I first discovered Sarah Lederman’s blog, Chevrons & Stripes, when her beautiful home was featured on Glitter Guide (and gave me lots of apartment envy!). I’m constantly inspired by her unique finds (we share a love of color and pattern), and her jewelry designs are true works of art. Here’s a look at Sarah’s life at the moment:

What are you crushing on?

STYLE // All of the new Madewell polka dot pieces! How adorable is this scarf?
BEAUTY // Supergoop! The Best lightweight sunscreen around… Living in Miami, I need constant protection from the sun.
HOME // I’m seriously coveting this rattan chair from Haus Interior.  I love the 70s vibe of it, plus it’s named after my favorite Beatle, Ringo! How can you go wrong?

What are you dreaming about?

DESTINATION // With our wedding still just over a year away, I’ve been whiling away the days dreaming up the perfect honeymoon locale.  I’d love to escape just the two of us to a secret tent high in the sky.
CURRENT GOAL // Well, I guess I’m just going to come out with it.  I haven’t even announced this on my own blog yet (!!!) but I’m in the process of applying to go back to school in the Fall. The rest is top secret until I know more but check in with me soon for more deets!
ON HER BUCKET LIST // I’d love to go on safari and stay at Giraffe Manor just once (it’s a real thing, I promise)!

What are you currently doing?

ON HER TO-DO LIST // Lots of fun little wedding details (including making appointments at bridal salons)!  And yes, our pup is totally walking down the aisle.
CURRENTLY READING // I recently finished Joan Didion’s Blue Nights and am now starting The Year of Magical Thinking.  Both terribly sad works of non-fiction but Didion’s prose is perfection as always.
BLOGGING ABOUT // I’ve written about the Brooklyn Home Company twice now and I had such fun putting my own spin on re-creating one of their spaces in my last post!
