The Indoor S'more

Here is a little way to add some remembrance of the warm summer to the cold winter months, indoor s'mores! Not only when you close your eyes and bite into this summertime sweet will you feel as if you are sitting around the campfire, it will also leave you craving for s'more! Bake them in the oven just as you would around a campfire or add some flair by using cereal instead of graham crackers or drizzling chocolate across the top.

 

 

Bring the outdoors in with my favorite treat!

Enjoy,

xoxo

 

A Toast of Red

Cheers to the new black of the season, wine red. This romantic color is perfect for the cold winter months. The deep red stands out among neutrals, being the perfect accent color, adding flair and elegance to any outfit. It is a perfect color to wear with winter still knocking at our door before the soft, chic colors of spring set in.

Use red wine as an accent color to any outfit. It adds a pop of color to an all black outfit. A deep red is also the perfect nail and lip color during these cold winter months.

 

 

It is the perfect color for special occasions as well! As the main focus this almost plum red, stands out among the crowd and can be paired with almost any neutral you already own.



 

Raise a glass and try adding a few elegant pieces of this color to your wardrobe!

A Clean Slate

Greetings! It is the middle of January and the cold front has settled in with no signs of leaving anytime soon. As those below zero temperatures diminish any chance of venturing outside, the indoors have become sanctuary.

 

As my hibernation instincts set in, I often feel bored and trapped. That is why I have been obsessed with crafting. My newest is with chalkboard paint! Below are examples of how this easy craft brings color, fun and organization into everyday life.

 

Create a slate above your desk or work station to jot down
notes or reminders.

Paint an old dresser or desk and label it by what each drawer
contains. It is an easy way to bring organization and fun to a
piece of furniture

Paint chalkboard paint on the inside of old frames to display
in your home or office. It isn't permanent so a different
quote or picture can be drawn with each new season.

Create chalkboard labels! It is perfect because as the contents inside
the jars change, you can change the name on the label as well.
Perfect for in the kitchen, bathroom, or on your home desk!

 



Pinspiration

Creativity strikes, often time, from the most unthinkable of places. Today's post is a collaboration of random pictures that have inspired me. Whether they ignite a spark in me to travel the world or ground me to simplicities that can be enjoyed in life, each photo pushes me to keep creating and dreaming.

The calming peacefulness of tropical blues

A reminder that life should never get too busy for a cup of

coffee and a good book

 

We live in a world awaiting to be adventured

 

Sometimes no plans make for the best plans



Clutch Me

Clutches are a great way to add a pop of color or texture to an outfit. They come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate the necessities that need to be carried in them. It is a great accessory to grab on your way out the door, whether it be to a party, night on the town or work event, a cluth is the added bonus needed for any occasion.

 

Below are examples of how a clutch introduces just enough elegance glam to an outfit without taking away from the main focus, you!

 

The Standard Stripe

Horizontal or vertical, thick or thin, stripes are in! I love how stripes can give any outfit that classic look. It is an effortless way to twist an outfit by giving it a vintage feel. Try stripes on not only the top but also the bottom!

 

What are some of your favorite classic looks?

Trail Blazer

There are many occasions in life where it is hard to know what type of clothing is appropiate. Never knowing when to dress up or dress down is usually the issue for me. My new trend is adding a simple black or tan blazer to an outfit. With jeans and a t-shirt a blazer adds the sense of being formal while still looking efortless. It is the perfect addition over a sports t-shirt at any sporting event and even with hair in a messy bun, over a dress, you are ready for a night out!
