from the desk of ashlina. . .

I have been working my tail off. Trying to get in all of my e-design clients before the end of the month has been draining the life out of me. On the bright side, I have found so many new things in the marketplace. I'm getting inspired to do even more. 

I'm vibing on this all white, beige and gold room in the works. Not finished yet but the whole look just makes me want to redo my entire bedroom. Maybe I need a small touch of black to make it feel more "me". Black always adds a touch of sophistication, no?

Or, why not try adding in a pop of color with these gorgeous Malachite prints from Wisteria? (get them on super sale this weekend) Thanks to my girl Yelda for looking out. 

A few things I've found and loved. . .

Just when I thought I was over mint, I fell absolutely in love with this closet door DIY hack. So minty fresh glam.

Really wanting to try this 1970 candle, musk + patchouli, so boheme. 

Speaking of candles, Diptyque has a line of face care, who knew? I think I am going to test out this travel set.

Also, because's its Memorial Day weekend, the sales are ON!

Furbish Studio is 15% off the site! Woop! I've got my eyes on a few things...guess I am into green. 

Serena & Lily is also having a sale (code: ALLOUT). I want this gingham sheet set. Totally guest bedroom appropriate. 

Lulu & Georgia has a site wide 25% off sale! (Use code TAKE25) and I REALLY want to get the new Tinsley Mortimer entertaining collection. It's totally cute.

10 things that rocked my world. 5.17.15

1. One of my favorite pieces in my home is my DIY gold and black python mirror. I used the most gorgeous wrapping paper and it made the mirror so incredibly chic. 

2. Speaking of the whole DIY thing, I've been crushing on these marble paper covered frames. Kind of wanting to try this...

3. I've also been coveting LC's closet too. How gorgeous is this? The glass doors, wood floors, zebra rug and black and white luggage. . .In. love!

4. My zebra rug went missing with the rest of my stolen things and I am really missing my zebra rug. Trying to not let this pretty living room make me get another one. Something I want the gold one too. What do you think I should do? (home of @luxereportdesign)

5. I am obsessed with this lamp. Can anybody help me find it. 

6. You've seen my black and gold one, and now I am obsessed with my black and white Chanel, tea, coffee mug. I absolutely love it. The bigger the mug, the bigger my coffee intake which means I am more focused on work. Always a good thing for an entrepreneuress right?

7. I also spend WAY too much time at the local Starbucks working on things and the one in my hood got a GORGEOUS makeover. When did black tufted leather and beautiful browns grace brick walls inside a Starbucks? Love! 

8. That stylish Starbucks is everything.  It's where I spend most of my time writing my program curriculums and scheming up my e-design plans. It's even where I dedicate my time building my personal brand. I teach a ton of tips, tricks and strategies in my newest E-book The Passionista Playbook. 

9. When I am not working at my favorite coffee shops, I'm at my beautiful desk. Preferably with flowers. 

10. Just saying.
