Online Magazines - Are they inspiring you?

When it comes to seeking out inspiration -one thing I always look forward to is online magazines. The latest issues of Lonny Magazine & Adore Home Mag are some of my favorite issues! You can get a sneak peek of both below! 

Displaying homes from New York city to Australia - both are equally engaging & completely inspiring! I swear, I feel like re-decorating after I finish looking through these issues! But, we merely moved into this place and that just ISN'T happening! 

On a side note, I wish these online mags would devote an issue to more AFFORDABLE SPACES - so that the pages don't just serve as inspiration but would be attainable to most people. Make sense???

Do these online magazines inspire you? Do you feel they should feature more affordable spaces sometimes?

My Faves from Sweet Paul & Lonny

Two of my fave online mags launched their newest issues this past weekend & I have to say I was super inspired by both! Here are my favorite pages from each issue. 

First, Sweet Paul. It's a mag filled photos of food mostly, you won't be disappointed if you like to eat! 

I absolutely LOVED the pages about eggs. Reminded me of this little treat I made for myself last week here.

Then we move onto Lonny Magazine. This is my favorite online home decor mag. Maybe because there's a bit of Domino Magazine with Michelle Adams as founder thrown in the mix! These were my fave pages from the issue!

This is my favorite Lonny cover so far....

What's currently your FAVORITE online magazine??

I Love Lonny...

I've been occupied with soooo many other things that I neglected to take a look at the latest issue of Lonny Magazine! I FINALLY got around to it yesterday &  was pretty impressed!  I was particularly blown away by Michelle Adam's office in NYC - the before & after pictures are a must-see! I love everything about this office space! It exudes CREATIVITY & STYLE....don't you think??  

This would be an ideal place to come to work to everyday -assuming the staff was just as nice right?? Can't have nice place & CRAPPY boss....that doesn't fly well with me. 

Either way, regardless of any opinions circulating the internet about Lonny Mag & what was said in the NY Times - blah blah blah, I find Lonny Magazine to be a BIG hit.

Some bloggers think they have it ALL figured out about what people should say or NOT say in the media, but who are WE to judge?!?!?!?

At the end of the day, Michelle is super cool.....she's been a sweetheart to me for as long as I can remember & never once was arrogant. 

I'm just glad we have all this accessible EYE CANDY to be inspired by! Michelle has brilliantly delivered it to us & for that I thank her.

So what did you think of Lonny's new office space? It it a hit with you? Are you still enjoying the content in the mag???

Made By Girl Print on Nate Berkus Show...

It's so wild to see my love print on TV for the first time....and on the Nate Berkus show no less! Even though I didn't VENTURE out to NYC for the INFAMOUS blogger Nate Day event, I am grateful to have my product featured on his show! 

Made By Girl was featured in the Hottest Trends of 2011 segment. You can WATCH the video here. 


It's actually WEIRD because my print has been featured on so many blogs & is just now brought to mainstream. But that's usually how it works, we bloggers usually discover all the interesting trends first! Thanks to Nate Berkus & Michelle Adams (whom I love!). 

No...that's not me above. It's is Michelle Adams editor of Lonny Magazine with Nate Berkus

The PRINT is a simple print. I made it because it is a feeling I can't LIVE without. It doesn't need anything else beside it, just the one word is sufficient as a reminder of what we all should strive to experience....LOVE.

New Issue....Lonny Mag (woo hoo)!

Aaaah it's Thursday.....only one more day until Friday! How has your week been so far??  I can't wait! I just want to sit out in the sun and relax! Today is super gorgeous outside, around 98 degrees, (big change from the 108 degree weather we've had lately). However, I'm feeling a little out of it. 
 
On another note, (this put a SMILE on my face) the NEWEST issue of Lonny Magazine is out! These were my favorite pics from the issue...for the entire  magazine, go here. Enjoy!

New from Lonny Magazine....

Here's a great start to a new week with the newest issue of Lonny Magazine! In this issue we get a great look at Michelle's (editor in chief) new apartment! My favorite is the dining area! I've been wanting to re-upholster my current dining table chairs in a black & white STRIPED fabric and after seeing Michelle's I am sooo INSPIRED!  However, I would have to re-paint my chairs, they definitely need a bit of a PAINT face-lift.

If I'm feeling LAZY & don't want to take on the DIY, I can just buy the chairs ALREADY upholstered in a striped blk & white fabric directly from Ballard Designs.  Something to keep in mind...hmmm.  Ballard is great, I'm a big fan of their site, especially their chair collection. Have a great Monday and thanks to Michelle Adams once again for giving us all this eye-candy!
