PINNING LATELY...

Slim Aarons Pool House | Citrus Sorbet | Charlotte Rampling

Green and White Tabletop

It seems no matter how busy I am I can always find a minute or two in my day to pin a few things. Here are a few pins that have caught my eye recently. :)

ASK KELLY: HANGING RATTAN CHAIRS

Single Hanging Swing, Fran's Wicker, $225.00 | Hanging Rattan Chair, Serena & Lily, $450.00 | Two's Company Hanging Rattan Chair, Amazon, $348.50 | Zebra Outdoor Pillow, Furbish, $85.00 | Carrot Stick 2016-30, Benjamin Moore | Palm Beach Outdoor Pillow, Furbish, $85.00 | Flamingo's Dream 2002-40, Benjamin Moore

I also love the look of hanging rattan chairs. They're so fun and unexpected and look great both indoors and out. Fran's Wicker is a popular source for these chairs and you really can't beat the price and the shape. Serena & Lily also introduced one this year that's a little pricier but has a very cozy feel to it.

And I have to suggest painting the chair. The natural rattan is a great look, but I think they look sooo chic in white or a bright color with a fun cushion...can really make a space!

Thanks so much for your question Susan and good luck with your search!

xo, Kelly

ART SHOW: SELENA BEAUDRY

I'm a huge fan of Selena Beaudry's work and am particularly obsessed with the dreamy abstracts in her weather series. Don't you just get lost in the colors? I love each and every one. :)

Apparently I was in a geometric mood when searching for picks for this latest HIGH/LOW round-up. I'm more than ok with that since it resulted in a greek key pillow, honeycomb mirror, and a truly chic maze rug...lots to love here!

KELLY LOVES RIKSHAW DESIGN

One of my favorite places to pick up both lightweight tunics and the most adorable baby gifts is Rikshaw Design. All of their textiles are hand block printed in India and the colorful prints are some of my favorites. Rikshaw is kicking off a massive summer sale today and is generously offering KM readers additional free shipping....just use KELLYMARKET at checkout through Sunday. I can't think of a better way to kick off the weekend!

BEACH READS

Chic on the Beach Beach Towel | Millie Picnic Beach Towel

New Yorker Central Park Beach Towel | Lobster Gourmet Beach Towel

I've been in love with these Condé Nast beach towels for ages. There's something so clever about printing the famous covers on towels.

BOLT HOUSE TEXTILES

I recently learned about a completely customizable line of fabrics: Bolt House Textiles. They offer 3 linen and linen blends, 28 patterns, and over 90 colors. They also sell fabric by the yard, pillow covers, and even lampshades. I think it's such a fun concept and perfect for those times when you need to go custom, but don't want to break the bank. Do check out!

VISITING PALM BEACH

Palm Beach Houses by Shirley Johnston and Roberto Schezen | Slim Aarons: A Place in the Sun by Slim Aarons | A Privileged Lige: Celebrating Wasp Style by Susanna Salk | Lilly by Kathryn Livingston

Now that we know how to decorate, dress, and emulate, we obviously must visit Palm Beach! I've hand-picked some of my favorite shops; including the can't-miss home destinations Circa Who and C. Bell, and House of Lavande, one of the best places to shop for vintage jewels. And you don't want to miss The Church Mouse, which is a well-known resale shop...definitely my kind of place!

PALM BEACH CHIC...INSPIRATION

The above images are some of my all-time favorites, not just of Palm Beach, but of any place and time. The Lilly girls, C.Z. Guest, and Alice Topping all look utterly timeless, even though they were taken in the 50s and 60s.

P.S. I'm dying to stage a photo in one of my fan chairs, à la the model in Quadrille. Wouldn't it be terribly fabulous?
