This Inspires Me

On a recent trip t o J Crew,  I saw this belt
OK,  you could do this to a belt....then I popped into Anthropologie, and saw these sandals

 Hmm, guess the string thing is hot.  A quick click over to Etsy, and I fell in love with these

Pagoda Time!


If you have not guessed by now...I love pagodas! To me, they say "happy chinoiserie". Pagodas add that extra touch of whimsy to a room. As my blogger friend  Jessie, from the blog Mix and Chic, says...."the global eclectic look is so chic these days".

Here are some of my pagoda favorites from Etsy....of course!

This will take a while to decide, but I do love them. I think every room should have a bit of the unexpected whimsy. Do you have an animal of any kind in your room? I would love to know!
