The things I love about Spring. . .

Not only do I love the warmer weather that Spring brings, I love almost everything about it. The sunshine, the poolside lounging afternoons, the bottles of rose, the pretty flowers. I especially love the newness that comes with a fresh Spring Cleaning. Clearing out your life and your home in an effort to invite new, fresh and fabulous! 

Good Feng Shui and the clearing out  of your home is essential to a blissful lifestyle. Don't ask me, just ask your pillows. 

“Arranging a home to hold happiness in place is the primary goal of Feng Shui.” - Terah Kathryn Collins, loving all of her books.

It's exactly that I teach in Decor Therapy and so much more. 

I am always in love with New York City in the Spring. The long afternoons spent outside on the patios with good conversation over a bottle of wine or cups of tea and a fabulous meal. I mean, who doesn't love to eat in New York City?

I often talk about this with my friends who live elsewhere, NYC has hands down the best food. If you have been wanting to visit NYC but something is holding you back, you should definitely take the leap, make the trip. It's so worth it. 

You can even join this and meet new friends for a fabulous dinner party.

Tom Dixon, one of my favorite designers, made an exciting announcement in NYC this Spring, Mr. Dixon is doing a collaboration with IKEA. This is sure to be gooooood. 

There is always magic in the air. 

I am always in love with anything to do with pink flowers, especially blush pink roses, they are my absolute favorite. It turns out blush pink has been the hottest color for years, perhaps this is why.

After I read it, I realized the why behind my choosing the blush pink Clarisonic and now am madly obsessed.

Lately, I am obsessed with skin health and was so surprised to learn the benefits of drinking bone broth. 

Did you know you can eat to balance hormones, brighten skin, and boost mood? Here's how. 

Living a beautiful life at home, is what I am all about. Mind. Body. Soul. So, I am always trying to give you access to the things I love, I read and I feel inspired by. 

Only 8 percent of U.S. adults used social media in 2005, but that number ballooned to 78 percent in 2016. Learn why and how to do a brilliant detox from everything. 

We all know how much I love crystals and long bubble baths. Crystal detox baths are so necessary for Spring. 

Spring always makes me crave more citrus and floral scents, and this  candle is life. I love to light it up and at the same time burn a little palo santo to balance out the mix.

Get the look: Sophisticated & Pretty

I was reading a book the other about building your sense of style. How much what you wear impacts your life experience. Are you thoroughly expressing who you are by the way you dress? Or are you expressing the creativity of somebody else? For some reason this really hit home for me. 

How many 'home tours' do we see that look exactly the same? 

I mean, no offense to the sites out there that capture fashion bloggers homes on the regular, but there are quite a few that look almost exactly alike. Same art on the wall, same rug, same pillows, bedding, etc. I always want to encourage creating your home style to be so unique, you can't even "get the look" somewhere. I don't create my get the look series with where you can buy exactly this or that item but where you can get inspired and buy something similar. 

Do you feel me?

I came across this living room by Wendy Labrum, photos enhanced and made so soft and beautiful by the lovely Rosaline. What I love about this space is that has it some classic + trendy pieces but paired with things that are unique and one of a kind. Let's break down the look: 

First of all the color palette just soothes my soul. White walls, black trim and touches, pops of creams and lilacs with a hint of animal print. Can't get enough of this fabulous mix. 

Let's just begin with the most stand out piece in the room. This black 3 arm light chandelier is just contagious. I can't hide my love for the contemporary light piece mixed with traditional beauties. I am also pretty sold on the chic look of this coffee table. The seating in these rooms have such great lines, very sophisticated and chic. A pair of leopard chairs is a winner for sure! I love the pop of lilac too, try a tufted lilac sofa like this beauty for the same appeal. Lucite and brass work so well together in this Modshop piece. I love it. Black and white stripes are truly the staple here that makes the room pop. I understand if thats too stark, so try adding a little bench like this adorable zebra one. To enhance the space, get yourself some affordable black and white abstract art prints and place them in gold frames. Gold mirrors make the space sing, get one with a French twist. Place small table lamps with black shades to add some zest. I love these buffet lamps. Candles always make a great accent. Love this leopard and black one.
