Me + Bike = Happy Weekend!
Yup, that's it, I'm getting a bike! Really, I've been telling everyone that I'm going to start biking to work...I mean why not! For exercise, for fresh air...and to bypass the pump, it just makes sense. I'm only 4 miles each way to work (not that close but not too far) ...which makes me believe I can do it...but people are surprised by it. "You on a bike!" or better yet, my mom said "Yeah right honey!"
But, they don't know how chic biking can be...see that could be me up above, with my boots on and a basket full of goodies riding around the city!! So I've been on the hunt for cute city bikes and really anything that catches my eye...here's what I've found so far:
But, I couldn't help myself when I saw this Gucci Bike, made special for this Summer's 2008 Olympics in Bejing...it's perfect in all red, I would go everywhere on this thing, but then again with it's price tag ($3,420) it might just end up being an indoor bike...
This is a Jorg and Olif Bike, modified for U.S. conditions...apparently their first two customers were stylish celebs Chloe Sevigny and “Splash” star Daryl Hannah. (Sourced from BikePortland.org)
This red beauty is called "One Fine Lady" from Velorbis...great color options, styles and even better are all the accessories!!
And already since my post a few hours back, two readers suggested I take a look at the Electra bikes, cute and moderately priced...on REI I found this Amsterdam Classic Cruiser above....so cute, and only $600

This Skeppshult Ladies Bike has a nice classic look to it and includes a basket...this could be in the running I think!!

And then there's the cute Cynthia Rowley beach cruiser, with it's aged leather accents (and classic bell)...it comes in pink, green, and blue. I think this would make a good city bike too!!

So, do you bike to work? Just started (because of gas prices) or always have??
Or just plain don't ride a bike, I wanna know...

NIBA rug crush...
Maybe you're familiar with NIBA and their gorgeous rugs and maybe you're not...well they have been showing up in magazines much more so recently, for their modern eclectic designs and dramatic palettes.
The Dragonscale rug shown above, is on my "must have" list...

The Belair rug is another one I was immediately drawn too, for it's animal print inspired design...but who's picking favorites!!
Among the recent press, Vogue Living did a spread on Doug and Gene Meyer's and their recent additions to the NIBA collection...whose designs were inspired by a recent stay in Morocco and their fascination with rich color and texture...
From Gene's collection, the Crossroads rug shown above...a play on color combos and different piles to add depth...
I could see this rug in so many schemes, it showcases nicely above in a Miami home...
Then from the same collection, this Try-Angular rug, taking almost every color from the rainbow...
There are so many more rugs featured on their site, be sure and check them out...any of these make your favorite's list too?!?!

A shade of green...
Why not green? I don't know...why not though! I think everyone has color's that they tend to use...for me it's whites, yellows, and blues. But, stepping out of my comfort zone today, I'm thinking green and how versatile it can be...vibrant, lots of colors pairing options than you'd think weren't possible too, so here's some inspiration for some fun shades of green...
(Domino)My favorite pairing, green with orange...I just can't get enough of these two!!
(O at Home)Green can be feminine and pretty, but in a way that is suitable for both sexes...
(Rooms to Inspire)I love how this room pairs two similar shades of green to create a subtle contrast between the walls and trim...
(House Beautiful)Blogger Brown Turtleneck Sweater was thinking of painting her office this green when she saw this feature in House Beautiful...
(House and Garden)Green pairs great with other shades of greens, this simple rustic room is a perfect example...
(House and Garden)
(House Beautiful)A great idea for a small space, create an impact with a pear green and white stripe like shown above...
(California Home and Design)A shade of green with a tint of blue, combos great with reds as well...
(Domino)Always a favorite is Nick Olsen's apartment, where he pairs it nicely with black and white accents...
(Domino)Here again in a small space, Domino demonstrates how color can make a bold statement...and why not green!!
(Elle Decor)Green, can be elegant too...this is a perfect example!!
**I just wanted to say Thanks to Terri over at the Washington Post for the mention this week!!**
