<br />
Things I love: being creative with what I have and not having to buy things I don't need. So of course, using fresh pine for the winter / holidays is THE BEST way to decorate. Not only is it simple, but it's free (wink wink)...just go outside and do a lil snippy snippy and you're well on your way.<br />
<br />
I chose to make potted arrangements but you can also make bundles to hang. Using various greenery is also a plus. I was able to find several different types, including Boxwood, Pine, Arborvitae and Spruce. All the different textures and slight color variants create interest and makes your arrangement more unique.<br />
<br />
Now about some added color...Pom poms! You already know I was going there. These babies have been my easy-peasy go-to for pops of color for yeeeeears. They never fail me. They're quick to make, inexpensive and won't shatter like ornaments. There are many ways to make these guys...I have the plastic craft store pom pom makers in many sizes and they serve me well.<br />
<br />
You might be wondering what to put everything in. I like to reuse my summer flower pots. I have them in red and chartreuse which is perfect for Christmas decor as well. If you don't have any flowers pots available, you can grab a plain terra-cotta pot for a few bucks and spray paint it. A vase you have sitting around is a great option too. Hint: mini versions would make great holiday party/ Christmas dinner table toppers.<br />
<br />
For assembly, I arranged the greenery in layers and packed it in full so nothing would fall out. The longer stems are in the back and shorter in the front. I kept each kind of greens together so they formed their own layer. Other elements you can add in are pinecones (you can glitter these, you can spray paint these - go nuts) or some of your tree decor. I used some sparkly snowflakes and sparkly accent stems.<br />
<br />
Christmas is quickly approaching but this is so quick and easy you can still make it happen. It looks beautiful as indoor decor or outdoors on a porch. What a lovely holiday gift it would make as well!<br />
Enjoy & Happy Holidays, everyone!<br />

Hey guys, it's been a minute...but finally a new outfit post! It's been busy with the business (check out all the Glam & Grace goods <a href="http://www.glamandgraceshop.com/">here</a>) and moving back to my house in Akron.<br />
As you can tell, I'm still all about that black and white game. Just know I'm always either covered in coffee stains on the white or lint on the black. There's no getting around it, it's who I am as a person.<br />
These bellbottom pants from Zara are so unique with their hi-low hem. I mean, yeah...sometimes they're hard to walk in and I trip but that's just the price you pay for awesome pants. I'm looking forward to pairing them with chunky sweaters for fall. Also, can we talk about these Jeffrey Campbells? Silver details, straps & lucite heels...whoa. I'm bummed that it's getting colder now and I wont be able to wear them soon. More outfit details below and hopefully more looks coming soon.<br />

Trying to transition into spring over here! Let me tell you, it's been a crazy couple of months since launching the Glam & Grace makeup line. Never have I more desired (& maintained) a wardrobe full of simple pieces I can throw on. The idea of a minimal color palette & not a lot of "necessary" layering has made finding something to wear thoughtless and quick. I am so annoyed when I have to wear a certain tank under a certain top...so I rid myself of all those type of styles. Now, my look is already defined when I purchase the items in my wardrobe so it makes getting dressed every day easy. Of course, you know I like to have my statement accessories to mix it up. <div>Versatile, mix & match is necessary for the busy girl boss who's getting 'ish done<br>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 12px;">So. Many. Things. This outfit is super jam packed with details, trends, texture...all of em. But it works. A balanced crazy. The simple Black & White color palette acts as a mediator or sorts. It's like "marled</span></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 12px;"> knit crop top AND a striped fluffy scarf? Surrrrre, go ahead". The silver studded details of the skirt unify the western vibe of the hat & jewelry. By the way I love the look of the skirt, cute and fits well... but can a girl get some stronger snaps? With my high level of wardrobe malfunctions, a snap up skirt with wimp snaps won't cut it. (if you can successfully wear this skirt, please, give me tips) </span></span><br />

Ooooh you're gonna want to try this ooey gooey fruity recipe! Here's another one I learned from the incredible cooking class at <a href="http://www.gervasivineyard.com/GV-Online-Store/Cucina-Culinary-Classes" target="_blank">Gervasi Vineyard</a>. (<a href="http://www.gervasivineyard.com/GV-Online-Store/Cucina-Culinary-Classes" target="_blank">check their current list of classes</a>) This class was no joke. I learned so many incredible recipes, including <a href="http://www.glamandgrace.com/2015/02/yums-noms-salmon-en-papilotte.html" target="_blank">Salmon En Papillate</a> which I shared previously. These are both must makes on the regular!<br />

