WHERE VS. WEAR

Hey y'all, happy Friday!!! My lovely friend, Jonna from Everything But Ordinary, and I are continuing our WHERE vs. WEAR series! Two of our favorite things are fashion and decorating (obvs!) so we decided to combine our loves into one big inspiration collage! We will take one creative item (whether it's a clothing item, home decor item, picture, etc.) and create an inspiration collage for your wardrobe and home! I will give you ideas on WHERE you can use this inspiration and I will show you how you can WEAR this inspiration! Sounds fun right?!

 

    Todays inspiration is a colorful paisley print. I have to admit, it was a bit difficult to find chic paisley prints for interiors but with a glass of wine some dedication and pinterest searches I found it. I found the cutest and chicest paisley print wallpaper! Sah cute!

HIGH FIVE FOR FRIDAY

1. I got my hair did!!!  I was debating between getting some red/copper or to just go lighter and when my girlfriends all went light, I had to too. I am loving the lighter hair as it makes me look tanner and its gotten me so excited for Spring/Summer!

2. I got these pink ikat pants from Gap for only $8! Yep, you read that right, $8, now that's a steal!

3. My sweet baby girl Melrose taking a nap after playing with her BFF. I just think shes the cutest!

4. Anyone else obsessed with this song? I listen to it on repeat. All day. All week. Obsessed. Which is funny because I am not a fan of Adam Levine, he seems like a tool, but I like this song.

5. I am so excited for St. Patrick's day and I really wish I had this shirt to wear to tomorrow's parade! This shirt is perfect because 1. my last name is Bottoms and 2.  I love beer! How could it get any more perfect? Tomorrow is a big day here in Dallas, there is a huge parade, Snoop Dog is performing (WTH didnt know he was still around??) and lots and lots of green beer! Super pumped!  Anyone else doing anything fun for St. Patrick's day?

FOUR FAVORITES

Happy "hump" day everyone!! I can't believe its already Wednesday, where has this week gone? Today I am revealing my Four Favorites of the week.

1. On Monday I received 3 free samples of laura mercier's eyeshadow! My coworkers wife is a makeup artist for them and she sent him with some goodie bags to hand out to some of the ladies here, what a sweet gal! My favorite of the 3 is Bamboo, however I also received Gilt and Primrose (which I used as blush today!)

2. I am obsessed with Maybelline's Color Whisper and need to get more colors! I currently wear Orange Attitude all day, every day. Also my April Glamour magazine says orange is the new lip color for spring, one step ahead of ya Glamour!

3. I. LOVE. ESSIE. I am thinking I need a mani/pedi with the Maximillian strasse-her for St. Patrick's Day this weekend!

4. I just got my hair did on Saturday (I went blonde for spring!) and bought this uh-mazing Sebastian mousse! If you have thin hair like me do yourself a favor and go buy this! Insta-volume!

DRESSING ROOM MOOD BOARD

It is my all time dream to one day own a house that will be big enough for my very own dressing room! A room so feminine and pretty that I wont ever want to leave as I would be surrounded by all my clothes, makeup, jewelry and posh decor! I put together a mood board that represents just that, only without the clothes, makeup and jewelry.

CITY LIVING

Today's Lonny Magazine sneaky peak is of Lonny's Editor in Chief Michelle Adams! I love how she has left her apartment walls white and left the windows uncovered and used the accessories to bring color and soul into this space. She uses color and pattern in her furniture, decorative accessories and artwork and the space just screams glamour girl!

My favorite pieces in her home are: lucite end table, moroccan pillows, dot painting, and cheetah ottoman.

NEUTRAL PALETTE

This issue of Lonny Magazine is just AH-MAZE-ING! I will probably showcase each interior as they are all that good! The below images are of Jo Malone London headquarters. The designer did such a great job of keeping with a neutral palette but adding in luxurious items to give this space an overall sophisticated feel. And that chandelier.. breathtaking! I am more than crushing on that!

WHERE VS. WEAR

Hey y'all, happy Friday!!! My lovely friend, Jonna from Everything But Ordinary, and I are starting a series that we can't wait to introduce to all of you!  Two of our favorite things are fashion and decorating (obvs!) so we decided to combine our loves into one big inspiration collage!

With all of the neon and bright colors that have been forecasted to be huge this spring, we couldn't help but start this series with a bright and feminine item.  Meet... the Athena Skirt.  {oooh.... aahhhh...}  Yes, she's gorg.  And over my price range.  But Miss Athena was still the perfect inspiration for our Where vs Wear challenge. Now let's get our inspiration on!
