Hello, hello. I've missed you all. I am not going to sugar coat it, life can be scary and sad. I wasn't up for much blogging last week but I think it is also a good distraction, so I am back at it today. Work is also going very well, so that is a positive......Here are some of my top pins from the past couple of weeks! Thank you for stopping in, have a great day. xoxoxo

1.  THIS. I am guilty of it. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, so try to see the positive, be thankful for the good, enjoy the ride, stay strong for others you love and get through the sad with your tribe. 

2. I am a high-low outfit gal and clearly am loving graphic tees under blazers. The sneaker fad is A-Ok with me too. 

3. The front of house rehab is finished (except for the high gloss door). Thanks to my rockstar Dad for doing all the work!!!! I had a HUGE tree fall in my front yard during a wind storm last night, I am so thankful we are okay and that it missed the house. I am contemplating adding window boxes, so I can do this!!

4. The calming blues in this Mark D. Sikes living room are what I need right now.

5. I'm a big fan of art and discovering new artists. Vicki Sher's creations are very cool, including this mixed media one. 

6. I mean how can you not like these holiday earrings?? Even the name is yummy - The cotton candy earrings. 

7. I tend to like at least one piece of clothing with a little "wow" factor. I've been eyeing this sweater for a while now!

Jessica Agnew's hand beaded earrings - Interior Design 2016

The Hand beaded earrings of Jessica Agnew

I have been following Jessica Agnew on Instagram for a couple of years. One of my insta-girl crushes since i discovered her via her interview with the wonderful Golddust collective. I had known of her as a potter and a musician but all of a sudden I became aware of her beautiful beaded earrings and it has been so great to see such a special persons work become really popular.

Now these stunning pieces are selling like hotcakes, and it is so much deserved but you have to be quick to get your hands on a pair.....

Jessica's work can be found via her webpage Canyon and the Creek and more regular updates can be found via her Instagram page @Jessica.lynne_

Moon to Moon : Smudge Sticks by Catherine Rising

So I have been absent on and off for a while. Work, motherhood, infertility and the very recent breakdown of my relationship with my partner have all been contributing factors..... life can be really fucking intense!!! Whilst caught in the intensity it can be so hard to take a step back and remember who you are, make time for looking after yourself and forget the importance of the things you enjoy doing just because.

Plants are magic magazine ... issue 2 out now... get yours here

Many times over the last few months I have sat here staring at the computer and thought "today i will compile a blog post" but the inspiration just wouldn't come. I would look at picture after picture of beautiful homes but began to feel nothing. Totally caught in a rut. I have toyed  for months with the idea of making Moon to Moon more of a lifestyle blog but been scared by the idea that readers come here for interiors and would no longer come here if it changed...... but actually (as much as i totally appreciate the loyalty of my magnificent readers) it is my place to come and chill. My mood board created initially to help me get through the stress of my nurse training.

Fentimans & Bloom's Gin and Rose Lemonade

This will never be a proper lifestyle blog. You aren't going to hear the ins and outs of my life, see pictures of my son modeling big brands, or cheesy images me endorsing hoovers etc... but I am going to share more of the beautiful things that I find along the way that I want to share and remember. Independent labels, handmade, homemade and thrifty finds.

On this post are some of the images I have shared on Instagram over the last few months of items that I have enjoyed or spotted :)

Thank you to those of you who have messaged and keep coming back

Love the Look - Interior Design 2016

Good Morning! I wasn't able to share last week's look I am adoring, so I'm kicking off Monday with my usually mid week post! You all know I am a big fan of the high-low combo. It's also a good idea to never look like you are trying too hard. (wink wink) Alexa Chung has this idea down! Here she perfectly combines a dressy blazer with simple jeans. She chose the perfect pump to finish off her outfit. I also included my go to lipstick . Can you stand how adorable that Hillier Bartley bunny purse is?

**I've shared a high and lower priced pump option.

What would sister parish do? - Interior Design 2016

I am often inspired in some way by the past with aspects of my interior designs. A nod to the classics instills a home and a design with something authentic and inviting. The design firm of Parish-Hadley continue to be a source of inspiration for me. They were masters at infusing homes with traditional and modern elements. Earlier today, I was pulling together a fabric design scheme (this has always been one of my favorite aspects of design) and I realized I needed a slightly preppy, somewhat bohemian print to complement the look. Who did I turn to? The Sister Parish collection of hand silk screened designs on eco friendly fabrics. Here is a sampling of prints that embody the Parish-Hadley style that I have come to appreciate so much. Sister always believed in supporting American artisans and companies. Here is a sampling of their prints, they are available printed on fabric or wall-coverings!

Perfect!!

