This lovely Diane Von Furstenberg set is available through Macy's and is decked out in sweet red and ruffles. Love love love it. 
J.Crew offers this and a few other white leather luggage pieces. Simple and classic.

The talented users of Flickr have somehow made the flavors of these deliciously beautiful items emit from the screen. The above image comes courtesy of Flickr User: Bakerella and features an assortment of red velvet cake balls.
This image comes courtesy of Flickr User: Whipped Bakeshop and truly takes plaid to a new level. The matched Southern Living room focuses on the colors of the cookies and a bit on the pattern, though the plaid is substituted for a checkered bedspread.
This last image comes courtesy of Flickr User: Nanimo and is pretty basic in composition but lends great help for the room. Minimal, White, Clean. I think this Homes and Gardens room is pretty on point.


This lovely living/dining space comes courtesy of Ideal Home and shows how great little pastel hints can be in a white room. 





This great little idea comes from a back of the bookshelf treasure that I acquired from my Mum...Flea Market Finds - Instant Ideas & Weekend Wonders. It suggests using a wire-mesh fireplace screen on top of your vanity/dresser for a display full of character and personal touches. 

Bringing together the simple and understated allow you to combine mismatched items for an overall uniformed appearance. The above room from BHG combines weighty white bedding with a black iron bed frame...a stone plant urn with a porcelain pitcher filled with flowers...a small blue bowl for catch-alls back dropped by a pink wall.
The first comes courtesy of the original Shabby Chic brand. So delicately breathtaking it makes you just want to dive into the computer.
Available through India Rose, this set is equally stunning. With a seriously precious ruffled detail, its as if you're sleeping in a comfy yet fabulous ball gown.
I treated myself to a new ruffled duvet and sham set for the holiday (dog not included) and I'm completely in love with it. As I purchased one larger than my bed so it may be used when I upgrade, the pic doesn't do the actual item much justice. The view below is taken from Target.com and shows the set in its true glory. 
...and this Etsy print.
