After a long work day, I am ready to kick back and unwind.
These stylish, elegant, cozy-with-pops of glamor that give a feeling of luxury bedroom suites would be great! I like something in all of them. Which is what makes it so hard for me to decide how I want to decorate my master bedroom suite. Of course an unlimited decorating budget would be great too!
Tomorrow’s giveaway is sooo pretty that I want some for myself… ..you’ll see.

After this and this post last week, you probably thought I was done with the blue posts for a while. I thought I was too. Until I came across la plage by ralph lauren.
The nautical, saturated blues paired with golds, tans and other neutrals had me going again…
This palette not only beckons summer but it is also really versatile. Glam it up with gold or go casual with tans. Or bring them all together for an urban chic look.

Happy hump day dear readers. For those of you on the east coast, hope you are staying warm and safe. Here in the DC area, its been snowing non stop since last night. The area is pretty much at a standstill. Apparently this is the most snow we have had for a long time. I find everything covered in snow pretty inspiring. A great excuse to stay in with a warm fire keeping us cozy and get those creative juices flowing. I created a valentine’s day mood board using a lovely minty green fabric that I got a few days ago in combination with a soft pink.

Inspired by my Christmas decor this year, I am drawn to shades of greenish blues; aqua, turquoise, tiffany blue, mint etc. And I am seeing it everywhere.

One of my fav places to go for inspiration is style me pretty. I just cant get enough of the creative ideas, tabletops, invitations, wedding pictures and mood boards that Abby puts together for us. I was on the hunt for tabletops when I came across this wedding inspiration board. This board was the winner of From Inspiration to Reality challenge #2. I cannot wait to see the pics from the shoot later this month.

How was your weekend my dear friends?
We had a FANTASTIC housewarming party and are thankful to all our friends who came to celebrate with us. We partied into the wee-hours of the night {read: till after dawn}.
I was recently asked by the keybunch to guest post while they celebrated their blog anniversary. This is what I was busy working on. My post was related to an Indian holiday/festival known as Diwali. I created a fall inspired moodboard and some decorating ideas. I encourage you to take a look.
Have a super week ahead.
