Art in the streets of Pakistan

I love this spectacular colorful art in odd places very inspiring!

This is the rear of a truck

Notice the colored chain for decoration!

 Observe on the peacock that they not only paint the metal frames but add tape and mirrors for effect so it's actually multimedia!

The colors are magnificient and here are some other objects turned into works of art!

This is my favorite!

When I read the description of the photo above: "OK secret's out people! I love whites, I love an elegant dose of shabby (oxymoron?), I love blues, and oh yes anything that screams feminine. I think this does." from Mary over at RoomPolish I thought wow I have a design soul mate!

I even have this same exact picture of puddled curtains in my folder of inspiring pictures!

I love sheer curtains for this!

 I also love white, shabby, dreamy, feminine, airy, light blues and other pastels...

...and I thought thank you Rachel Ashwell for coining the phrase "Shabby chic"!

Now we don't have to explain how we love country mixed with airy feminine...bla bla bla... because you gave it a name.

Elle Decor article: "Look Sharp" April 2004

I was looking at an older post on  Brabourne Farm and saw this dining room and I thought oh this dining room is breathtaking

Elle Decor article Look Sharp

Then I  realized I recognized this picture because I have looked at this dining room in Elle Decor hundreds of times since I bought that magazine in April 2004.

Another view of the dining room

 It is Christopher and Suzanne Sharp's home the founders of the Rug Company still my favorite home featured in any magazine to date go see it all at  Elle Decor article Look Sharp April 2004 edition.

Here they are in their adorable kitchen

 And here a few more of my favorite pictures...all credited to Elle Decor

This pink is SO BOLD I love it and the Moroccan lantern is so touche!

Once again lantern is so beautiful and I love the way it is playing off the Venetian mirror.

I love Lavender and I want a Moroccan blanket so badly it hurts.

I was inspired then and I still am. For more inspiration check out their ads here's one below it's gorgeous too!

H&M's collaboration with WaterAid

via: Urban Style Vibes*

This is so cool!

This is H&M's pop-up beach store recently placed The Hague’s popular Scheveningen seaside resort in the Netherlands to benefit global charity WaterAid.

According to Springwise "H&M has been collaborating with WaterAid since 2002, including an initiative every summer whereby the retailer sells an exclusive bikini or — this year — a whole beachwear collection dedicated to the effort, with 10 percent of proceeds donated toward providing safe water and sanitation to developing countries. This year, however, H&M took it's support further by donating... a full 25 percent of the sales proceeds directly to WaterAid, according to a report on the Superfuture blog."

 I love this idea so gypsy and corporate generosity is always good.

This bouquet is beautiful these are my favorite colors
