I ADORE these vintage tins.

I'm working on our office/sewing room.
I thought this was a lovely piece of eye candy.

Im heading to Hawaii in 3 days... with one of my best friends eva... I can't wait.

I was recently given a couple vintage luggage pieces. I have a little set up like this in my guest room.

When I was little I was obsessed with Hello Kitty.. actually I still love a little kitty here and there.

This movie has one of the best lines EVER... "I think I'd miss you even if we'd never met."

If only this was true...

I just found out my mom is 11 weeks pregnant. So I have been scouring sites for baby stuff and came across this arrangement. Its adorable.

I grew up going to a house like this every weekend to visit my grandparents. I love it.

Thank you Kate Spade.

I could picture myself both of these outfits.

One of my fave rooms of all time. Thanks Domino

Just some pretty inspiration for a lazy summer day.

I just picked up this lovely little swimsuit for my Hawaiian vacation... 9 days to go.

I just recently made a headboard for our bed... everyday I wake up and love it. Above is a picture of the lovely British hotel Number Sixteen. 

Weekend Break

I am taking some time this weekend to take a break and soak in the last bit of summer with the most handsome man in the world. Never underestimate a rocking chair, a great cup of coffee and a good book. 

Housewarming

My friend just recently moved into her first home... what a sweet housewarming gift. 

Etsy Tulsa

Who knew Tulsa had such coveted independent designers. I found this fab ring on esty... by a local Tulsan... check out her website.

No creativity

One of my biggest frustrations is when I walk into a home and they decided to go into a store and buy the first floor set they saw... GROSS. 

Please Peeps.... use some personality in your home. Even if you don't have a large budget. Mix and Match... don't just match match PLEASE.

No matter what the reviews say... I loved the sisterhood once again. 

But I do have a weak spot for chick flicks with good scenery. 

Alexis Bledel look beautiful in every scene... her clothes were great as well. 

I came across a GEM the other day... it was an old red barn on a main street close to where we live. It used to be a feed and supply store years and years ago but has been vacant for several year. I was so excited about it... I saw so much potential in making it a boutique antique store. I was already thinking of how I could gut it, lay white washed wood floors and so on. Until the next day I drove by to make a call to the realtor about the plot when I came across this...

Needless to say by heart sank. 

I guess I will have to move on to another location to make my dream a reality.

Window boxes are so lovely... Im thinking of adding one to our upstairs window. 

This is slightly pathetic... but I am wishing I was returning to school for the fall. 

Last night I was going through my cookbooks and pulled out a coffee book my aunt gave me. I found out some very insightful information. I don't know about you but I have a passion for coffee... it's always been a dream of mine to own a coffee shop. But even though I love it... I can get lost when I walk into to order. There are many foreign names such as Sumatra, Ethiopian, Java and Yemen I never knew exactly what they meant. Here is a breakdown of each coffee so the next time you walk into the coffee shop you can feel confident in what you order (instead of trusting the barista). 

Brazilian: World's leader in producing coffee. If you enjoy smooth acidic, medium bodied coffee this is for you.  Try Bourbon Santos. 

Colombian: Second to Brazil in worldwide production, Colombian is the largest exporter of hand-picked, washed arabica beans. Overall, these coffees have a clean, balanced flavor with medium acidity. 

Costa Rica: These beans possess a rich, deep, full body and flavor. 

Guatemala: The mountainous volcanic soil of this Central American country nurture aromatic, mellow-bodied coffees. Many of the beans have a spicy flavor with hints of chocolate... YUM. 

Hawaii: This is the only place in the United States with the ideal climate for growing coffee. The Kona district boasts the highest yield per tree in the world and produced an aromatic, subtle, mellow-bodied coffee. 

Ethiopian: These coffees are characterized by a floral aroma and a winy, light acidic, almost dry flavor that caresses your tongue like fine wine.

Kenya: This African coffee, with its mellow, delicate smoothness, winy acidity and flavor overtones of berries, is popular in Europe as well as the United States. 

Yemen: This small country on the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula grows some of the world's most distinctive coffees. Mocha, named after the ancient Arabian port of Moka on the Red Sea, is distinctly fragrant and full-bodied. 

Java: One of the first world's coffee producers, this country's name is synonymous with the brew. These beans produce earthly coffee with low acidity and smooth body. 

Sumatra: Earthy, rich and full-bodied, Sumatra's coffee is not timid. It can take, and often enjoys the company of milk and sugar. 

New Guinea: Off the northern tip of Australia, this island began cultivating coffee in the 1930s with the seeds from Jamaican Blue Mountain region. It's full body, moderate acidity, and well rounded flavor makes it an excellent choice on its own or blended, especially for espresso. 

If your in need of a good movie with a little eye candy... pull out the popcorn and M&Ms Penelope is a MUST. It will put you in the mood for Fall. 

Vespa or Schwinn

I'm in what you call a conundrum... 

I can't decide what I want a vespa or a schwinn.

Heck, I just need them both.

The Fouches are obsessed with the Olympics... come to our house day or night and NBC is blaring. Congrats to the US Mens relay swim team for winning the gold last night... sorry France. Our neighbors are probably so mad at us right now because around 11pm last night. We were yelling, screaming and jumping on our bed cheering them on. 

I found a new goal in life.

I want to become the women's equivalent of Phelps... watch out here I come 2012... hehehe.

Reason for the name.

The reason I chose Cameo Darling for the name of my blog is due to the fact I have a MAD obsession with silhouettes and cameos. Anytime you see me I will usually be wearing a cameo somewhere on my body whether it be a ring, necklace or broach. Pictured above are Rob and I's silhouettes nicely placed in my living room. 

My first post.

Yehh... I finally have my own blog. 

This could potentially be a very bad thing, hopefully I won't become too addicted. 

But Im excited to take the leap and actually join. 

My goal here is to have an online journal of all the things that catch my eye. 

Here is a lovely little pic of a few beautiful orchids I literally stammered upon during my trip to Vegas.
