5 Things I'm Lovin' ~ From Jonathan Adler

 Images via Jonathan Adler's website.

Who else can give just the right design pick-me-up than happiness guru Jonathan Adler. No one does fun, cheeky and whimsical quite like him. I've picked 5 things that I'm currently lovin' from Mr. Adler's collections. The first is the Horoscope Key Fob (mine would be Virgo!) Anyone who knows me knows that I'm into the Zodiac, astrology, and all that jazz. So this is close to my heart. I love the idea of giving them as gifts to friends or family. For the ultimate weekend traveler, I love this white Rope Tote. The nautical theme is perfect for spring and summer getaways. These Dachshund bookends can be summed up in one word: adorable. Perfect to add a touch of fun to any bookcase. Keep your money safe in this hot pink Vespa Jute Pouch. Finally, this pencil case sends me in a 90s flash-back to elementary school (but in a good way!) Perfect for keeping your pens, pencils and other office accessories organized while you're on-the-go (or keep it at your desk for easy access!) Which item by Jonathan Adler is your favourite? TGIF - Happy Weekend, gang!

What a perfect way to welcome spring and summer into your home than with ThomasPaul's designs. They're cheeky, colourful and perfect for any age. Kids, teens (and adults) will love the animal prints - like elephant, octopus and lion - and older folks will be raving about the more mature collections, like garden, arboretum, Luddite and more. These designs definitely have a sense of the whimsical and are filled with personality, humor and play; perfect for home accents and accessories! I collaborated a few of my market finds and was impressed by the colour options and range of collections. I'm quite fond of the nautical series but am also drawn to the more natural series. Plus the history buff inside of me is quite fond of the Luddite collection. They have items for the bedroom, kitchen and dining room, and even fashion! If you like their designs in your home, you could also wear them (as scarves, brooches and other accessories). What's your favourite piece by ThomasPaul? Cheers to a beautiful weekend! Happy Friday!
