Element Shops: Tonic Home

I was so excited when Tonic Home contacted me about being a blog advertiser since they are one of my favorite online stores for designer goods! Impeccable taste reigns supreme in this shop, and I think you'll agree with me after taking a gander. From Bungalow 5 to Oly Studio to Arteriors Home lighting, you can't throw a rock without hitting something fabulous. Here are some of my favorite items from their online shop!

Awesome artwork that makes a statement:

Bold throw pillows:

An amazing selection of lamps:

And some of my all time favorite pendant fixtures:

Lots of ceramic garden stools:

Need an imperial trellis fix? This pair of chairs is on sale!

You know I can't resist zebra- especially on an Oly Studio piece. A new favorite- O'Brien Ironworks chinese chippendale garden furniture:

More Oly Studio:

Stylish side tables:

Mirrors to add interest to your walls:

Amazing buffets and dressers:

I adore a grouping of natural horns on a mantle, these are particularly lovely. And while you're at it you can snag this sleek shagreen clutch!

Surfin' Turf

It has been raining here for what feels like months. This June has been so unbelievably grey and depressing it feels like New England has morphed into London, Seattle and Forks, WA rolled into one. I sit here and wait for the Cullen family to descend and set up residence in this gloomy, sun-free land of ours. I need a little visual uplift before I send myself careening into the Charles River. This month's feature of The Surf Lodge in Montauk, NY in Coastal Living is the kind of colorful, happy inspiration I need to focus on. Designer Robert McKinley opened this space as a homage to good ol' laid back surf culture. He, along with his partners and hippie chic designer Tracy Feith, created spaces that feel like surf camp meets Jonathan Adler's The Parker Hotel. You can practically smell the Banana Boat sunscreen and salty sea air in these pictures, no?

There is an onsite Tracy Feith shop, full of his bright, hippie, happy clothes and the entire staff is outfitted in his designs.

This picture below is of his NYC location (equally as cheerful!)

The first lady has worn one of Tracy's dresses (a slightly more subtle number). While I'd pick a long tie dyed number to sport after a day at the beach...
