brand new days

 

A blanket of snow still covers us
in the heartland, and I for one
am not wishing it away
tooooo soon since
I have come to
enjoy it in
healthy
new
ways
(hello, snowboarding!)
as I savor so many beautiful
brand new days.

Brand new days mean
brand new
OPPORTUNITIES.
 

 

 

BRAND NEW PLACES
TO EXPLORE.
 

 

BRAND NEW BAGS?
Oh, heck ya.

 

BRAND NEW WAYS
TO EXPRESS
INDIVIDUALITY...

Let's make the

Happy New Year.

10 inspiring details {holiday decor}

 

 

 

Happy December, friends!

 

If your to-do list for this month looks

anything like mine...oh mama, let's

settle back with a glass of wine

and get inspired by some

fabulous holiday decor details.

 

 

 

I mean, sure the 3 bazillion lights

that cost you 12 hours,

an extension ladder,

and a visit to the ER

to illuminate your home out front

are awesome...

 

 

but so are little flickers of light

and love that help everyone

feel the magic of the season.

 

Inspiration No. 1

Float apples holding votives in an interesting urn or container.

 

 

Ever feel tired of the same ol' red and green?

 

Inspiration No. 2

Decorate with your favorite colors.

Here bits of turquoise and coral feel fresh and festive.

 

 

Want drama and a little bit of unexpected?

 

Inspiration No. 3

Varying sizes of crepey balls (not just for baby showers!)

combined with other textured spheres actually come off

looking both cool and elegant.

 

 Lack room for a Christmas tree?

 

Inspiration No. 4

Alternative holiday trees are so fun to create!

Whitewash some branches and tuck them

into a silver vase before embellishing.

 

 

 

 

 

Feeling too overwhelmed to decorate a tree?

 

Inspiration No. 5

So don't decorate it.

There is a beauty a fresh-scented evergreen

brought inside exudes all on its own.

 

 

Like graphic statements?

How cool is this one?

 

Inspiration No. 6

Use a mix of letters and objects resembling letters

on a tabletop, mantel, or shelf.

 

 

Have some leftover wood lying around?

 

Inspiration No. 7

If you can make some saw cuts (or are friendly

with someone who can), this project takes only

a few nails and some imagination.

 

 

 

Candlelight never lets you down.

 

Inspiration No. 8

There is nothing quite like a simple smattering

of votives around the house, up the stairs, and

on a dresser.

 

Thinking small scores big.

 

Inspiration No. 9

Your tree doesn't have to tower to be magical.

In this case, the container matches the beauty

of its contents.

 

 

Don't overlook glass containers.

 

Inspiration No. 10

They make everything look special.

Even sand and branches!

Tuck little white lights, red apples, or lollipops inside.

 

 

Here's to an inspiring month of happy,

and I hope to see you in the shop soon!

 

Peace.

 

suburban chic {little black jacket}

 

 

 Unless you are living under a rock,
it is hard to miss all the fabulous
street chic fashion photography
around the web, and whether you
live in the city, the burbs like me,
or in the country, there are certain
wardrobe staples we simply
cannot live without.

Exhibit A: The little black jacket.

 

Works like money when you're a big time
fashion mogul on the red carpet, suuuurrrrrrrre.
But how cool that it works for the rest of us shopping for carpet!
 

It aint all about the neutrals, by the way.
Pair it with flirty colors and listen for whistles.
 

 

But, ooh la la, it works like
a groovy charm over a fabulous
white blouse.

The little black jacket works when you
are channeling your inner prepster...

 

 

or gettin' your Parisian chic ON.

The power of ONE GIRL and ONE JACKET
blows the mind.
 

Can we even imagine this ensemble above
without the killer cropped-sleeve LBJ?
Heavens to Rachel, noooooo!
Get in my belly, Chanel bag.
 

Push up your sleeves and watch your
Xfactor instantly soar...random, but is
anyone else suddenly missing their summer tan????

 

 

When your LBJ is tailored, quilted,
and puff-fabulous, you are poised
to save the world.
Whatev.
Or head to Starbucks.
I have problems.
 

 

Omg.
Are you loving this totally
80's fabulous studded glory?
Note to self:
Try pairing semi-neon pink lips
with black moto.
Totes!

 

 

An oversized bag looks tres natural
with a classic LBJ, doesn't it?
(Not to mention, it has balancing
voodoo that makes the
booty appear smaller.)
 

 

 Anyone now convinced
the little black jacket
can do no wrong???

Ready to pair yours
with a few new outfits
and accessories?

Yep. In my LBJ today.

I can sooooo help, mama.

Swing by the shop soon for
your one-stop, One Girl fix!

Peace.