Cottage Love #60 - Interior Design 2016

I can't believe I have shared sixty smaller scale homes with you over the past nine years or so!! I'm still drawn to the coziness and comfort of a cottage style home, so I'll continue to share, share, share the goodness!  Fabulous things can come in small packages. Here's a peek at this month's fave cottage! It's the summer home of blogger Will Taylor and his husband. They did a fabulous job on the revamp..see all the details on Will's site Bright Bazaar. The nautical and clean masculine details are perfect!! (it makes me want to clean my house later today!)

Shelter Loves.. - Interior Design 2016

Hello Friday, it's always nice to see you! It's been a busy week and I've been fighting a damn cold. I am drinking my third cup of tea today as I type this. 'Tis the back to school season I guess. With that said, I am getting excited for all of the upcoming holidays. It's a hectic but fun time of year. October is full of birthdays in my family. (including my own) and it kicks off the celebrating. I'm not a huge Halloween person, my kids complain that we don't have any scary decorations out front or around the house...tough life they have! Here's what I've got the "feels" for this week! xx

1. French dressing (as I have mentioned before). I spent some time checking out all the street fashion during the "Fashion weeks" around the globe, I think Paris was my fave. I mean, look at her!! This image further confirms that my simple hair style is OK! I do own a fat barrel iron and adore the pretty curls but more often than not I don't have the time to fuss with it all. I am more of a messy bun, loose pony kind of gal.
2. Okay, I don't want to bore you with all my sweater talk, but I can't deal with itchy clothing. This one is adorable and I promise it's not scratchy!
3. I think I need these sneaks in my life!
4. I'm kind of obsessed at seeing how interesting people live. New York - Behind Closed Doors by Polly Devlin and Ann Schlecter, shares unique peek behind twenty four dynamic New Yorker's homes.  . 
5. We are hosting Thanksgiving this year! If I can get it together, I'll even share a look at my table setting. I am drawn to interesting layered table settings. This one hosted by Jenna Bush Hager caught my eye last weekend. The beautiful menus were created by Poppy Cox Ink. 
6. Last year as some of you may recall I dressed as Wonder Woman for Halloween, this year I am keeping it simple and am dressing as a stylish black cat. This kitty mask will perfectly finish off my costume. 
7. No one is you!! I love this.
8. I was searching for client art pieces this week and came across the work of Joanne Ho. Her whimsical drawings and water colors draw you in with their saturated color and attention to detail. Joanne will paint commissioned pieces.

Love the look - Interior Design 2016

Let's be honest, how often do you get very dressed up anymore? I am not saying I never dress up, I do from time to time. I think back to my 20's and I am sort of happy I don't have that dry cleaning bill anymore!! Granted I had some gorgeous clothing back then and always looked really chic but my life style and fashion in general has changed over the years. I do get dressed up to go out and for most of my client meetings but when working from my office or running my kids all over creation, I well, prefer looks like this! Cheers to that and to fall fashion!! This is a really simple outfit but it still looks pulled together! kiss kiss...

#2 - these will be mine soon!
#3 - is the perfect size bag. I splurge on bags because I keep them for years!
#4 - These are a good price and staple.

Color Crush October : PINK - Interior Design 2016

I took a summer break from my "color crush" series but I'm bringing it back!! It's no secret that I LOVE color and usually use it thoughtfully in my interior designs. I've brought back this monthly post in full force for a few reasons. First off, October is breast cancer awareness month. We all know someone who has been impacted by breast cancer or that is still fighting. If you would like to donate to research, learn more about prevention or the cause, the Susan G. Komen is a great starting point. My grandmother had it, as well as a few of my dear friends. The good news is there has been a 38% decrease in the mortality rate from 1989-2104. This is the main reason I've chosen this cheery, uplifting color as this month's crush!! The second is because it's my birthday month, and what says Happy Birthday more than pink?? Nothing! It is and will always be a favorite of mine. 

Notes on the images:

- These flowers and glasses pop this kitchen photo shoot off the page!
- Dress by: Oscar de la Renta
- How adorable is this clutch?
- Giovanna at NY fashion week in Celine pants. They also looked great on Lauren.

- This door color and knocker - gah! I am still contemplating my front door color, more on that later this week.

- I am pretty sure one of my client's would adore this bench.

- Pale pink makes a peaceful backdrop in any bedroom

- This ruffled sweater from Madewell is very flattering.

Tuesday inspiration - Reese Witherspoon - Interior Design 2016

With homes in Nashville, L.A. and three Draper James retail locations - I'd say one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, Reese Witherspoon, is a busy lady. I'm drawn to her classic southern girl style and the Draper James store and logo design is very much up my alley too. Mark D. Sikes designed all the stores (lucky man) and is currently working on the interior of her Nashville home, that would honestly be a dream job for me. Here's a some Tuesday afternoon Reese inspiration. Keep on keeping on Reese, we're loving it! Also, looking forward to the next Big Little Lies mini-series.

She has since sold this one.
