Happy Monday, everyone!  I figured since it’s the Monday after a 3-day weekend (which seems much more painful than a regular monday), I’d provide you with a little pick me up.  A little bit of pink should perk you right up.

The oversized damask print on this chair is the right mix of fun and sophisticated.

Happy Friday everyone! Today we’re talking about one of my favorite colors of the moment… blush!  It’s such a soft, sweet color that’s one part girly, one part sophisticated.  Added bonus?  It goes great with gold!

Some color combos are classics… black & white, white & gold and the holiday favorite red and green.  Other color combos may have only a moment in time, but for that moment, THEY ARE EVERYTHING!

That’s what comes to mind when I think of the neon & neutral color trend. From decor to fashion, neon and neutral are having a major moment.
