Chic bedroom decor

Sometimes, I feel like I just need to switch things up.  So I am planning on doing a little bit of redecorating in my bedroom.  I want something crisp and clean, almost like the feel of a super high-end hotel.  I need some inspiration.  Any ideas?  I am thinking a white or ivory duvet cover, a chandelier over the bed, and some new lamps in the room.  We already have the 600 thread count egyptian cotton sheets which I reccommend to anyone and everyone.   I need a serious trip to Macy’s and Ikea.

From Rags to Riches

Do you ever have those days where you just want to wear jeans and a tee?  Well you can, and can still look like a fashionista.  All is takes is your favorite comfy tee, your never-throw-them-away jeans and a couple accessories to jazz the outfit up.  Cute shoes, by the way, make any outfit 10x better! xoxo

Add some Pumpkin

Fall flavors and smells are my favorite part of the season change.  I absolutely love pumpkin flavored anything.  You can make any ordinary thing just fabulous with a little pumpkin.

Japanese inspired trends

My honeymoon in Hawaii was amazing.  Maui was definitely a relaxing, peaceful island.  Oahu is where I was able to visit Honolulu and see some new fashion trends from Japan.  Honolulu attracts many Japanese men, women, families, and young adults because it not too far of a getaway from Japan.  The streets of Honolulu are like runways, mixed with high fashion Japanese inspired couture.  A lot of the fashion is referred to as Harajku since that is the area in Japan that has a large shopping district, where Japanese fashionistas gravitate. Harajku inspires a lot of American trends as well. This style goes from subtle floral patterns to punk-style Harajku and colored hair.  In Honolulu, you will see women (and men) with spikey hair, neon leggings, and very bold accessories.  Their makeup is phenomenal as well- full of color and finesse.
