The weather here in Los Angeles has been kind of spastic lately. Although, the last few days have been blissfully summer like. When I think summer, I picture farmers markets, fruit festivals (this website lists all fairs and festivals in California, but I’m sure every state has a website like this one) picnics and seasonal fruit pie. The change in season always makes me want to update things around the house, especially my closet. I have been feeling very inspired by fruit themed prints, accessories and decor. Fruit prints were huge a few season’s ago in part thanks to Stella McCartney’s Spring 2011 collection. For me the fruit fixation never really went away – one of my dogs’ names is Clementine for Pete’s sake! The other one is named Noodle, maybe it’s not so much a fruit fixation but an all food obsession? Here are a few of my fruit inspired favorites:
1. J.Crew pleated Jardin skirt in delicious apple print – I would be a total cheese ball and wear this to a fruit festival or apple picking!
2. Topshop fruit stack rings – a playful take on classic stacking rings.
3. A gorgeous floral arrangements with fresh figs from this stunning wedding.
4. Adorable Summer Fruit Print by Claire Nereim available at her lovely Etsy shop
5. I freaked when I saw these MIU MIU glitter cherry sandals, they are the epitome of festive summer footwear.
6. I love how these graphic prints by Enzo Mari add a shot of color to the space, image from a home tour of a beautiful Brooklyn Brownstone .
7. I did not expect to find a pineapple shaped, tufted headboard, but here it is! It belongs to this NYC home. I wonder where I could find one of these?
8. This Mulberry bikini is just perfect, I love the stripes and the little strawberry decal.
That headboard is crazy! I kind of love it, but can’t image it in my own home haha.
Good heavens, those rings are awesome!! Fun post!
Yes, the rings are my absolute favorite! that and the headboard…love the headboard.
