Good Morning lovelies! I hope your week is off to a good start! The weather is beautiful here on the West Coast! We are truly spoiled with this beautiful sunshine! This is the time of the year, I start breaking out all of my dresses. I have talked in the past about how much I love to wear dresses, because I think they are so comfortable, flattering and feminine! I have had this particular dress for a while now. It was my Eater dress a few years ago. I loved the modern floral print and guess what its from Target! I paired it with a belt a shoes from Nordstrom’s, a little high and low styling, is always my fave! Do you all enjoy mixing high and low brands together?

Hi lovelies! Happy Friday! I know I have been telling you my life is crazy busy, and I haven’t been posting as often the past couple weeks, but my blog is super important to me and I want to thank all my followers for your support and sweet comments! It really means a lot to me and I think its important to tell you often, how grateful I am for all of you, I digress!

Today I am excited to talk to you about color! Now that spring is here, a lot of people change out their pillows add flowers to vases, etc. to bring color and life into their home. I wanted to give you 5 helpful and fun tips on how to add color to your home this spring and summer! These tips are inexpensive and super easy!

Enjoy!

1. Painting a drab, old dinning room table, your favorite color! Paint is a quick and easy way to add color to furniture.

2. Add pops of color in unexpected places like the inside of bookcases or cabinets.

3. Add colored vases and flowers to a kitchen or any room in your home!

5. Paint a wall an accent color. If your not brave enough to paint an entire wall, you could paint a small wall like shown below.

Good Morning! Happy Hump day lovelies! I hope you all have had a good week thus far. Sorry that I haven’t been posting as frequently as I would like, but between my hubby’s birthday and his surprise birthday party, this past week was very busy! Oh and I ran a 5k too, this past weekend, which was so much fun and for a great cause! I even shaved 2 minutes off my time! I was so excited to wear this outfit, because I have had this top in my closet for months and these pants I bought just before our cruise, and I haven’t worn either of them until now! I loved the bright colors, mixed with the jewel tones, I thought they looked so pretty together! Hope you enjoy!

Hello lovelies! Sorry my posting has been a little sporadic! Ever since we got home from the cruise, life has been pretty busy! This last weekend was so much fun! I was blessed to attend two fabulous gala events! On Sunday, I wore this fabulous yellow Maggy London dress to a Children’s Cancer Fashion show! Attire, was spring dresses and check out my Prada shoes, I purchased these after my very first “real” interior design job! Anyways, those kids and families were so awesome and they are so strong! Dillard’s sponsored the Fashion show and allowed the children to choose outfits based on their fashion sense. They all looked so cute! It truly makes you count your blessings and thank God for your health! My mom and I took a few photos around the hotel’s property, the flowers were simply gorgeous!!! Enjoy!

Hi dolls! How was your weekend? I didn’t even feel like I had a weekend! I worked 6 1/2 hours on Saturday, cleaned the house, church on Sunday with more cleaning of the house! I’ve discovered that weekends are never long enough, and I am entering one of the busiest weeks of the season! I have three major events this week at work along with a bachelorette party, hair appointment, wedding rehearsal and a wedding! A little stressed, but I can do it, I have done it before! Have a fabulous week and I’m praying that my week goes smoothly!

XO,
