Hollywood Dreams

We made it- it's finally Friday! I'm loving these photos by one of my favorite photographers, Corrie Bond. I feel like the girl in the photos has lived in a small town her whole life and is finally ready to breakaway and move to Hollywood to fulfill her dreams! Or maybe she already lives in Hollywood and just got lost on her way to a fabulous event out-of-town! Either way, I love them! Gorge!

Any fun plans for the next few days? I honestly have no idea what is on our agenda! Definitely hoping for a mani/pedi at some point though!
Hope you have a great weekend :) xoxo

Winter Wonderland

Hello loves! Short post today...I have a really big meeting this morning (more on that later- it may be a few months from now, but I promise I will tell you!). Anyway, as you know, here in Los Angeles it rarely ever gets cold, which is probably one of the only things I don't like about SoCal. But every so often we have a day or two that it gets really cold, and when those rare days arrive, I like to be prepared! Here are a few of my favorite winter pieces that I am pretty much e-stalking right now!

{Ivory Coat $49}

{Sequin Palmwarmers $24}
{Leopard Rainboots $38}
{Jeweled Beret $28}
{Anthropologie Gloves $68}
{Chiffon Floral Necklace $13}

Have a great day xoxo

PS. Random side note: Does anyone else love Thursday night TV as much as I do? The Office, 30 Rock, Real Housewives of Where-eva! Am I missing any good ones?! Ahh excited!

Inspiration: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Classy. Elegant. Inspirational.

Have a good day loves xoxo

Glamorous Closets- Oh to Dream

Do they honestly make closets big enough for all of us girls' clothes, shoes, accessories, etc? I am beginning to think that unless I build my own house there will just never be enough room for all of my stuff! Check out these gorgeous closets that I would pretty much live in if I could!

Take a look inside Mariah Carey's closet. a.m.a.z.i.n.g.:

Dyiiing!

Sequins, Sequins, All Around

When I was out shopping this weekend I noticed that there are still a lot of sequin pieces in stores. I remember this trend last year around this season, but I didn't realize it was still going! I do have a sequin tank that I really love- I think I'll bust that out one day soon! Here are some gorgeous sequin pieces that I wouldn't mind adding to my wardrobe:

{Knitted Sequin Cardigan}


{Jewel Ballerina Flats}


{Wiviana Sequined Mini}


{Kate Spade Sequin Pump}


{Sequin Jersey Tank}


Hope you have a great Monday :) xoxo

Re-Decorating with One (Affordable) Piece at a Time

Happy Friday! Since it's the weekend I thought I'd do a little longer post for you on how changing/ adding just one affordable piece in a room can make a huge difference overall.

Going from being a college student to living in the 'real world' was a huge reality check for me in the 'funds' department, especially when it came to one of my favorite things: home decor. I've realized that making over an entire room(s) in a house is just too expensive to do all at once, thus I focus my energy on changing one or two things at a time to make the room feel completely different. Here's my list of ways to update one thing in your space that will make a difference and won't break the bank.

1. Paint your front door. While buying a new one is always an option, a can of paint and some spare time will cost a lot less. Choose a color like black, red, or even a brighter shade to really notice a big difference. Here's a great tutorial on how to paint a front door yourself.


2. Window treatments. Give any room in your house an instant life by hanging window panels. To hang, place the rod 6 inches to a foot above the top of the window (unless your window meets the ceiling like below). Be sure your panels aren't too short (think high-water jeans) or too long (think baggy pants)- let them touch the floor ever-so-slightly. Target has great window panels here that range from $19-$69.


3. Hang a chandelier. One of the quickest (and most elegant) changes you can make in a room is to hang a chandelier. Some of them can be super expensive, but keep an eye out, as I've seen chandelier's priced as low as $20 at flea markets and antique stores. Check out Chandeliera for some seriously amazing chandi's!


4. Wall Decals. Sounds silly, I know. When I first received a tube of wall decals as a gift I was a bit skeptical. In my mind it compared to putting those silly glow stars on my ceiling when I was 8, and let me tell you, that was just not happening in my house! But trust me, these decals will not leave you feeling like you're living in a galaxy once the lights turn off! I've found some cute Etsy shops here and here that sell really cute ones. Decals can change even the smallest areas of your house (think laundry room, pantry, and otherwise awkward spaces) so don't be afraid to put some stickers on your walls!


5. Hang a mirror. Mirrors are one of my all time favorite accessories. They open up any space and allow for light to reflect within the room, making it feel bigger and brighter instantly.

Other affordable home decor sites that I scour all the time are CB2 and West Elm.

Told ya it was a long one! Thanks for hanging in there with me!
Have a great weekend! xoxo
