Look Linger Love

Happy Friday!  Last night we attended the opening night of Charleston Wine + Food Festival.  I apologize for my late morning posting, but after tasting food and wine from 25 of the best restaurants in town, I’m running a little slow this morning…

Luckily though things aren’t slow over at All Things Bright & Beautiful.  Aubrey’s hosted a week long series featuring bloggers houses and how they make their’s a home.  She was sweet enough to invite me to participate.  So head over to see some things from around our home.  Like this…

I’ve been working on a project post for my friend Brie over at Cotton & Cane.  She asked me to take one article of clothing from my closet and come up with a few different outfits using it.  What I love about this is that I do this all the time.  Don’t we all?  I love shopping my closet and finding new ways to wear items.  Well today I’m going to share the top that I decided not to use for her post.  It’s the Puff Sleeve Sweater by Free People and it’s very lightweight for spring.  I absolutely adore it.  It’s available in a few colors.  I {so far} have it in grey.

Since I’m using pieces from my closet these collages won’t be as pretty as the polyvore arrangements, just keeping it real.  Oh, and I tried to stay basic or this project would have taken more time than I had.  So keep in mind they need the fun extras, like jewelry, bags, jackets, scarves, hosiery…

Has me reeling.  I absolutely adore it.  I would push it up against a wall and prop some art on that beauty. 



Today’s guest is from one of the most gorgeous blogs you’ll encounter.  Linda of Simply Seductive has a way with words and exuding subtle style.  I pretty much leave her blog in a trance like state of mind on a daily basis.  And I’m honored to introduce Linda here today as the next guest in the “designer’s favorites” series.  Trust me, you’re in for a treat.  This one is one of my favorites.

{Hello, Linda here from Simply Seductive. It is a pleasure to be part of Chassity’s wonderful guest feature. Following are just a few of my favourite things around our home… enjoy, xo}

{I simply love this rug. We bought it for our current home and it graces our living room… the colors, the print and the size is perfect.}

{this capriz shell chandelier was bought almost seven years ago, and I still admire it.  At the time, it was quite a feat to have it imported from my sister-in-law’s American cousin before the style became trendy.  I’ll go to great lengths to get something I want!}

{although I love stripes, especially black and white, this photograph is really about the brass stool that my husband and I purchased at an antique store for a mere $30.00.  I plan to recover the seat soon.}

{recently purchased lovely gray Mongolian wool pillows from Haute Look.  They look great on our ivory leather Barcelona chairs.}

{I truly adore this painting, a gift from my husband’s aunt who was a former Canadian foreign official, working in Senegal, Africa for many years… we visited her and had the most wonderful two-week vacation!}

{recently took up cooking since becoming a vegan last March and received this long-time coveted cookware for my birthday in September.  Cooks absolutely lovely.}

{p.s. Thank you, Chassity for reaching out to me and for including me to be part of your lovely blog!}

I told you it was a good one.  Aren’t her loves divine?  I adore that she went to such lengths to have that capriz shell chandelier.  And the copper cookware is absolute art.  I’m way too intimidated to have such a set.

Thank you so much to Linda for stopping by today and sharing a peek into her home.  Be sure to visit her blog, Simply Seductive.  Prepare to be seduced.
