Lindsey Buckingham’s Home

by Kelly Edwards | July 30th, 2009

My boyfriend is a music fanatic.  At least 3 or 4 times a month I find myself standing amongst several hundred people checking out the latest and/or the greatest. Festivals, shows and concerts are a weekly ritual in my life.  When we aren’t scoring last minute tickets to a show, we are listening to records or watching it on television. VH1 Classics to be exact. Last night on our favorite VH1 Classics they featured a few of my favorites, U2 and Fleetwood Mac, which of course provoked today’s blog post. Back in March, Elle Decor Magazine had featured Lindsey Buckingham’s (the guitarist from Fleetwood Mac) home in Los Angeles that he shares with his wife Kristen who also happens to be an interior designer.   Their home is amazing and glamorous with a touch of bohemia. My kind of design!  I’m sure that you will find after looking at these pics that their home encompasses comfort, style and a sense of creativity that seems to run in the family.  I may be a bit biased since I’m a HUGE Fleetwood Mac fan, but putting the music aside, I think his wife did an amazing job!

1 Wedding 2 Babies

by Kelly Edwards | July 13th, 2009

This week I have weddings and babies on the brain.  No…Im not getting married, nor am I having a baby.  But I do have 2 close friends who just found out this week that they are indeed having babies and 1 friend just got engaged.  My best friend Kritter ( thats what we call her), always makes fun of me and tells me that I get invited to more baby showers and weddings than all her friends combined.  I’m inclined to agree.  With that said, let the planning begin. My search of-course started online so I found this great blog site called Style Me Pretty, which caters to Brides.  All these entries below came from their site.  Amazing stuff! I had such a hard time choosing which ones to post on here, because everything she has on her site is fabulous!
