Little Treasures

May 7, 20121 Comment

For a pirate, finding gold in the sea may be finding treasures, but for fashionistas, finding awesome, unique finds are true treasures to us, right? So I decided, when I come across something extra special or just plain cool, I will share these “little treasures” with you. Please share your little treasures as well!

Glitter Me Fabulous

There is something magic about glitter. I think it’s the whole idea of fairy-tale dust & just feeling super fabulous when you are wearing some extra sparkle. I have managed to glitter pretty much everything I own from my eyes to my cupcakes. Yes, I’ve been pretty glittery lately. Next time someone asks me how I am doing, I am going to say, “Glittery.” 🙂

Small Space Decor

April 24, 20121 Comment

As a twenty-something newly married, working gal on-the-go, I wanted to make the most of our small space condo. I also wanted to make my space feel like home by customizing and decorating to my personal style. With a limited budget and some resourceful creativity, here is what we did to our place.

1. Bold master bedroom.

We were a little nervous at first but went for it. The color here is Benjamin Moore Miami Green. Comforter is Martha Stewart Shimmer collection. Oh, & Jingles made it into this picture, this is her fave room because we get a lot of sunlight here. 🙂

2. Beach themed bathroom.

Since beach-themed items are accessible and ~~cheap~~ free on the beach, it was the easiest decor to pull off in a bathroom. From real seashells to a bag of seaglass, these accents were very inexpensive & effortless.

3. Wine as Decor.

Both pretty & extrememly handy. Wall Wine racks- IKEA

4. Safari Living Room.

Why not use animal print for pillow couches? With a little real photography from a family member in Africa and some bold prints, we were able to pull of a chic looking space for our living room.
