It had been too long since I hosted a girls only crafting party, so I felt the need to remedy that. This past weekend, I invited some girls over to make our own headbands! We had a blast working from this template, and added some much needed wine and gossip to the mix. Best part? I was able to add some fun details with items I had laying around the house!
My favorite party dino that I painted years back. And an amazing graphic I had the hubs make.
I absolutely love the tile in this London property. It almost seems a little Mondrian in style, no? I think it really makes a great modern impression and looks fantastic against the retro tube. Love the juxtaposition! I just wish I could figure out how they did it. Different color tiles? Painted certain tiles? A woman has got to know!
It’s that time of year: HALLOWEEN!
My absolute favorite holiday is just around the corner, so Casa Melificent is already slowly making its metamorphosis into Spook Central. Nothing makes me happier than to pull out that box full of goodies and start putting them around the house. We are nowhere near done, and I definitely want to tackle some of those awesome Halloween DIY’s floating around Pinterest, but for now, it’s a good start.
Do you love Halloween? What Halloween projects are you most looking forward to work on?
A lot of people are scared of combining colors, but really there is no reason for it. I always get people telling me, “only you could pull something like that off,” but it’s absolutely not true! Anyone can pull off mixing and matching of colors (and patterns), you just have to do so with a discerning eye. It’s not about throwing every item in your closet on yourself at the same time (although that seemed to be a hit in the 80’s), but rather about putting together complimentary colors the right way. Case in point: two neons do not make a right. Although I am pairing two bright colors together with my tee and skirt, notice that the tee is taking center stage, being the brightest and most neon (even though it’s hard to see in some of the photos). My skirt is also vibrant, sure, but it is way more muted.

I can’t get over this ADORABLE wall decal. I know the hubs will absolutely kill me if I buy it for our home, but I’m severely tempted. Like, I may have the checkout screen staring back at me as we speak. Like, I may have hit the submit button. Oh well, he’ll get over it, right?
