Gold Star: Gold Heeled

I love the unexpected gold heels on these booties.  Something about them just screams mod! Twiggy would definitely approve.

Inspiring Interiors: Subdued Tones with High Glamour

(Walls that are painted in the slightest color of grey)

(The cage-like chandelier looks like a flea market find)

(Buttery yellow walls provide a warm and comforting environment)

(What a gorgeous crystal chandelier)

(Shimmery tones of pink and silver are perfect with the lucite console table below)

(Powder blue walls in the kitchen are unexpected, but beautiful)

(Tufted dining chairs evoke pure glamour)



I love the subdued tones of the rooms above. From the buttery yellow walls in the bedroom to the slightest shades of grey in the living room, the interiors above evoke nothing but pure glamour.  It is no wonder, these interiors are from just one of Jennifer Lopez's homes.

What I Am Loving Right Now - DIY's

Here are some great DIY's that I am itching to try right now...

*Eau de Salvage - I love the idea of taking something that others might deem as trash and making something beautiful out of it.  This idea is genius! Turning an old wooden fence into a wine rack is really inventive with a side of rustic.  If I were to make this I would paint it white. 

*Ombre Hand-Dyed Vases - I love flowers, so my next love shortly there after has to be vases.  I have made my own by simply wrapping decorative printed paper around a tin can, but discovering this DIY, I think that I am officially ready to branch out.  This idea creates such a beautiful result and the colors the colors of the vase will only accentuate the hues of the flowers.

*DIY Envelope - I love stationary, whether handmade or store bought, I still cherish that idea of receiving a handwritten note over an email.  I have made many homemade cards using stamps, ribbon, fabric, etc, but I always have to buy an envelope to go along side; however, this is no longer then case! I discovered this template to make your own envelopes and will be trying this DIY out shortly, after all the holidays are coming, so I better start cranking. 

*Floral Garland - I know that it is almost that time of year when the white lights are unpacked and evergren garland will fragrant the room; however, my love for flowers doesn't fane during the winter months.  I think that my adoration actually grows.  I would love to make this floral garland out of light pastel paper. This would be perfect if I was hosting a briday shower. 

*Putting it on the Shelf - Too many books on a book shelf can create the feeling of clutter.  I love this idea of making books on a book shelf into a sort of collection with uniform color and design.

*Mirror, Mirror on the Wall - I am quite smitten with the idea of making your own mirror arrangement, so when I found this idea, I was immediately enticed.  I love the idea of using an IKEA hexagonal mirror and creating your own shapes.  This DIY is a definite must!
