Yes, we are delighted to be styling the fashion event for the first annual "Harbor FashionEASTa Fashion Show" <i>(in Baltimore) </i>on Saturday<i>,</i> and have also been busy working on the beauty bit as well--so fun! We thought you might enjoy a little sneak peek at our creative process, and for those that know me well, you know I love beachy waves <i>(and even rock the look on most days!)</i>. Lately, I have also been loving all the fun braids that have been flooding <a href="http://pinterest.com/bradshawstyling/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><b>my Pinterest</b></span></a> feed. That got me thinking about what it might be like to combine the two. Hmmm...</div>

Another home staging consultation on the books today, and the very first order of business...a little curb appeal! I am thinking a few blooming hydrangeas <i>(peek at some of my favorite gardening designs <a href="http://pinterest.com/bradshawstyling/gardens/">here</a>)</i> might just do in the trick. In the meantime, I'll stick to hardware and heels...</div>

Since my trip to South America <i>(where I snapped a photo of a young women in the most amazing feather headdress...</i><i>now on the gallery wall in my apartment)</i>, I have admired the art of the headdress and the drama they bring to countless editorial fashion spreads, as well as the romance...adorning the head's of some of our own gorgeous brides. For those that know me best, they know I am a sucker for anything gold <u>and</u> starburst-<i>like</i> <i>(insert new company logo <a href="http://bradshawstyling.blogspot.com/2012/02/friday-5_24.html">here</a>!)</i>, so it is no surprise that this image caught my eye. I love her perfectly peachy complexion, bright lip, and bold print. Mix it up with those white branches and you have this...</div>

...this gorgeous room <i>(which also has me swooning for so many reasons). </i> I love the<i> </i>wall color, that table (wow), bold prints <i>(on the pillows and the pottery)</i>, and that chandelier...yes, please! The only change I would make would be to put a gold frame around the kitchen art <i>(surprised? not really)</i>. I think adding something metallic would 1. really make the art pop and 2. bring in a slightly more modern element to the space. I am not really a cook <i>(my friends will get a kick of me saying that "not really" part)</i>, but if the classes were being held here...sign.me.up!</div>

On Friday I took a trip to Bethesda for <a href="http://www.bethesdarow.com/">The Front Row</a> fashion event. The cobblestone streets were transformed into a catwalk, and hundreds of Marland's most fashionably dressed showed up to watch the production. Post event I couldn't help but do a little shopping of my own <i>(<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Urban-Chic-Boutique/266966332888">here</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sassanova/72983381463">here</a>)</i>, </div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>I</b></span></i> feel like spring keeps flying by and before we know it school will be out, the pools will be open, and I will have gotten good wear of out of my summer sandals <i>(currently craving <a href="http://www.us.allsaints.com/women/footwear/allsaints-tain-heel/?colour=18&category=331">these</a>)</i>. The weeks ahead are filled with so many exciting new projects, and <i>(I have to confess)</i> I hope to squeeze in a few weekend's away in between weddings. Speaking of which, I was able to do just that last weekend with a trip to see one of my favorite artists in concert, <a href="http://florenceandthemachine.net/">Florence and The Machine</a>.

Once back in the studio, this project was at the top of my TO DO list, and I am obsessed with this python wallpaper <i>(on right).</i> It will be installed in our client's master bedroom on an accent wall, behind their gorgeous,<i> </i>tufted, leather bed <i>(ordered just last week)</i>. A braided natural fiber rug and a few upholstered pieces will make a perfect intimate seating area in the room. <i>(I still can't get over how good the wallpaper is, and I just love the fact that they are really going for it. </i><i>So.good.)</i></div>

Yesterday morning we were busy with a wardrobe consultation for one of our favorite returning clients. Our design challenge was to find a "black tie appropriate <i>(long) </i>gown for a family wedding in Mexico." She ended up selecting our <i>(personal)</i> favorite, and this jersey gown in mango was indeed the winner. We accessorized with a super skinny<i> (glittery) </i>belt, and it fits her body to.a.tee! </div>

Later today I will be heading <a href="http://bethesdarow.com/">here</a> for a fun evening of "research" in preparation for the June 2, 2012 Harbor East FashionEASTa Fashion Show we are styling in just a few weeks. Tomorrow I hope to start and finish my days here, on the porch, catching up on my reading. I also have plenty of planting to do. The pansies are coming out, and a few more colorful blooms will make their way in.</div>

Have a great weekend, and don't forget to watch the <a href="http://www.preakness.com/">BIG RACE</a>!<br />

I love the shape the beading takes on the front of the dress, and it reminded me of this gorgeous yellow to.die.for headboard in the most delicious, sunny yellow fabric. I would add a cozy area rug in front of the nightstand <i>(I have </i><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70026822/"><i>this one</i></a><i> in my bedroom at home),</i> and a patterned accent pillow or two and call it a day.

