this week's stylings

I'm so happy it’s the weekend! This past week has been a busy one for styling projects. Summer was a sort of a hiatus for me, so it’s fun to get back behind the camera and style a few things.

 

You may have seen this first table setting on Instagram. Aren’t these Hydrangea plates by Honey + Hank adorable? Can you make out each of the distinctive shapes of each of our states?

 

It's ingenious how they group them to form these fun stylized hydrangeas! A great size and the fact that these plates are melamine, makes them so great for everyday use. Pretty plates at lunch are a must!

I had a few new pillows to style too. These are from Pacific & Rose, made in India, and are hand stitched in creative designs. They’re available exclusively at Seaside Gallery.

 

New outdoor Bluetooth speakers by iLIVE are my new favorite thing for the garden! Read more about them HERE.

 

New holiday pillow alert!

 

Justina Blakeney of The Jungalow has designed the most stylish of all holiday pillows in her collaboration with Loloi Rugs. 

 

This chic, fully embroidered philodendron-like pattern is just what the doctor ordered to brighten up a boring little corner.  It's perfect for adding a bit of cheer during Christmas, but it'll fit in perfectly at my home all year round.

I have one more amazing throw from the Loili collaboration that I'm set to unveil in October... Can't wait to show you!

 

the fall look

Here are a couple of florals for a photoshoot I did on Friday for Pacific & Rose’s two newest patterns, Pomegranate & Laura's Garden.

 

Most of the flowers are from Trader Joe's but I did sneak in a few white English roses, leafy Nandina, and scented geraniums from the garden to fill out the look.

The pretty tea towel on the left is a preview of the new Pomegranate pattern collection by Pacific & Rose. Isn't it pretty? 

You’ll get to see the whole collection when it's made public on Wednesday, so I’d love it if you check back with me to see it here on the blog.

 

the summer look

After finishing up the arrangements in these two ironstone pitchers, it reminded me of the set up I did for the summer cover of Country Sampler Farmhouse Style, so I tried to recreate the look with a fall vibe in the same sunny corner of the breakfast room.

Which do you prefer, summer or fall?

Pumpkins are one of the greatest joys of autumn, so one of the biggest treats for me is my latest collaboration with Armstrong Garden Centers.

 

I stopped by the Costa Mesa store yesterday and was thrilled to find that they had all my favorite pumpkins and gourds already available.

 

I just love the curly, twisty stems! 

Here’s a little sampling of what my cart looked like while I was shopping, but that was just a start! I also selected several beautiful mums, autumn grasses, annuals, and perennials to dress up my tables, mantel, and front porch.

 

It’s important to stock up early on these items because I use them sooooo much from now clear through to Thanksgiving. They're so versatile and really add that pop of seasonal fun!

 

I hope your Sunday is a beautiful one. Can’t wait to check back with you soon!

ciao! fabiana

While I’m here today, I wanted to share some of my "Tablescaping Essentials" with you. I have a whole page on the Amazon website with my favorite picks for setting a beautiful table.

Quite often time is of the essence, and I have last minute projects or events to work on, so I turn to Amazon for one or two day delivery. You’d be surprised at how many amazing items they have to offer! And I'm constantly updating this page with my new favorites.
