AFFILIATE LINKS ARE OCCASIONALLY USED ON AK STUDIO. HOWEVER THEY ARE USED TO ENDORSE PRODUCTS THAT I GENUINELY LIKE AND WANT TO SHARE. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.
Today I am so very honored to sharing a sneak peek of the much awaited…
Everyone is familiar with Mackenzie Horan, the talent behind the Design Darling blog, but what you might not know is her business background.
The girl has made some SERIOUS rounds with my dream jobs working for Rue Magazine and Jonathan Adler. Yup! I’d say this girl has had access to some of the most gorgeous homes in the country!
And now Mackenzie is preparing to open an e-boutique so we can all have access to her goodies. Everything will be in keeping with Mackenzie’s preppy, fun aesthetic we are accustomed to seeing on her blog. There will be a tightly edited assortment of colorful accessories and decor, including acrylic desk accessories, color-block clutches, throw pillows, and more
The site will be www.designdarling.com and will launch TOMORROW! But you can sign up for the mailing list here in the meantime.
Woohoo, we are returning to our Tuesday series of, “Your favorites”. Today I have Julia, from Tartan and Sequins sharing her favorites from her beautiful home!

Favorite Room
My living room is my favorite room because it’s bright and balanced. I went through a variety of plans with my boyfriend prior to moving in and this worked best for the both of us. The style is traditional with what I’d like to think is a touch of southern charm. Plus I got to sneak in a little pink so that makes me a happy camper.
Favorite Textile:
My favorite textile is actually these pillow covers that I bought off Etsy. Early in my Pinterest days, I came across the pattern and saved it knowing I wanted to do something with it someday. After my boyfriend and I decided to move in together, I designed the entire living room based off the pattern. I just love the vibrant colors and beautiful print.
Favorite Piece of Art:
My favorite piece of art is this Inslee print I just received from my blogging partner Allison. One of our very first and most successful posts was about bracelets. Allison bought me this print as a congratulatory gift. I have it hung next to my bed as a reminder that you can do anything you put your mind to.
Favorite Piece of Furniture:
My favorite piece of furniture is my coffee table. It’s a Craigslist find from several years ago and I’ve held onto it. Its actually very well made and solid wood so its indestructible- which a coffee table should be. Also, I like how the rustic style of the table contrasts with some of my more modern and traditional pieces. It’s all about balance.
Favorite Miscellaneous Item:
My favorite miscellaneous item would have to be my faux set of antlers. I bought them for my mom years ago but after she remodeled her home, they no longer worked. I like them because they balance out the more feminine touches like the pillows in our living room

Isn’t her place perfectly happy? I love the meaning behind that gorgeous print. So sweet. And so true.
Make sure to check back tomorrow. I have a VERY exciting sneak peek from a brand new e-boutique opening soon!!
