Hi, I'm Susi, a writer for Design Shuffle, a community for homeowners, decorators and interior designers to showcase their design projects, share inspirations, and network. Speaking of inspiration, Pink Lemonade Design is a great source for gorgeous fashion and interiors. I am delighted to be asked to share my take on Pink Lemonade Interiors and decorating ideas.  Hope you enjoy these chic and stylish rooms. And thanks for letting me visit Pink Lemonade Design this week! Enjoy!

One incredible design element sets the stage for a stylish room. This floral photograph wall mural dominates the space so the furnishings are kept simple to not overwhelm the focal point.

Love the pale lavender of the sofa in this living room. Such a lovely color.  Ceiling medallions on the wall are stylish and unexpected.

Stylish black and white make a striking statement in this small reading nook.  Love the portrait.  Loads of white accessories stand out against the black wall.

This patchwork rug is an interesting take on the classic zebra pattern; it almost looks like wood grain or stone.  But the real stars of the room are the lacquered aqua walls and yellow ceiling. So many gorgeous living room decorating ideas here!

For the host or hostess with the most, a stylish bar is a must. Love this bar atop a curvy chest of drawers. Bar carts, console tables and buffets all make fantastic bars for entertaining.

Orange is such a chic color. It always makes me think of those oh so famous orange boxes from Hermes.  Paired with peacock greens and blues (and the real thing in this case), orange makes for a very stylish dining room.

Super chic or super over the top? This zebra stripe filled bedroom is for the bold.  Zebra on either the wall or ceiling would be gorgeous. Love the shaped headboard in this bedroom design.


Love dark and moody rooms in older homes. There is something so Victorian glam about the London living room of Abigail Ahern.


Thanks to Susi of Design Shuffle for stopping by the blog today! They are a wonderful resource if you're looking to get inspired in interior design from the best in the industry from Chicago interior designers to Los Angeles interior designers and more!

Fall is just around the corner...








So are you ready? I am reorganizing my closets today (and office) after a flurry of crazy activity this summer and it feels great!

I am putting my sweaters in neat piles and sadly putting away tank tops, frilly skirts and all that light pink...

I also picked up some colorful wool tights, a few hats and a gorgeous bag at Kitsch n Swell, a vintage shop here in Montreal on Monday. This is a season that I adore for the following reasons. What's your favorite?

Happy Monday!!!


Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! It was gorgeous weather here and very relaxing. I attended a jazz concert, went for a run and read tons of magazines.

For those of you interested in the world of publishing, there is a very  interesting article in this month's Vanity Fair about changes and challenges facing the industry. It is also available as an e-book.

A special thank you to both blogger fiends Kim Smith and Talli Rolland for mentioning my book trailer video.

Have a fantastic week!

Happy Friday!!!


 Happy Friday!! I hope you had a fantastic week!

Mine was exciting but exhausting, so much so that I came down with a minor cold. I will be taking it easy this weekend, bundled in 
cozy blankets with some tea and magazines.

 I was looking at pictures of New York Fashion Week this morning and came across this one of Corinne Bailey Rae looking wonderful and chic in this lovely pink dress. Not only is she gorgeous but her video Paris Nights, New York Mornings was the inspiration behind my book trailer video ...You can take a look here.




Still loving the socks in heels at Oscar De La Renta...




Don't forget to participate in the J'Adore New York giveaway here.


Have a fantastic weekend!!
