be fun to actually implement some of my long time fantasies for a dream home.One of my latest loves is high gloss floors.photos via greigeI think it gives such a lovely touch of a glamour to a space!

My dears, it's only Thursday, but the gas tank is already running rather low. photo via lanalouWith a wedding reception to prep for, a honeymoon to plan, a regular full time gig, a teething puppy and a new role as a wife, I'm a wee bit drained. I hope you'll forgive me! I'm sure a few cups (gallons?!) of coffee and I'll be good to go - so bare with me. I'll be back shortly...

As summer approaches the typical changes start happening in fashion. The hemlines rise, necklines plunge, things become cropped. As I begin to feel well beyond the age and stage where donning such trends is appropriate, I'm attracted to the skin-is-in alternative - showing off a sexy back.looks by 1, 3 by heidi merrick, 2 boy by band of outsiders, 4 society for rational dressNothing says I'm here

I've discovered another bonus of a destination wedding is the opportunity to throw a hometown wedding reception, which we are doing this Saturday night. Extending the celebration is certainly fun, as is getting to wear my wedding dress a second time! My original plan was to shorten the dress for the reception. I've long been a big fan of the short wedding dress. Just look at this Monique Lhuiller

One of my dream places to visit is Versailles. I never made it during my last trip to Paris and there's nowhere i'd love to visit more, which is why i'm completely in love with these photos by Alix of Cherry Blossom Girl. How lucky to be able to visit such an amazing place! Marie Antoinette's private gardens and precious château just seems like one beautiful, french country daydream, doesn't it?

Turning to the classics is always a fail-safe way to get out the door lookin' good, without having to try too hard.You also don't have to recycle the same look - choose between a trench and skinnies, A timeless wide-leg pant paired with a menswear shirt,Or a simple well cut denim dress in all-American

Ah, the lazy summer days in which I would talk to Tavi on the phone about doing things that never end up getting done, how Demarchelier vomits glitter onto his editorials, and COLLAGES. I miss it.

There is just too much wonderful inspiration and creativity in the wedding world to walk away from it all.While I'm dying to share all the amazingly fun details of our our big day, we're not even done yet.

Recently while looking for some balcony decor I came across this beautiful room over at IKEA. I love the thought of having that many plants in a sunny indoor space, what a great idea! It's not really sunroom, but not quite a regular livingroom... just a wonderful space filled with plants, possibly a spot to sit and read or just relax in front of an open window with a cool Spring breeze.

Tonight at ballet we tried something new called couru, which is basically like taking tiny little baby steps in fifth position and travelling across the stage. We obviously don't have pointe shoes, but it's such an elegant step either way (watch the video below). We also did the arms and a little twirl at the end too. So fun!

One thing I love about the promise of warmer weather is switching from much loved winter darks to bright whites in ruffles, scalloped-trim, eyelet, and lace patterns. There's something about the absence of colour that screams Summer sun, especially while enjoying the outdoors, don't you think?

Since posting that cute Cambridge house, I've been thinking about little garden hideaways. My all-time favourite children's book (Peter and Jane in the Garden) is about a brother and sister who spend a day cleaning up a garden shed and turning it into a playroom. These arbours and gazebos take that fantasy a little further. I especially love the little arbour potting shed in the first image!All

By now most of you have probably seen plenty of photos and videos from the royal wedding of Catherine and William (now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge), but I just can't help myself to post my own little ode to the wedding. Perfectly stunning and elegant in every way, Kate was absolutely gorgeous in her Alexander McQueen dress, wasn't she? Like a modern-day Grace Kelly! I loved her sleeves, the

I was just doing what Darina told me when I bought the butter bats. She says "keep an eye out in antique shops and if you find some, snap them up. A good pair will bring you butter luck." I really would love to try to make butter from scratch! I don't have a pestle and mortar, so that was obviously a must-have.

There are some images that perfectly embody a style that you love, beyond the individual objects or furnishings, beyond the paint colour or the architecture. It's that ineffable thing: mood. When it's right, you just know it. And when you see a room that's got it, you want to step inside and make it your home. Some people try way too hard to capture it. And maybe I'm wrong, but I think if you

My friend Laura brought Donna Hay Seasons all the way back from Australia for me. I have a few different Donna Hay books, but this is by far my favourite.

I was interested in reading Siri Hustvedt's neurological memoir "The Shaking Woman" for a number of reasons: She's a writer I greatly admire (I loved The Sorrows of an American and What I Loved) and her writing is always informed by a solid academic underpinning.
