Lovely Paintings

I am loving this water color paintings from Miss Capricho
Makes me want to play with watercolors...

Office Inspiration

I am currently gathering inspiration for my soon to be office at home. My desire is for my office to be a space that is organized yet fun and full of inspiration. I want to be able to display my own design work along with tons magazine clippings and photos that inspire me. Here are a few bit that inspire... 
 Love how fun this office is. I also love this shelf. It is similar to this one at Ikea

who doesn't love a chalkboard wall to scribble on?

oh, a big table would be so much more fun than a desk. too bad my office area isnt THAT big.

 What a great way to hang inspiration, pictures and magazine clippings.



 organized inspiration. love it!

I love those shelves to display art or inspiration.

I am loving blue and mustard color palettes... 

 A fun idea to spruce up a boring old bulletin board

I am in love with white walls, white furniture and accessories with pops of color. For example, that rug! Though we've been chatting about offices...we can talk for a second about that fire place! LOVE!

Merry Christmas!

I hope each and every one of you has a very memorable and relaxing holiday!

I heart this color palette

ok ok this image has nothing to do with the holidays. But, it could be easily translated into a holiday color scheme. Don't you think?

Simple. Modern. Lovely.

Oh, this is perfect for those of us that don't have have a fire place! 

sweet wrappings


I love this.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Loving these statement necklaces

lovely colors {and j.crew spring!}

J.Crew, you are amazing. Though I enjoy the styling of the clothing, hair, accessories etc. , I am way more into these color palettes than anything. I am definitely taking a mental note to use some of these gorgeous color pairings in some of my upcoming design projects!

cute centerpiece...


Love this centerpiece idea from Young House Love. I feel like it could easily be translated into a great centerpiece for Christmas, New Years or heck even the fourth of July.

I am sure you've heard of Young House Love... I am a bit obsessed with their design taste. It is right up my alley. They design with a fun, colorful, clean and simple approach. Love it.

I am really loving pastels at the moment: the coral color shown above, mint green... paired with gold accessories. coat by lauren moffatt

crazy brows

I don't know about you all but I have CRAZY eye brows. I am always on the hunt for products to beautify my brows. I recently discovered some great items that I am pretty sold on.

Speed Brow by benefit- its amazing. Keeps brows looking clean all day long. (I have previously tried clear mascara and hair spray...speed brow = winner)

Ah, and my second new love is High Brow. Also by Benefit. I previously used white eye shadow right under my eye brows (gives the lifting effect and also brightens that area). I decided to give high brow a try and its great, too. 

I also use a brown eye brow pencil to make my eye brows look fuller. I had never used a brow pencil until a couple months ago but it really really makes a difference!

I couldn't find an image of it but I also really love GiGi Microwave wax. It is very easy to use and works great. You can get it at Sally's Beauty Supply
