Favorite Pix from Lonny’s Latest

Lonny_mag_May_2012
Yesterday, Lonny Magazine released 243 pages full of beautiful, inspirational and simply magical images. In this May issue, Lonny travels to exotic Marrakech, tours the home of Furbish Studio’s Jamie Meares, gets design tips from mother/daughter  design duo, Suzanne & Lauren McGrath’s new book and so much more. 

It was hard to narrow down, but here are some of my favorite pix for this issue…

I was also inspired by Lonny’s Global Giving initiative. This spring Lonny teamed up with Kate Spade New York to support Women for Women International who provides employment, empowerment training and business to women in war-torn countries. Kate Spade’s Hand in Hand collection features items that are created through this program. My personal fave, the “Play Hooky” beaded bracelet.


On another note, I would like to thank {and hug} each and every one of you who have voted for Simplified Bee for the Circle of Moms' Top 25 Design Moms award. The contest is open a few more days, so you still have time to vote if you haven't or want to again :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

  3. I was blown away by the latest Lonny issue. I love that pink desk too. There were so many amazing details in this issue, I think it`s going to be one of those issues you keep refering back to. Good luck with the contest!

  5. Cristin,

    It's always amazing to me that each month there are things to get excited about in design. All through sharing and putting things together do we learn what we like too.

    I think of it as taste refreshers ha ha.

    Happy Mother's Day!
