Tear Book: Part Five

Fashion collage!!
All about the sequins. A sequin shirt is a great and easy way to dress up a pair of denim shorts, just add a simple pair of sandals or solid ballet flats. No accessories needed unless you have a cute barrette or flower/bow for your hair. On the other hand, glitter makes a wonderful statement accessory whether it be on your nails or on your shoes.

This same principle applies to decorating. You wouldn't want to have a sequined couch with gold flashy pillows and shimmery curtains with bold colored walls. Whoa buddy, chill out. Instead try glittery pillows with pale pinks and creams and grays. Dark neutrals would work too if you wanted to go for a more dark and sultry and sexy room. Also, don't be afraid to pair sequins with pattern...just make sure you don't go overboard if there is already a significant amount of sheen, glitter, or shimmer. If you haven't heard of quartz paint you should look into it. Glittery paint. Accent wall?

Tear Book: Part Four

I love incorporating old things into a new interior...I guess you could say I am kind of sentimental that way. I like when things have been used and broken in.
And I love old houses no matter the amount of problems that come with them!

BEACH!!

In honor of spring break.
I am going to Destin for the first time ever!!
So this is a post full of awesome beach inspired interiors from various places that I either love or would use, say I lived on the beach.



I love Galveston, but it is so comforting when you can actually see your feet! I cannot hardly wait!


Normally I wouldn't like a modern beach house, but can you imagine having all these windows and porches??

This is a lake, not a beach, but who cares.



 
BAM!!

Tear Book: Part Three

These are tears from Ellen Pompeo's home in Elle Decor. Love the Spanish influence.

If you are unaware of FLAIR pens, you need to familiarize yourself. I am not saying that because I use them that you must therefore use them as well. I mean granted if I was Jenna Lyons, or Kelly Wearstler, or Zooey Deschanel telling you to use FLAIR pens, then you probably would, but no worries...you can chill in whatever rut you have yourself stuck in.
