So let’s begin the story here. Because she’s pretty and is dressed enviably. I saw this picture and quickly put myself to the task of hunting down a similar belt.

I found this brass belt. Bingo.
UPDATE: Thanks to Gaby I found this brass belt on ASOS and bought it. I mean for $26 might as well try…
Then I saw this picture.

And immediately went out and bought more lipstick. Because you can never have too many bright ass lipsticks. I guess some would disagree. But not me. My latest lipstick obsession? Urban Decay’s Super – Saturated Hi Gloss Lip Colors. OMG. They are bomb. My two new colors are Punch Drunk and Crush. The girl who rang me up said she can’t get enough of Crush, and also loves FBomb. The name is enough for me. I might order it too.
Upon seeing this next picture I decided to start on one of my resolutions, and invited friends over for meatball subs over the weekend. I used this recipe for the sauce and this alfredo recipe (to pour over the top of course). I totally just used frozen meatballs because I don’t have that much time on my hands. It was delicious and a grand time was had by all. 

Later I spied this rug and immediately clicked over to eSaleRugs and made a purchase taking advantage of their 50% off sale. Unfortunately this rug was already sold.

  But I snagged this one :)

Lastly, I saw this embroidered closet by Allison Watkins and am smitten smitten. I now dream of her making one for me.
Whew. I’m exhausted :) Happy Monday, Everyone.

Today I’m sharing the final design in the Nursery Design Series.  I’ve really enjoyed this little series and have been so moved by all the time and effort that each designer has put into these rooms.  I hope that this is a place that you all can come back to and draw inspiration when planning your own rooms (for kids or otherwise).

So for our final contribution, Marysia Reeves has dreamed up a masculine space to share with us.  Some of you may be wondering why I invited a swimwear designer to contribute to this interior design series.  Trust me when I say that she would be just as successful designing interiors as she is in fashion.  And I’m honored to share her take on Baby Evans’ nursery with you all today.

6. OEUF Sparrow crib that nicely converts into a toddler bed.

Perfectly masculine and hip, agree?  So let’s see, accomplished swimwear designer (my favorite one in fact, check out her online shop HERE), great at designing interiors, and a model in Lucky Magazine’s November issue.  Wait, you haven’t seen it yet?  Oh yes, Marysia has a 4 page spread in there and let me tell you it is BEAUTIFUL.  I want everything that she’s wearing, especially the Walter Baker coat.  You simply must pop over to Marysia’s blog to see the post she just shared about the experience and to see some of the amazing photos.  And Marysia, thank you so much for sharing this space with us today.

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.

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!

One of your very favorite bloggers is visiting here today sharing her own spin on Baby Evans’ abode for our Nursery Design Series.  I’m an avid reader of Jen’s blog, Made By Girl, a fan of her Made By Girl print shop, and am now a die hard fan of her custom painting shop Cocoa & Hearts.  Like, I drool over every piece she turns out.  I got to meet Jen in person while attending Blogfest in NYC in May, and let me tell you that she’s as beautiful and sweet as she appears to be on your computer.  I say this in the most sincere girl crush kind of way :)
