DIY Wednesday

We have loads of material remnants in our storage room, and have been looking for useful ways to get it out of our hair. We found this easy idea on Pinterest and thought this would be a perfect way to balance the need to purge and the desire to shop into a crafty project. We'll be busy this weekend. Try it, and we'll show you ours if you show us yours. :) 

XOXO,

Be the Light with Spring Metallics

Why not shake things up and go for metallics this season. These pieces prove all metal isn't heavy, and it sure is chic. In feminine silhouettes, tailored pieces or sporty styles, step out of the box and shine!

Happy Spring!

2014 Oscars: V FOR VANITY FAIR

The post-Oscar Vanity Fair fete is the most coveted ticket in town, with a who's who in entertainment celebrating tinsel town.  The trend of the evening was the ever-seductive plunging neckline. Here are our favorites featuring the decolletage of Hollywood's glitterati. 

Enjoy!

Mom Style Monday: Rest & Relaxation

Here is a tribute to rest and relaxation. With some beautiful beds and just as lovely lounge wear, we celebrate the bit of shut-eye we are able to squeeze into our hectic lives.  Sleep in style, my friends!

Mom Style Monday: Simply Chic

As a new mom and creative professional I needed to make a few adjustments to my wardrobe to accommodate all of the activities that fill my days. I have embraced flats, wear more sturdy, washable fabrics, insist on structure at the top, keep colors clean and always add an interesting accessory. Follow these rules to stay simply chic.

Scarlet Fever

Never be intimidated by the awesome intensity of scarlet red.  Red is daring, passionate and anything but modest. It adds warmth instantly, and vividly catches the eye. Whether you're using small accents or a bold statement piece, Red speaks in volumes. Surely these fearless additions will light your fire.
