Chase the Rainbow

Iridescent, oil slick, or just my obsession... I can't get enough, and my inner 13 year old thanks me for it! The rainbows really lift my spirits! I have a bunch of the items below, and you can guarantee that curling iron is on my Christmas list. I love this 90s revival that has managed to stick around for a while, but being a Realtor and a rather classic dresser, I like to incorporate trends and more fun in my accessories and home as much as possible. I also find that this look goes with a lot - really versatile and matches everything.

Let's get on this mermaid train together, shall we?

Wedding Colors - Part 1

I am that girl. I LOVE Pinterest and wedding planning for my imaginary wedding! Ok, not totally imaginary, but I am a couple of years away...hopefully ;) Also, from what I have heard, it might be good to know what you want before getting engaged as wedding planning can be pretty hectic! I have no idea if I'd want it in the summer or fall, neutral or colorful scheme, traditional or country decor....so, this is my vision boarding for different color options - SUMMER Edition.

Get with the GREY

All the newly renovated homes are jumping on the GREY bandwagon. If you feel like getting with this cool tone, I've got some great ideas for you! Flooring is one of the biggest changes people are making, and when you can't do a dark wood in AZ, why not try a grey laminate - easy to install and easy to clean! If you can't make any huge changes, Restoration Hardware has some beautiful grey fabric choices on many incredible sofas, or splurge on a silk and wool rug from ABC Home (my favorite place for rugs!).  My two favorites though are the grey and white marble wallpaper and the backsplash.  This tile would be gorgeous in a kitchen or a bath, and it's from your local Home Depot. Are you feeling the grey?

Takin' it easy in AZ

My reign in LA is quickly coming to an end, and I will be venturing on to another sunny desert land of cheaper rent and less traffic. Scottsdale! Although I will dearly miss my friends in LA, I am thrilled for this next chapter in my life.  And this chapter is starting with a house...and a legit backyard.  Seriously, it is such a big blank slate of a backyard, that I have zero clue at the moment how to decorate it.  Let's start with what I DO know....the inside...

Winter Travel Wishes

Seriously every time I go to NYC in the winter for work, I wear the same 5 sweaters and spend my whole time envying all the stylish people.  Even though I know I am super lucky to be able to wear the same wardrobe pretty much year round because of the one season LA has, winter clothing intrigues me.  The warm boots, fur, gloves, scarves, and hats all look so cozy.  I'll probably look like I'm skiing down the street in my Patagonia jacket, but for now I wish the below were coming with me...

1) Fur Vest by Meteo

2) Sleep mask by Made by Jill on Etsy

3) Fringe scarf by White and Warren

4) Luggage tag by Shannon Martin

5) Fingerless leather gloves by Mitaine

6) Duffle bag by Danielle Guizio

7) Shearling booties by Tory Burch

Weather Confused Wishes

It's cold, then it's hot, then it maybe might be cold again?  Oh LA, you keep me on my toes and make me want clothes from both seasons...

Shiny Fancy Things

To add to the list of fancy things that I want, but probably won't buy unless I can come up with a really really good reason to spend an inordinate amount of money $$$ ...which I am quite terrific at, but I will blog about these beauties for now instead.
