{Trimming For Crafty Peeps}

While planning for my Valentine giveaway - I came across Etsy seller Petits Details, and can only hope she returns from her hiatus in time for me to place an order. Do you have a weakness for crafting supplies, spools of luxe ribbons, printed linen, etc. like I do? Then hop on over and bask in the crafty goodness. Ahh...

{The Midas Touch}

There is a decorating rule that has survived throughout history - if you want to impress and make an impact - add that Midas Touch to your decor! I used to think that gold was gaudy and old fashioned and always leaned toward silver - but recently I've started to flash little gold accents here and there throughout my decor {click here to see my fabulous little gold pig in my console table makeover post} to add a little glam. If you too love gold done in a chic way - well check these pics out {the bowls - I smell a DIY coming on}:

...and hello gold pillow~you should be mine!

{Lonny Magazine: January/February 2011 Issue}

Yay!!! The Lonny Magazine January/February 2011 new issue is out! Per the usual, Lonny is chugged full of inspirational ideas but the one thing that stuck out to me in this issue is the perfectly styled tables. I don't know why, but this is something that I continue to struggle with - how to add that cluster of books, that vase of flowers, that little box or trinket...all without it looking overly cluttered. You know what I'm talking about? So thank you Lonny Mag for giving me some ideas of how to style my tables- here's a glimpse at some of the loveliness...

{TOMS: One For One}

I've been wanting a pair of TOMS shoes ever since I got back from LA in the fall. Literally everyone was wearing them, and while I was still trying to warm up to them, I became a fan by seeing all the different ways people were wearing them. Over the weekend, I tried to figure out which pair I wanted to buy....but then I found a pair on ebay that I'm hoping to win {see below}. 

And you guys know about Blake's mission right {no his name is not TOM} - with every pair of shoes you purchase, TOMS will give a new pair of shoes to a child in need. How could you not want to support this lovely cause?

Still not sure if you love them? Well here's a little street fashion to help you out....you can wear with leggings, jeans, dresses, skirts....literally everything. They're a little hippy - a little chic - and oh so very comfortable.

Be sure to check TOMS site often - they update their designs all the time ~ I'm looking forward to whats to come for Spring...