Monday's are usually crazy for everyone. The mad dash to get the kids out the door in the morning <i>(sans peanut butter in their hair)</i>, getting back into the groove at the office <i>(while also looking somewhat glamorous)</i>, and then repeating that four more times each week. That being said, it is often hard to find even five quiet minutes a day to ourselves. The lines get blurred with the hustle and bustle of daily life and taking the straight and narrow is not always easy. </div>

<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #d5a6bd; font-size: x-large;">S</span></i></b>ometimes I get obsessed. Yes, it's true. I'm the girl that reads countless fashion and interior magazines in the office, out of the office, while getting a pedicure, in the car <i>(as a passenger of course)</i>, before I go to bed...basically, all the time. Over the years my inspiration "file" has turned into countless bits of inspiration, and I literally have to edit my <i><a href="http://pinterest.com/bradshawstyling/"><b>Pinterest</b></a></i> boards. While I do love color, I also really love the simplicity of white. Mix it with cream and layers of texture and almost every time I am sold. I have a cream sofa in the studio, another in my apartment living room, and a white one in my bedroom sitting area. Each vignette with a completely different look, loaded with pillows, and texture all around. </div>

I'm also a sucker for a mix of pretty patterns on a crisp white canvas, garden party pottery and dining chairs slipcovered in <i>(washable)</i> denim too. Bringing typically indoor elements outside <i>(like lamps and carpets) </i>is a great way to soften any space. A painted porch ceiling and the glow it gives its living space is a detail not to be overlooked. The only change I might make would be adding a few more plants <i>(like <a href="http://bradshawstyling.blogspot.com/2012/04/friday-5_13.html">this</a> one)</i>...something on a larger scale to make you feel like you are relaxing outside.</div>

When I am not working I am daydreaming of my next trip <i>(hopefully abroad)</i> and the options are limitless. I have been to Italy before and loved each minute of it, from the food to the fashion and everything in between. This recent photo shoot from <i>Elle Mexico</i> had me wishing I was visiting Venice<i> (one city in Italy I have yet to see)</i>...with a suitcase of these uber chic travel clothes in tow...certainly not a bad way to go!</div>

Ironically, I took this photo a few weeks prior to this past weekend where I spent most of the day Sunday rearranging my entire apartment. The daughter of an Army officer, I come by the need for change honestly, and so I <i>(very often)</i> rearrange the furniture. The two, blue Ikat chairs are now in a completely different room, and I have relocated my round dining table in front of the window <i>(on right)</i> to take in the gorgeous view of my garden for the spring and summer months ahead. I edited out the coffee table, added in a soft leather pouf, and love being closer to the sunlight in the mornings and my white lights <i>(strung around the two holly trees outside)</i> that glow when the sun goes down. I am so happy to come home at night and just.be.here...in my little oasis, with so much beauty around me. I wish the very same simple happiness for each of you... </div>

The view <i>(and the ceiling)</i> of this room are truly spectacular. This week we've been putting our design plan together for an upcoming "elegant and sophisticated" June bridal shower hosted <a href="http://www.fourseasons.com/baltimore/landing_3/?source=gaw11baltoS05&kw=four+seasons+baltimore&creative=9002618442&KW_ID=sh5WO1b3n%7Cpcrid%7C9002618442">here</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">...<span style="color: lime;">GARDENS</span></span></b></span> <span style="color: #38761d;"><i>(potted that is)!</i> <span style="color: black;">By rule of thumb, we always bring something living into the spaces we design, as well as the pretty parties to which we place our special touches. This injection of nature is particularly fun in city dwellings where one doesn't always see much greenery. Whether indoors or out, potted gardens are a beautiful way to liven up your living and entertaining spaces. Not blessed with a green thumb? Succulents and ZZ plants are the perfect, easy-to-care-for options! Check out some of our favorite potted beauties below...</span></span><br />
