Office Space Inspiration

I have always had a slight obsession with the future.  Unfortunately, I am not a very "in the moment" kind of person and I spend too much time day dreaming about my future home, wardrobe, vacations, careers, etc. Lately, my thoughts have been focused on what my dream office/work space will look like.  I know for a fact that it will probably include both lucite and laquer furniture (I am a huge fan).  I wanted to share some of my office space inspiration I have been collecting on Pinterest.

Wish List: Perlee Gold & Platinum Ramekins

I am obviously a lover of creme brulee (just typing the words is creating a pretty serious craving!) so I fell in LOVE when I saw these gorgeous ramekins.  Can you imagine serving creme brulee in one of those at a dinner party?! You can purchase Perlee Ramekins online at Gearys Beverly Hills. The gold and silver ramekins are $170 a piece and the white ramekin is $36.00- making it much more budget friendly.

Etsy Find: Rachel Rose

Rachel Rose is a Brooklyn based designer who makes some pretty incredible silk tees and dresses.  Each item is hand painted or dyed and they are beautiful!  I love how she takes a simple silhouette and then adds an array of prints and colors to make her clothes come alive! I am dying for one of her silk tops- wear them to work with a pencil skirt or wear them out with your favorite pair of jeans. You can find her on Etsy or on her website









Are you a fan of Rachel Rose's designs?
