Jewelry by Aurélie Bidermann: simple yet beautiful

One of my recent obsessions are jewelry boxes. I kind of still regret not having bought this mirrored Zara Home jewelry box I saw in Amsterdam, but I couldn't ignore this : "Why do you need to store your cheap metal jewelry in a box?" Valid question! Since I didn't have an answer to that, my cheapo H&M accessories are still unorganized and I am dreaming of Aurélie Bidermann's simple yet cute and bold pieces...

"Heart" ring, gold

"Body" Necklace, gold plated

"Venenum" ring, gold plated

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: creative work space

Having enough trouble getting started as it is, a depressing home office would make me even lazier than I already am. That's why I love bright, iniviting work spaces that actually would make you want to sit there and work/study etc.

In our new apartment we have a separate room for my desk and my sisters sewing machine and I collected the images below as decoration inspiration.

An inspiration board filled with pictures, motivational quotes and curiosities is an absolute necessity for me. You'll notice that there is an inspiration board/wall of some kind in every office picture I've collected.

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: modified ikea lamp

It’s Wednesday again so this means I’ll be sharing new interior decoration ideas with you. I’m still in the process of settling in and having everything sorted but I already feel at home in our new apartment. In this post I’d like to share with you a do-it-yourself idea my sister did for her new room. Click here to find the instructions on how to do it (Design*Sponge has sooo many more, great source of inspiration for the crafty ones).

Lilly, our cat, always wants to "help" when my sister gets crafty but obviously I’m no help at all. I have even trouble cutting out felt circles... But I’ll make it up in the kitchen, I swear!

Monday's Inspiration

'I have a magpie mind. I like anything that glitters.'

I hope you all had a good start into the week!

Hello March

Hello March, hello springtime! This means it's time to show off your jewelry pieces! Being all wrapped up during winter doesn't give you an opportunity to adorn yourself with beautiful earrings, rings or bangles! I think spring is the best season to combine your wardrobe with accessories - be it a light shawl or a bold necklace combined with an airy top and a blazer.

I'm still sticking to golden jewelry as you can clearly see. My attempt to be more open towards silver items failed - I really hope this will change anytime soon.

I'm really looking forward to the Zurich Bürkliplatz flea market that starts in May. The daring covered wrist below is something I want to try this spring. It would be nice to find some vintage watches and bangles for this look. But maybe I will go for a big silver Tibetan cuff..

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: Jessica Stam's apartment

"In her own words, Stam is "always redecorating" and, every time she is in New York, she stops by Flair in SoHo to see the store's latest selections of antique furniture that she may like. "My apartment will never be done", she says."

Tuesday's Inspiration: Kate Moss

I personally love that Kate Moss channels the looks from iconic women like Marianne Faithfull, Anita Pallenberg, Jane Birkin or Brigitte Bardot. It makes it easier for us to relate to past decades I think.

In any case I love her green little dress and those Longchamp bags.

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: shabby chic china cupboard

A while ago my sister and I picked up a cupboard off the street that some neighbour through out. On the first glance you could see why, it was an ugly brown wood cupboard with wooden knobs but we saw that it had potential and dragged it up to our apartment. Maybe you have already noticed that we have some pretty vintage china my sister recently started to collect (shown here, here and here). Inspired by shabby chic interior decoration style we set out to make this cupboard pretty again, meaning we painted it in glossy white, replaced the old knobs and as a finishing touch covered the insides with vintage looking Paris themed paper.

On a side note, our move is less than a week away!!!

Hongdae

Hongdae is actually a clubbing district in Seoul but there are lots of tiny shops and street stands. Hongdae offers such a unique vibe - there are hardly people over thirty and the area is full of young musicians running around with their guitars. I became so fond of this place..and yes, it is a hello kitty coffee shop ^^

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: Frames

I plan on going frame shopping this evening so I thought I'd share what I have in mind for my place. Since I want most of the rooms to be very bright I think adding darker framed pictures add a nice contrast. Also I want to replace all the gold hues in my current apartment with some cool silver shades!

The Blogs & Coffee print above is from MadebyGirl and probably every blogger out there (or every avid blog reader) totally get the idea. I want a smaller print for my desk but I'm afraid it will keep me from working on my master thesis and make me get another cup of coffee and browse bloglovin'! ^^
