Hello everyone! I'm taking some time off for a bit of a summer break but also to give myself some time before I begin traveling for the official Decorate book tour in the USA and London in August and September. Anthropologie is so generously hosting me in their stores across the country in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and then in September, in their beautiful Kings Road location in London and all of this is made possible by Chronicle Books who have been an absolute dream publisher to work with.

I'm quite excited about these in-store events because I've been working with them on a project idea to get all who visit involved -- I've been working on this for many months and so next week I'll give you the full details about the tour, the project and all of the fun we're going to have together. I can't wait to meet all of you.The tour will kick off on August 20th so less than 4 weeks from now which is why I need a bit of a break this week to relax and get ready for all of this.

So yes, I'm taking a mini break now but I'll still be posting on decor8 daily to link you to great, inspirational content since I plan to pop in first thing each morning to post and then run off for the day.While text will be extremely light, you can expect these vacation posts daily until I'm back sometime next week. Don't forget to stop by and visit to see what I have in store for you.

Back with some links for today... See you soon. :)
