The Flatform

The flatform.. yep.. that’s right! The flat-platform shoe.

I picked these up at a thrift store some time last summer and thought.. “Hm.. interesting.. I like these.. I think?”

Little did I know that they would be the hot new shoe on the Spring ’11 runways.. glad I picked them up when I did.

 

Pinky Pink

(Blazer and Shirt – Thrifted, Jeans – Silence & Noise via Crossroads, Shoes – Forever 21, Bag – Vintage LV)

I’m having a love affair with pink.. never in my life have I loved pink so much. My closet is having a pink attack.

Suddenly, I’m super girly and loving the color.. but of course.. I had to 70’s-prep-ify it!

The Night

Inspirations and Elations: Bold Prints

This week’s inspirations:

Loving the bold prints of spring.. worn as one statement or mixed up into one fabulous concoction. Either way.. I will be wearing big, bold and bananas.

Bloomin’ Beautiful

(Shirt – Elsewhere Vintage, Jeans – J Brand Lovestory)

I’ve been waiting for this moment.. the moment I could finally wear this hippie-happy top! I picked it up at my favorite vintage shop during the winter.. and it just needed a bloomin’ beautiful day to bust out.

It reminds me of the Pheobe Philo Chloé days.. feminine and floral.

LOVE!

Inside my Bedroom

One by one the rooms in my home are coming together, and after completing my workspace I moved on to settling the bedroom. Most everything was completed pretty quickly, but there were a few final pieces that took time to find.

Finally, after searching high and low I found the last piece and voilà…the room was ready!

So now I take you inside my boudoir.

Anthropologie Bed

My husband and I bought this bed as a wedding present to ourselves six years ago and I fall more deeply in love with him.. and our canopy bed! I’m a huge romantic and nothing says romance like an antique chandelier hanging right over the bed, and when I discovered this one at a garage sale I knew I had to have it.

This bird on the wall was hunted down at the Long Beach Flea Market. I think it used to be lawn art, but after spraying it a glossy white, I loved the idea of it hanging right next to the bed. The canopy cover was an Ikea purchase and the pillows are from Homegoods.

This chest was a Craiglist find and after a coat of semi-gloss paint, it went from wood to wonderful! I covered the top with vintage frames, antique mirrors and thrift store finds to hold my gems and jewels.

I was overjoyed to have extra space in the master bedroom, and thought it would be lovely to have a sitting and dressing room to prance around in.

This chaise lounge was found while thrifting and I covered it with a fur from ikea for a bohemian touch.

We inherited this beautiful mirror from our first home’s previous owner, and I loved the idea of propping it up for twirling and whirling. The chest was another hand-me-down and I dressed it up in vintage collectibles.

I love spending time in this room. I believe the bedroom should be inspiring, romantic and and full of atmosphere.. and for me it is!

Not So Basic

(Turban – Patricia Field, Sunglasses – Vintage, Blazer and Pants – Thrifted, Tee – Wkshp, Shoes – Forever21)

I’m not really a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, and often I find I don’t have the basics that every closet should have. When shopping, I pick up the basics, but then I am drawn to a statement pair of pants.. and it’s all over.. the statement piece is coming with me.. and the basic is staying put.

This creates a problem!

I need tees, tanks and tops to create layered up looks and 15 bow-tie blouses don’t always work… so when I discovered WKSHP.. I became a very happy girl. I had a solution to my problem.

The WKSHP tees are “basic” but “so-not-basic”! I fell in love with the one above and instantly I was inspired to create a floral-springtime-sunset.

WKSHP works for me!
