Looking forward to Spring with a visit to
Fashion Island in Newport Beach, California.
Not just for clothing, it is a good place to find one of a kind furniture like:
Wood and zinc topped table
Iron and Wood Shelving
1920's Butcher Block Table
Trina Turk
Maison Midi has colorful Palacek bistro chairs
also available in bar stool heights.
I considered these for our kitchen. Fresh and timeless.
Good bye for today Fashion Island.
Taking a couple purchases home...
For some other really cool cases check out Style Beat.
Are you ready for Spring??
Best Wishes,
Mary Ann
Oh those bistro chairs are perfect!! How fun- bring on Spring!!
ReplyDeleteWell you had fun today didn't you!?! Your new pillows are NICE! I love all the pretty Spring colors especially on the bistro chairs... I will have to go check Maison Midi - I have not been there. Check out and see what I did today - I think you may have had more fun than me ;)
ReplyDeleteLoving the pillows in that first picture, pretty colours. Wouldnt mind getting my hands on the cute halter neck top & shorts, bit cold right now but I can dream of sunnier climates, roll on spring time
ReplyDeleteJonathan Adler? I'm so jealous you've got a JA store near you...would L O V E to have that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us see his store, anyway.
Love the post.
Can NOT wait for warm, bright, crispy spring to arrive.
I am jealous! We were in Fashion Island about 5 years ago, and the views alone are just breathtaking the way its perched up high and you can see the ocean...wow! I love all the pictures of all the great items above, the french chairs, all the pillows, so many goodies! Have fun...enjoy what I am sure is beautiful weather (its gotta be better than here)
ReplyDeleteI think I need a visit to Fashion Island....thanks for sharing! Those bistro chairs are yummy! I am loving all these bright colors!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun place and the spring colors are my favorites. The phone case is really cute.
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks fabulous. Makes me want to go shopping!
ReplyDeleteAfter a freezing rain storm, two days with the kids home from school and more sleet/snow predicted for tomorrow, I'm definitely ready to think spring.
ReplyDeletewish i could have been with you! :) JA store, really! I don't think we have one here? i'll have to check. I have always loved color, trying to add it lil by lil here and there around the house..also, gotta go to anthro for that octopus! i'm crushing octopus's right now! xoxo's nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun shopping day! You hit so many great shops. Love the bright colors being used at Kate Spade and Jonathan Adler, and that wood and zinc topped table is to die for at Anthro. Thanks for letting us share in the shopping trip.
ReplyDeleteWow, love the shelving! Anthropologie is a great store. Looks like you had a great shopping trip.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

This looks like a fabulous place to shop...I LOVE Kate Spade and Anthro! Pretty plates there and I love the butcher block cabinet!
ReplyDeleteGreat pillows you bought and I spotted those phone cases...I am looking for something cute!
XO,

Here's a secret....I took that little trip to Fashion Island the weekend before last. We are skiing at Mammoth Mountain. So, we are actually enjoying all the snow! I will try to take photos...but it's all outdoors and not really design related :)
ReplyDeleteMary Ann
Love the shopping trip! You made some great choices. Can't wait to see how you use them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shopping center!! Lots of fun picks and actually also love the rug under the wood and zinc table!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! Thanks for giving me a glimpse inside these amazing stores! I would love the butcher block island! Amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteI just found two Kate Spade handbags at a thrift store!! Your photos make me want to go shopping. There's a new Anthropology that I haven't been to yet. Thanks for the lead on the Louis Phillipe mirror. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with any of those stops! What a great way to brighten any day. =)

ReplyDeleteI am soooo ready for spring!!! You've got an eye for style! I luv it! I also LOVE Jonathan Adler and Anthropologie!!! YUM! I LOVE your blog! ;)

The bistro chairs!$!$!$!$!! Thank heavens they are nowhere in my part of the planet! I'd have to take out a line of credit! Fun post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking me along shopping while I'm still keeping toasty under the covers!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this 'virtual' shopping trip! My mother lives in Huntington Beach and we visited a couple of years ago. I lived in CA for a year and remember going to Newport Beach a couple of times. Those fabrics and colors are so fresh and bright! They do make you feel like Spring is here. :o) Makes me want to sew some pillows or a tote..or go shopping for clothes. (Not necessarily a good thing..LOL!) Great post!

That first picture is making crave spring more than ever, and I'm far from it with all the snow we got last night and today! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAhhh. Fashion Island My very VERY favorite mall. Nothing can compare. People in Orange County are so very lucky to have that and South Coast, of course. I need to make it down there very soon; it's been awhile.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun shopping! I am feeling your need for spring. We are getting so much dang snow today...can't wait for sunshine! Have a great weekend!

Happy Pink Saturday Mary Ann Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteA beautiful share today.I am so tickled you took me shopping with you. Love the soft pastel colors in the Kate Spade collection that you shared. Nothing like polka dots says Spring and Summer. They make me SO ready for the warmer temps to come on. Phoenix has been a little under the warm temps of late. We are expecting the rain today. I say someone pay our bill out here and turn the heat back on in the desert. Pllleeeeeezzzz.
I see you selected a really nifty phone case. I love it. So pretty, and a reminder of your beautiful day shopping.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for the beautiful pink share. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
What lovely spring items! I'm looking forward to warm weather too and over here it's been wonderful. Hope you have a great Pink day and enjoy the weather!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Mary Ann,
ReplyDeleteLoved reading your introduction and that's exactly why I am following you! We both might have a little French Connection... Feel free to visit my blog.
Have a great Sunday!
Mariette
I love the pillows and am also anticipating SPRING! Visiting from Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteLove a shopping day like that! We are getting a JA store her in Atlanta...so excited. I think your pillow purchase was a great addition to your sofa.
ReplyDeleteYou have some killer shopping in Newport Beach--lucky girl. And YES I am so ready for Spring!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this post! It is so bright, colourful and cheerful! Angie xo
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff, I like the color scheme that you've chosen, it's so bright, exactly what we need after a frosty winter.
