What I’m loving lately…
I would definitely work out more if I had this gym bag… definitely!
A high impact DIY with two of my favorite things… sequin and gold
I’m absolutely loving the simplicity of this light fixture. Simple yet chic!
Perfect artwork for any nursery. I love the fact that it’s totally gender neutral.

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.

Are you bold enough to rock the neon & neutral color trend?

No one can deny that Miss Diane Von Furstenberg is one of the most fabulous women on the planet. I mean talk about ageless beauty!!
A couple of months back I got to visit the Diane Von Furstenberg – Journey of a Dress exhibit at LACMA. Thought I’d give you all a little taste of the fabulousness that is DVF!
Just gorgeous, right?!?

I mentioned before that Keira’s nursery came together with a mix of splurges, bargains and DIY projects, and for this last post I’m highlighting 2 of the DIY projects.
This was a super simple DIY! Find a simple white dresser with clean lines, replace the boring knobs with some chic brass hardware and voila!
This project takes a little more time, but is still super simple. Start with craft feathers (I used white and pink), dip the tip of each feather in gold metallic paint paint (we know how I like anything gold dipped), and then sprinkle gold glitter on top. Once the feathers are dry, frame them and you have your own custom one-of-a-kind artwork!
Well that officially wraps up the mini-series on Keira’s nursery. Hopefully you enjoyed it and got a little bit of inspiration along the way.
Coming soon are new installments of the Here & Now series, a host of new trend posts and a brand new series I’m starting this year.
Ciao for now…

As promised, I’m back with more details on Keira’s nursery. Last post I highlighted some of the key large pieces in the room, but we all know that they key making a room feel put together is the styling.
Lucky for us, many of the cute pieces in the room were gifts from friends and family, but you really don’t have to spend a ton of money to add some personality to a space.
Piggy Bank – Tiffany & Co. | Corduroy – Amazon
Sleep Sheep – Amazon
Bird & Feather Prints – One King’s Lane (no longer available); Frames & Mats – Aaron Brothers
Circo Mobile – Target
Frame – Cost Plus World Market (in store only) | Picture – my Princess Keira 🙂
Well, that’s all for now. I have just one final post about the nursery that I’ll share over the weekend. Hope you’re enjoying it.

Educational and adorable. I completely fell in love with this piece of art and just had to buy it for the nursery.
I’m dreaming of wearing stilettos again (once I give birth and these cankles go away ;-)) This pair is classic but still make a statement.
These coasters are functional, yes… but more importantly, they are gorgeous! A perfect housewarming gift… assuming you’re not on a strict budget 🙂
I think this rug is stalking me. I see some version of it everywhere I look… in stores, on Pinterest, in magazines. It can only mean one thing… I have to have it!

If you’re like me, you’re always looking for ways to make a high impact statement in a room on a low-impact budget. DIY framed “art” is one of my favorite ways to add a gorgeous and inexpensive finishing touch to a room (plus it’s super easy).
SUPPLIES: First start with a piece of decorative paper, fabric or gift wrap you love (if using gift wrap, I recommend using one that has a matte finish). I chose the fabulous paper I was so excited about here. Next you’ll need a great frame and a picture mat. Make sure you have double-sided tape and scissors on hand, and you’re ready to DIY.
FINISHED PRODUCT: Put it all together and you’re done… easy as pie!
IN THE ROOM: Assemble two hanging them side-by-side, and you can really make a statement!
BTW: Wondering where to find great paper to get inspired. These are some of my faves: Papyrus, Paper Source, Snow & Graham & Kate’s Paperie
Lips Print – Made by Girl
