Souvenir Stylings: Provence, France

Hello again!

It's Aspiring Kennedy's faithful interior designer,

Beth Dotolo

Pulp Design Studios & Hello, Splendor.

I'm charged with the task

of designing her dream homes abroad

and helping her recreate her travels at home.

...and by 'charged' I mean: 'out of the kindness of my heart'.

Recently Aspiring Kennedy travelled

to Southern France for 'work'.

(Yes, that's real life.)

Southern France is known for

it's picturesque countryside & rural villages...

But, let's be honest,

Aspiring Kennedy ain't no farm hand!

So we're taking French Provencal up a notch

& adding a little twist.

Because, even though

Aspiring Kennedy

is simple at heart...

She's just plain... fancy.

Now, that's a French countryside

I could see Aspiring Kennedy

hanging her hat on.

Here are a few great pieces

that can add a bit of that

French Provencal style,

without making your space

look like a farm home...

No.1 Eat Table Linens | No.2 French Marble Console Table | No.3 Morandi Square Bottle Vase | No.4 Slate Message Board | No.5 Square Wire Tray

If you could travel abroad

and take that 'look' home with you,

where would you go?

Souvenir Stylings: Canary Islands

Hello again!

Beth Dotolo, from Hello, Splendor, here...

Aspiring Kennedy's faithful interior designer.

Do you remember how faithful??

Yes, that's right, so faithful...
I work for free!

Well, Mr. & Mrs. Aspiring Kennedy

are back from a brief jet set

to the Canary Islands.

For this souvenir styling edition,

I wanted to give them a small reminder

of their blissful getaway!

Not everything has to be so literal...

So, we're introducing a hint of canary yellow!

Let's give them just a pop...

A hint to remind them of their quick trip to the Canary Islands...

Because don't we all need

a small reminder

of our escapes?

How do you keep your vacation alive

when you come back to the real world?

Hello Aspiring Kennedy readers!

For those of you I haven't met,

I'm Beth Dotolo,

Aspiring Kennedy's faithful

Interior Designer

(So faithful that I work for free!).

Aspiring Kennedy recently took a trip to Italy!

While I'm insanely jealous,

I've still managed to muster up picks

from some of my favorite Italian designers.

I'm thinking that we need to
infuse a little color into
this Oxford-dweller's life!

1. Missoni Kalahari Rug

2. Amethyst Chandelier

3. Pucci Book

4. Missoni Lisboni Throw

5. Kartell La Marie Chair

Who is your favorite designer out of Italy? Fashion or otherwise!

Hello, Splendor & Nest Interior Design

Souvenir Stylings: Munich, Germany

Hello friends!

It's Beth from Hello, Splendor,

Aspiring Kennedy's faithful friend

and

Interior Designer.

Mr. & Mrs. Aspiring Kennedy

recently travelled to Munich, Germany

and it's my task to help design

a great vacation home for this jet-setting couple!

Aspiring Kennedy is more

of a classic lady,

but, Munich is going through a major

modern design moment.

Think industrial chic...

modern lines...

Lots of light...

But, now for the color...

Should Aspiring Kennedy go bold with red??

Or, should she go safe and serene with white??

Do Tell!

Souvenir Stylings: Oslo, Norway

Hello, Aspiring Kennedy readers!

Beth from Hello, Splendor here...

I'm Aspiring Kennedy's interior designer.

Since moving to Oxford,

Aspiring Kennedy and Mr. Aspiring Kennedy

have been jet setting across the globe.

The first stop in their trek

was Oslo, Norway,

where they visited the famed Ice Hotel...

I got to work on brainstorming...

what would Mr. & Mrs. Aspiring Kennedy's

vacation home in Oslo, Norway

look like?

How could I give them part of the Ice Hotel ??

And how can I translate that look

into an amazing interior

so they can relive the moments

of their amazing vacation together?

A structure made of ice

is a pretty big architectural feat to live up to.

I mean, it's really pretty incredible.

So, as my thoughts of happiness

continue to reign over jealously...

It finally came to me...

Enjoy your vacation home, Lauren & Tyler!

Keep checking back...

I'll be chronicling their travels with a post each week.

I've got to keep up with this jet-setting duo!

Hello, Splendor & Nest Interior Design

Souvenir Stylings: Malibu

Hello there!

For those of us who haven't met,

I am Aspiring Kennedy's interior designer,

Beth Dotolo.

As Aspiring Kennedy travels the globe,

I have taken on the challenge of designing her vacation homes.

With her recent trip to Malibu,

I figured that she must want a beachside abode to reside in.

Something modern...

Something for entertaining...

Something Luxurious...

And, finally,

Something for Cashmere Cowboy

to ride when he visits...

I wonder where Aspiring Kennedy is jet-setting to next??

Happy Trailers to You.

I loved Beth's first piece in her new series

Souvenir Stylings

regarding my recent trip to Palm Springs.

{Can I get an amen?}

So when I went to Arkansas last week,

I considered asking for her design take on my travels.

However, I decided to save up her talent

for my upcoming journeys that are slightly more exotic.

{I pay pretty poorly, so I can't push my luck.}

So here's MY personal vision.

Without further ado:

"Ozark Chic"

If you are wanting to go on

the most unique vacation ever,

check out

The Grand Daddy Hotel

in Cape Town, South Africa

that offers these converted

Airstream Trailers

for accommodation.

How cool is that?

I am Aspiring Kennedy's interior designer and friend, Beth Dotolo! As she travels the globe and dreams of her vacation homes here and there I'm given the task of designing her amazing destination abodes.

And, because Aspiring Kennedy is still... well... aspiring, I get paid in peanuts.

But, it's fun to dream, isn't it??

Since Aspiring Kennedy just traveled to Palm Beach for the 4th of July holiday, I thought I'd help her design her dream vacation home... I'm thinking...

glamorous and chic Palm Beach style...
