Spring Mornings...

Don't you just love waking up to the prettiest morning spring light? Flowers in bloom and morning light are two of the many things I love about Spring...!!!

I am a week and a half away from the Fundraising event that I am organizing... and there are still so many things to do!! Today I'll is a key day and tomorrow I am having six school moms come to my home for "Crafts and Mimosas"... we have more than 50 pom-poms to make!!

On another note, I saw this video today that talks about habits and how or mind responds to orders, and how at the end we set the tone of what happens to us!! And it mention that it takes 21 days to you change our habits... so if everyday you wakeup telling yourself "Today is going to be a great day.." by day 22 you don't have to keep telling it to yourself, you already believe it! So here it goes... TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!!!!

Decor Inspiration: Art Love

Love how art allows you to add a splash a color to the decor! You can have a serene room done in cream hues but add a vibrant paint and some colorful pillows and you can totally transform your room. Lately, I'm totally coveting abstracts art in lilacs and coral.. they look so pretty!

Decor Inspiration: Soft & Simple

Love the serenity of the bedroom with its cream walls and its strong design. When decorating I love introducing something unexpected, in this case the African stool, that brings some softness and balances out the strong lines of the design! I always have a soft spot for white/cream walls and dark wood floors, and I guess I can also say the same thing for dark wood ceiling...!!

Hope you had a relaxing weekend and are off to a great week!

Fashion Trend Inspiration with Hanneli Mustaparta

... one of the strongest trends this Spring is about strong, bold colors. And I like the trend but with a classic twist, chic. That's why I totally fell in love with this editorial {5days 5looks 1girl} done by Vogue with Hanneli, full of bold stylish splashes of trendy hues!

I had my eyes on the Stella McCartney A-line jacket for quite sometime now... and it looks great with the green Tory Burch mini bag!! The light blue vintage shirt is perfectly paired with a {OMG fabulous} Yigal Azrouël pencil skirt! The mustard color and shape of that skirt is amazing. The last look is basically head-to-toe blue, with a Stella McCartney jean textured top with a back zipper detail, and a splash of purple Miu Miu bag.

Now this editorial makes me feel ready for Spring!! Are you ready for spring fashion trends? Have you done your spring shopping yet?

Hair Inspiration: Le Chignon

Le Chignon (shēn-yŏn', shēn'yŏn') n. An arrangement of long hair in a roll or knot at the back of the head. Could be described as just about any updo gathered into a knot, not necessarily the smooth, classic ballerina bun.

Nothing more romantic that a chic chignon... no matter what you are wearing a cute up do always gives you a certain flare!

I have a couple of exciting news coming up that I have been working..so apologize if the post are coming slow. ow's your day going?

Sponsored Post: The New Pearle Vision Try-On Tool

I love wearing glasses {plus the fact that I actually need to..} but buying them is another story. I usually try to many glasses and end up buying more than one pair because I can't make up my mind. So when Pearle Vision approached me to test the new online try-on-tool I jumped at the idea of trying glasses without leaving my house!!
The Try-On Tool allows you to upload your photo (or choose a model’s image) and virtually try on a wide variety of frames in different shapes and styles.

Here is my experience with the tool.

It's very easy to use. You can upload your photo, choose a model or do what I did, use your laptop camera and take an instant picture. And then you can play with different shades until you find the ones you like.


Here are a couple of my pictures with two different frames that I like! Actually I was surprised of how easy it was to take a picture and find the frames that I like.

The Tool also allows you to:
*Share your photos on Facebook to find out what your friends think of your new look.
*Add photos of you in your favorite frames to a Voting Gallery to compare styles and let friends pick their favorites.
*Take a style quiz to get a frame recommendation based on your face shape, lifestyle, etc.
*Enhance your shopping experience by printing a list of your favorite frames to take to your local Pearle Vision store associate

Pearle Vision offers a clearly different optical experience by helping you find your perfect pair of eyeglasses before going to the store. Try frames online, vote for your favorites, or get a style recommendation at try Pearle Vision Try on Frames.

Spring Wedding Inspiration: A Lavish Picnic at Martha Stewart's Bedford home.

Leave it to Martha Stewart to host a fabulous fete in her Bedford backyard! So many fabulous details and filled with inspiration..!! Love the main centerpiece, done with white Japanese beauty berry branches and peegee hydrangea. Wood cake stands where used to display different vintage inkwells. Very simple and chic...!

For the buffet menu a rustic spread was set to mimic the farmer's market. Love the box setting, it's different and rustic. I am definitely saving this for future entertaining inspiration. Even for a kids party you can use tray settings in fun colors..!! another cute detail that I love, garden scissors were placed next to rosemary and basil so guests could snip fresh herbs into their dishes.... so rustic chic!

To end such lavish fete a three square buttercream cakes -- one vanilla, one chocolate, and one marble to symbolize the new union...!! Martha never disappoints...!

Hope you are having a great day!

DIY Spring Projects: RickRack Pillowcases

I think this is such a cute project for your kids or even your guest room sheets. Actually I am thinking I could even do it in some white napkins to bring some spring color {see what I'm telling you pretty soon I'll be rick racking everything}.

Instructions:Gluing rickrack in place makes it a snap to sew; dot trim's points with fabric glue, and, using a ruler to keep a straight line, lay rickrack on fabric. Let dry. Sew with clear thread.

Source: You can buy rickrack at PurlSoho, The RIbbon Jar, Cheap Ribbons {their wholesale pricing is unbelievable.. specially when putting an event together and you need quantity! I am actually buying lots of ribbon from them for the next event I am working on}.

What Spring project do you have i mind or you are actually working on?

What I Love Today: Clare Vivier Clutches

Clare Vivier Clutches

After seeing {this} I have been obsessively looking for a blue clutch! Something that would look chic, but since is more like a trendy bag I am not willing to invest in a Celine or nothing similar... so I was so happy to stumble upon the Clare Vivier Clutches!! They look chic and trendy and the color palette is just fabulous. Love all the size, flat {picture#3} fold over {pic#1} and oversized {3rd pic on pic #2}. I am definitely getting a navy blue fold over...and the green and camel in flat would be a great addition..!!

Don't you just love when you stumble upon that one thing you where looking for?
