She’s gorgeous, has a quirky sassiness, and holds a melon ball for a belly.  Seriously though, whether you’re pregnant or not, there is just no denying Sydney’s adorable style.  That girl sure wears her baby bump well!

Is she not the cutest??  I’m feeling all baby bump sparkly & inspired.  Check out Sydney’s blog The Daybook to see more.  And major thanks to Eileen from A Creative Day for giving me the scoop on Sydney.  Where have I been??

I’ve long appreciated the designs that Amie Cunningham of Thief & Bandit cranks out.  I recently popped into her shop and was not surprised to find oodles of items that I’m loving.  A lot of you commented on the baby leggings that I included in my last Etsy Favorites Roundup post, so I thought that today I’d highlight a few more of the gems to be found at Thief & Bandit.

Visit her shop to see more.  And pssst, it’s all well priced!

Charleston recently acquired a new design force by the name of Biggs Powell.  I had the honor of attending the opening party of his shop on King Street and was blown away.  I could have pointed with closed eyes and been happy to take home anything.  Well, maybe not the mounted deer heads that I spied (don’t hate me Biggs!), but definitely anything else!

Exquisite, non?  And I’m switching out all of my candle sticks to red asap.  Of course, I shouldn’t be surprised to be so inspired.  Biggs Powell is highly published by some of our favorites such as House Beautiful, Southern Accents, Veranda, and this month’s Elle Decor.
Welcome to Charleston, Mr. Powell.  We’re thrilled to have your oh so finely edited selections here in our city.

I have so been looking forward to sharing today’s Nursery Design Series feature.  Caitlin Wilson is one of my most favorite design bloggers.  You all know this as you might remember my Q&A with Caitlin a few months back.  I then refered to her as a “triple threat kind of girl”, and I still stand by that claim.  Just check out her nursery design below and see for yourself.

Chassity, Thanks for having me on your lovely blog…I wanted to give you a unique nursery design that’s refined, sophisticated, layered, and smart. Since it’s fall- I’m really feeling the rusty tones- camels, plaids, herringbones, leopard, stripes, and lots of texture. I brought in some masculine furniture and balanced it with fun safari/traveling themed accessories and storage. The paper mache antlers are my absolute fav and would love to see them on a grasscloth or wool wallcovering! The chevron fabric for the curtains is from my new fabric line, out mid-October.
Shopping Sources:

Gingham Fabric: Ralph Lauren

Antlers: West Elm
Crib Bedding: Restoration Hardware
Plaid Fabric: Ralph Lauren
Herringbone Fabric: Duralee
Leopard Fabric: F Schumacher

Rolling Crate: Serena & Lily
Chevron in Greige fabric is one of my fabrics that will be available mid-October on Caitlin Wilson Design
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Told you she’s rockstar.  Don’t you just love how well those elements go together?  And you know Caitlin just whipped it up easily.  Such talent.  I, along with the rest of the design world, am SO excited for her fabric line to become available next month.  Thanks so much for contributing your nursery vision here today, Caitlin!

Well I don’t know about you but I was just blown away by Lauren Conrad’s Paper Crown Spring 2012 collection.  Thank goodness I’ll be delivering this baby before the end of the year and will have time to get my body back because Paper Crown = Baby Weight Loss Motivation.

Ahhh, love it.  Don’t you?
