look at lonny!
this month’s issue of online design magazine, lonny, is definitely my all-time favorite to date, and it’s certainly not one to miss! i think it could be all that bohemian british flair and vintage-inspired design inspiration in this issue of lonny that’s pulling at my decorating heart strings. lonny features include beautiful home tours of both rachel ashwell and cath kidston, and their insider vintage shopping tips around london. here’s a sneak peek, but be sure and read through the entire issue of lonny right here. simply brilliant!

pure green.
there’s a brand new online magazine and it’s just launched its premier issue — pure green living, edited and compiled by Celine MacKay, also of the blog pure green. the magazine was inspired by celine’s hope to share her belief that good design doesn’t have to come at such a high cost, environmentally speaking anyway.
The premier issue features work from Simply Grove, Dottie Angel, Knack Studios, Poppytalk and many others — an online community, sharing eco style design picks, new products and ideas, DIY projects, green homes, travel, organic recipes and more. pure green living will feature a strong undercurrent of handmade culture; support small businesses and features green designers from around the world. You can view pure green living online here.

stealing style: ikea.
vases (from $4.99), via ivy style33.
so, i have a bit of a love-hate relationship with ikea. on the one hand, i don’t think many of us are too fond a mass-produced items. i like found, unique, one of a kind objects. but one the other hand, ikea has some wonderfully Scandinavian and stylish designer items at prices that are hard to beat. i don’t want everything-ikea, all the time, but i do like a dash of their decor items here and there, mixed with other unique and eclectic, vintage-inspired home furnishings. here’s some great and affordable design ideas courtesy of ikea.
