Well… I finally got around to downloading the pictures from our Puerto Rican vacation.  It’s kind of nice when you wait a few days because it gives you some time to reminisce on the great time you had and the fabulous sites you saw.  In this case, I was reminded of all of the beautiful and vibrant colors that infuse the city of Old San Juan… and today, I’m sharing those with you! Enjoy!

Happy Earth Day everyone!

On this earthy day, I’m inspired by the natural beauty of agate stone.  The array of colors and intricate patterns make this stone nothing short of stunning.

Here are 6 ways to add some earthy agate style to your life.

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.

Color Story: Going Green

Today, as I was browsing The Glitter Guide (one of my fave go-to sites for inspiration), I came across the latest ‘Style At Home’ piece featuring Catherine Sheppard of The Life Styled.  I instantly fell in love with her ultra feminine style and quirky accents (love the gold dinosaurs).

On of my favorite vignettes was this one where she accessorizes a console table with beautiful green accents.

I’m absolutely loving this shade of green that adds an air of vibrance to the room and reminds me of summer.  I was so inspired, I decided to scour the web to see what vibrant green pieces I could find.  I was looking for decor in lime and sea-foam shades in particular to keep the summer feel.  Here’s what I found:

1. Flowers – See your local florist 🙂 | 2. Pendant – CX Design, Lumens.com | 3. Chair – Green, 2modern.com | 4. Vase – iittala, 2modern.com| 5. Pillow – PoshTots.com | 6. End Table – Worlds Away, LaylaGrayce.com | 7. Night Stand – UrbanOutfitters.com

Are you looking to incorporate a bit of summer green into your decor?  Any other color you’re obsessing over right now?
