Wedding color inspiration.

6 Comments Posted by on February 29, 2012

I thought I would share some of the inspiration I’ve been gathering for our wedding colors; this has been one of the most fun parts of the planning process. Taking inspiration from fashion and interiors, I’m loving this combination of a bright, cheery green paired with bold, crisp black and white striped accents. The hope is that it [...]

1 Comment Posted by on February 28, 2012

I’m always on the hunt for fashionable bargains, so I’ve decided to start a new series called 5 under $50 and round-up some of my favorite finds on a budget. This combination of hot pinks and natural materials like bamboo and cork has me thinking about Spring! Sweater ($22), Belt ($45), Bracelets ($15), Ballet flats [...]

Oscar Party.

It’s one of my favorite nights of the year: the Academy Awards! I am settling in for the night with some champagne, popcorn,and  movie theater candy to get my celebrity viewing on. I even got some ‘red carpet’ red velvet cupcakes for the occasion. Watching the coverage of all of the ball gowns strutting into the [...]

Cobalt and coral.

8 Comments Posted by on February 24, 2012

I noticed a pattern popping up in my Currently Obsessed profile, lots of cobalt and corals hues — both colors look great on their own and even better when mixed together. I snagged that blue blouse at Old Navy this weekend, and paired it with a chunky coral necklace; lots of color with a lot [...]

A wedding cardigan.

8 Comments Posted by on February 23, 2012

 My wedding planning continues (and by planning, I mean pinning every wedding image I can find on the internet), and now that we’ve found a venue I’m excited to start digging into all of the little details. We’ve settled on a date in late May, and even though I hope it’s warm, there’s still a [...]

Mix and match.

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 22, 2012

Mixing patterns from my closet? Bring it on. Mixing patterns in my home? I’m a little less comfortable there. I perked up and listened when Real Simple featured a spread on mixing bold prints in this month’s issue. While I’m probably not adventurous enough to wallpaper my living room with a dense floral pattern, I [...]

Have you heard of this new site Currently Obsessed? It allows you to “Stalk” your favorite style bloggers and their obsessions. I just started using it this week and have been curating what feels like my own little department store windows. Won’t you sign up and stalk me?

Polka dotty.

A pop of  pattern can make all the difference in bringing your outfit (and maybe even your day) some cheerfulness. I’m eyeing quite a few polka dot pieces right now, especially those adorable Madewell flats and the bright Kate Spade clutch! What’s your pattern of choice? Clutch, blouse, flats, socks

Polaroid gallery.

8 Comments Posted by on February 13, 2012

I love this bathroom makeover from the blog AB Chao. The monogrammed shower curtain, the bowl of nail polish, and the cute striped accessories all caught my eye. My favorite part though is the mini-gallery of Polaroid pictures tacked up with patterned washi tape. I think the impermanence of this little art installation makes it feel so special and unfussy. It [...]
