Weekend decorating idea {orchid shell arrangement}

There is nothing like a really stylish bouquet of fresh flowers at home that makes me smile more. Except for maybe this cute idea for an orchid arrangement. I have an oversized clam shell that has just been calling out to me. She's currently stuck on top of my kitchen cabinets hiding her beauty away. This weekend, I think I am going to bring her out and cleverly style it with my favorite orchids from the cute little flower market on my block. I personally love all white orchids but these purple ones are just as stunning. Why not try this idea this weekend, it really would make the perfect centerpiece for that Saturday night dinner. Don't you think?

Halloween chic...the perfect holiday tabletop

As much as I adore holidays, especially Halloween, I am not really the biggest fan of the spooky decor. I love the chance to get my noir on, all things gothic are chic, etc. However, this year, I'm just not feeling that vibe. Then I saw this tabletop decor and said, YES!

Now, lets break down the elements...Notice the gold + black rimmed dishes, they are perfection. Gold rimmed stemware looks so chic here too. I also love the mixing of metallics, cream & white tapered candles, white and gold pumpkins. This is how I would do Halloween chic.
