Decorating Question?

Answer: Select a wallpaper with some major WOW and take those small walls from drab to FABU! Forget the days of keeping a powder room demur and oh-so simple. Take that sweet small space and give it a pop of personality.

Headbands are back and they’re all grown up.
TREND ALERT: Hair trends are happening for Fall and let me tell you no one and I mean no one can could have predicted that headbands would be back. Yes my lovelies,the headband of the 90’s (remember Hilary Clinton wore them in droves) has made a comeback and it is big.
Headbands for Fall 2019 are padded giving a sort of halo (or as I like to think crown) effect to the wearer. Many come with additional embellishment which one can decide to wear on depending on the occasion.
Headbands for Fall are back and bigger than ever. Enjoy!
Did you know about this latest food craze?I guess we can forget cheese plates and passed Hors d’oeuvres—it’s all about the Grazing Table!
If you’re not familiar with this latest culinary trend, let me break it down for you. It’s called the Grazing Table. Basically, it’s an “epic abundance of food meant for grazing. Tables are filled to the brim with a bevy of fresh fruits, veggies, breads, sliced meats, crackers, antipasto,relishes, sweets,sushi-whatever your heart and food preference desires. Grazing tables originally started in Australia, and began first popping up at weddings here in America. The art of grazing is growing so quickly that you can hire a catering company to put your table together or do it yourself.
The grazing table gives you options galore as to what type of grazing you want to do. All you need to do is decide what type of food you want to serve and go from there. I have a feeling this grazing phenomenon might just be the perfect party solution for taking us all off of social media and making us all more social in person. Here’s to Grazing.
There seems to be a lovely flow as of late, when it comes to Summer tops. I’ve noticed a plethora of long flowing tops over a tailored or cropped pant. The look is so chic and might I add slimming when mindful of 2 simple style rules.
1.No matter how long or flowing the top, pair it with a tapered or form fitting pant.
2. Wear heels to elevate any and every look. Heel height need not be sky high- a simple 2 inch heel or wedge can work wonders.
Follow these two simple rules and you will look long, lean and oh so tres’ chic.
July…we are officially midway into the year and it’s time to reassess, rethink and reboot. How wonderful that July lands smack dab in the middle of the year -complete with Summers warmer days and a respite from our hectic schedules. It’s the perfect time to enjoy some downtime or perhaps even partake in a long awaited vacation.
Embracing downtime is so important to our mental and physical well being. Taking a break allows time to reassess,rethink and reboot your original goals for 2019.
Here’s a simple three step plan to get you where you want to go before the year is over…
Reassess: Dd you make a list of all that you wanted to accomplish this year. (You know you did). Pull that list back out and check in with yourself. Are those goals still part of your plan?
Rethink: In reviewing your goals is it time to refocus your efforts? In a word it’s time to Tweak! (Take pen to paper or make a list via any technical device of your choosing and insert the steps needed to accomplish your goals.
Reboot: Now that you’ve reassessed what you want to accomplish and made your plan it’s time to reboot. You have a fresh focused account of what you want to accomplish. A clear plan combined with a renewed focus will aid in getting you to the finish line of your desires.. Remember…. Everything and anything can be accomplished by taking that first step..
Baby Steps combined with a leap of faith work wonders for getting you the life of your dreams. .
Happy Independence Day. It’s THE day to wear a little red,white and blue. Now if you don’t want to go “full out flag mode” in your apparel choices I’ve put together three apparel items to inspire you. Here’s to a fashionable and patriotic day ahead. Enjoy.
Wishing you a fun, festive and safe 4th of July. God Bless America.
The 4th of July is next week. If “style” memory serves me correctly- that is THE DAY when most of us choose to wear stripes. This patriotic salute to the stripe pattern is commonly worn in the color combo of red, white and blue. These 3 colors are indicative of honoring July 4th,worn together or perhaps choosing only one of the three colors can be tricky when it comes to wearing any sort of stripe pattern. One wide horizontal stripe worn over the wrong area of your body and you could appear 10 pounds heavier (and that’s before the potato salad)! To ensure that your “stripe story” is on point and ensure that you look your very best I’ve listed a few simple STRIPE style rule(s) to keep in mind:
2. Wide horizontal stripes make an area appear larger.
3. Vertical (up and down) stripes give the illusion of making you appear taller and thinner.
4. Diagonal stripes intersecting at the waist-appear to cinch the area in and define the waist.
5. Combining horizontal and vertical stripes: Note how the vertical stripe pattern elongates the leg, and the horizontal stripe pattern accentuates the bust .
Sunday. What better day to sleep in,lounge around and relax in anticipation of the week ahead. Let’s face it, we all lead some pretty hectic lives and there’s no better room to do some major relaxation aka sleep than your bedroom.
I have always leaned toward a bedroom decorated in the most neutral of colors because quite frankly… it’s a whole lot more “calming” than a space filled with bold colors, wild prints or bright lighting.
Here are a few of my favorite bedrooms spaces that are sure to bring out your inner ommm.
When in doubt just….Keep believing. Sending prayers that all is working out for you today and everyday.
