Be Mine.

Its almost Valentine's day people! I admit its not what it used to be...

I definitely don't get as many cards in my mailbox as I used to. Sad.

 

Regardless, now that I am older, I have the means to plan a totally beautiful Valentine's Dinner Party!

Check out my inspiration below!Enjoy!!

 

 

Polka Dots.

Polka dots, have become a slight obsession of mine in the last little while. From shirts to pants and dresses, I can't seem to get enough. I remember when I was a little girl, and my grandma  would wear polka dots all the time (she still rocks them), and I used to think, how fancy they were. So, I thought I would do a post on polka dot decor. Random, I know! You don't see it often but when you do, it can be quite eye-catching. Its a theme that I think many would be hesistant to try, because it is so bold, but with the variety of patterns, I think everyone can find their own polka dot.

Remember...Polka dots come in other colours :)

La Citron.

I'm not too sure if this post is coming to early. I usually find that the citrus decor tones, come out closer to the summer months, but whatever, it's to refreshing to ignore right now. 

When I was younger, I never wore yellow or orange. It was the first colour I would pick up at the store, but my mom would always make me put it back, saying those tones made me look pale. Heart-wrenching I know. As I got older I just stopped listening and I will purchase orange and yellow clothing as I please.

The same idea goes for decor. When I first started into events, I would use decor as long as it matched with my surroundings. Champagne, neutrals, black, white, and soft hues seemed to be the easiest to work with the carpet and flowers and the grotesque chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.  As I got more comfortable, it was easy to envision your look and ignore the surroundings. This sounds wrong right? If you play your colours right it will usually fall into place, and the walls and carpets will compliment your decor rather than the other lame way around.

I have yet to do a bright yellow theme, but have done pretty much every other colour. If you start small; say yellow trimmings at an outdoor barbecue or green at a baby shower, you'll get more accustomed to it.

PS. The colour schemes, like yellow and orange and pink, really brighten up your crowd too. I guarantee no boring people at your colourful shin-digs.

Intro Christmas.

48 Days until Christmas!! I know that's a ways away, but I really love the Christmas Holidays, so I tend to start a little early. I have been listening to the all year long Christmas Online Radio Station, which really just makes the day that much more cheery. I came across this cute Christmas decor, and thought I'd share. Hopefully it will spruce up your day.
