Pink Bags

June 08, 2015

Happy Monday! I am starting the week off with a punch of pink! I mentioned last week that I didn't own a pink clutch! Are you in shock at that statement? I know I was... You would think that I would own at least one... if not two pink bags. I got straight to work looking for the perfect bag to own. Perfect is a term that can encompass many things for many people. I found these to be among my top of the list, and to say I found a few is an understatement. For me personally, each of these bags below would fit nicely into my wardrobe. I really have a tough decision narrowing down my favorites. In a perfect world I would own each and every one of these. But for now I think I will start with my first one! Can you guess what bag below is on the top of my list? Leave me a comment and tell me what you think my favorite is, and which one is your favorite!

How to style a maxi dress 3 ways

June 03, 2015

Getting the most wear out a maxi dress can sometimes be difficult. Today I am sharing with you how with a quick change up of a few things you can maximize your maxi!

Let me just start by saying this is a strapless dress too. First up is the casual... running errands, day look. So maybe you have a list of things to do and comfort is on the top of the list. I rolled up the ends and sleeves to my chambray shirt, added my GiGi NY Madison cross body, and slipped into my converse. Casual, comfy, and hands free!

For the second look, Let's imagine I have a tan for starters.... Ok but seriously, this is a casual look for an afternoon with your girlfriends, or a day date with your guy!

For the last look, I dressed this look up by adding a leopard cardigan, a statement necklace, and slid on these fun mules. I took off the removable strap from my Blair Ritchey PAK to use it as a clutch. Presto... chango!

White Out

From distressed jeans to flared, it seems white denim is everywhere right now. You last saw me style mine here, and you should expect to see them again! These have got to be the most comfortable pair of jeans. Wearing white on your rear you would think might make you a bit self conscious, but I felt quite the opposite in these! These pink sling backs really adds a punch too I think! Have you tried an all white outfit? Would you? I wasn't too sure at first that I would feel comfortable, but for me the scarf really helped. One thing I realized is that I do not own a pink clutch! What??? I know. I have started looking for the right pink and have it narrowed down to a few. Who knows, I may need two! ;)

Master Bedroom Reveal

June 01, 2015

This room has truly been a labor of love. I've put more thought into this room than any other room in my home. Usually I can pull together the décor and finish a room up in a relatively short amount of time. . .not this time. I had a vision for how I wanted my bedroom to look. This design journey began in my head over a year ago with only a few minor idea changes; different fabric for the pillows here, all white bedding rather than the taupe linen duvet cover there. All in all, for me, the most important detail remained the same - creating a calming and peaceful place to retreat and relax.

I have to always be considerate of the fact that this is not just my room. To my surprise, Joe was completely onboard with the touches of pink. He would not have been happy with a pink explosion! We literally stripped the room, from the bed and wall color to the carpeting. The only original pieces left in the room are our night stands. However, I do want to replace them with mirrored chests to match my other pieces and as soon as I find them in the right size I will.

I can't tell you how much I love this wall color. It truly lives up to its name, Versatile Gray from Sherwin Williams. It is the same paint we used in my office which you can see the full design post of here. I used the below colors as my palette for the entire room. Soft neutral colors with a slight pop of color in the brighter pink pompom throw, the pillows and the abstract art.

During the building process, I had outlets installed for both cable and electric higher up on the wall so that they could be hidden by the television. Unfortunately, I didn't have a way to hide the DVD or cable box so I made a sleeve out of matching linen fabric to cover the unsightly cords that otherwise stand out.

I tried out two other rugs in my bedroom before finally finding this one at Rugs USA. This is not my first rug from Rugs USA, so I was confident I would receive a rug with great quality and color accuracy. I was right. Not only does the color coordinate with my room, I love how it feels beneath my feet.

This is my favorite corner to sit with my laptop, to read a book, or catch up on my reality TV. I searched and searched for a lamp perfect for this space and finally found one with a rectangle base and shade from Lamps Plus. I was looking for a lamp that would not protrude too far into the room so this rectangular shape was important to me. A bonus with my lamp is it has a floor on/off switch!

Have you tried sleeping on a silk pillow case yet? If not, you should! I have to admit what they say is soooo true. It really does make a difference with your hair and skin. There are several brands out there so be sure to research their silk content. Slip Silk Pillowcases sent me this pink (of course) pillowcase and I am sold. I will never go back to a cotton pillowcase.

My hope is that you love this room as much as I do.

Lamps // Bed // Mirror chest ( almost identical) // Rug c/o // Pouf // Mirror side table (Sold out but I have this one too) // Juju Hat // Pillows (I made) // Abstract art (no longer available) // Woman Silhouette art ( similar ) // Slip Pillowcase c/o // Floor Lamp c/o // Pom pom throw // Monogram pillow // Love print //