Rusts, browns, mauves...all the muted tones. But of course, I wanna talk accessories...<br />
It's all in the details. I believe that accessories make the outfit. They take you from plain Jane to polished. Ok, maybe not polished...they won't iron your wrinkled clothes or remove cat fur for you...but they add a level of uniqueness, style and completeness to your look.<br />
<br />
The quality of the accessories are also something to consider and a big factor. It's the most important part of your look. You can be wearing a t-shirt or even a trash bag for that matter, paired with a great necklace and killer shoes? Boom! You're good to go & can pull anything off. And guys, I'm not saying to go off and buy expensive designer brands, that's definitely not the case. Go for quality designed items that will last.<br />
<br />
PS: And i know you're asking, "hey what's up with the flowers growing out of your body?"<br />
Well, I'm a little salty I haven't gotten to wear a floral crown this week so I'm trying to do my best to get by....which means adding floral illustrations to anything that I can. Hopefully another fresh flower DIY will be in the works ; )<br />

<h3>
Etsy Real Talk:</h3>
<b><i>Oh Etsy, the frustration.</i></b> It might make you cringe even thinking about shopping on the site. While it once was a powerhouse for indie designers, it's now filled with anything from mass produced crap from China to your every single friend who puts a bead on a string. Heck, I think my cat is even on there selling his fur balls.</div>
<div>
Let me tell you it was a frustrating experience rummaging the site for designers, but once I found them, the struggle was all worth it. I've been hunting for original designs and creatives who kick ass at what they do. I know they're out there and I want to support them and be inspired by their awesome. (Keep in mind, this is only what I could find.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Etsy Search Tips:</h3>
<h4>
Know the buzz words for what you're looking for.</h4>
<div>
To find anything worthwhile on Etsy, you need to be specific. I used trending grouped keywords in my search, (more the better), tassel statement jewelry, geometric statement pendant, quartz crystal pendant, crushed pyrite pendant, rope fringe necklace, copper rope necklace. Being too general will land you in the desert with no water in sight.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Favorite all the shops and items you're interested in</h4>
<div>
This is somewhat of a handy little tool. Base on items and shops you favorite, Etsy will suggest similar shops/items for you to check out. Its another helpful way to shift through the frustrating mess.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, those are all the tips I have. The site has become so saturated that it's a struggle to find what you want. Good luck and I'd love to hear about your favorite makers and designs!</div>

Merry Christmas, guys! Weather wise, this has been the most amazing winter so far. No complaints from me! I love being able to wear dresses comfortably without freezing my butt off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also, hey flower crown! Gah! It was my first time making one and I went all out with this statement piece. Designing with flowers is such a fun challenge....not to mention, GORGEOUS! Remember, pick a variety of colors, textures and sizes to combine together. I have some directions and tips below!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
DIY Statement Floral Crown </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>floral wire</li>
<li>floral tape and of course</li>
<li>freshly picked flowers.</li>
</ul>
<div>
First, cut a piece of wire to fit you head. It's up to your own preference to how you'd like it to lay and fit you. Overlapping the wire ends, use the floral tape to wrap and secure the ends together. Make sure to pull and wrap the tape tight. Floral tape isn't as sticky as regular tape so it was a little hard to get used to.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now that you have your crown base, lay it flat on the table so you can start arranging flowers around it to get an idea of how you'd like it to look. Trim the stems to be around 2 inches long. You'll be taping these to the wire.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used cuts of evergreen branches as the main greenery element and wrapped those to the wire first as my base. I spaced small cuts equally around (except for the front). Wrap each stem base with the tape until it's secure to the wire with little movement.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I left the front bare (no evergreen) so I could easily add in my focal point. I grouped my largest flowers (3 giant mums) in the center and arranged carnations around them as accents with little snippets of evergreen. Try on your piece every once in a while while you're making it to see how it lays and to see how it holds up. Make any adjustments necessary and ENJOY!</div>

Back to black...& brown. It's always been favorite color combo of mine, maybe it's just because the majority of people are afraid to wear them together. To me, it's a sophisticated vibe and it speaks confidence....do your own thing and don't follow the crowd. I love how brown can tone down an upscale, dressier look. This long and flowing black maxi dress from <a href="http://www.pylousa.com/" target="_blank">PYLO</a> oozes glamor and would typically worn for a night out. IF you pair brown with it, you automatically get a toned down casual look. I love being able to work items into different styles and make them versatile.

Why it's taken me 32 years of my life to finally make my own queso, is so beyond me. Seriously, what have I been doing this whole time? Well, finally...i did it and it's super easy to make. I have the delish recipe below so you can have a hot bowl of cheesy goodness in no time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
WHITE QUESO DIP</h3>
<h4>
Ingredients:</h4>
<div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>1 Tbsp Butter/Margarine</li>
<li>1/4 cup Red Onion, diced</li>
<li>1/4 cup Green Pepper diced</li>
<li>12 oz White American Cheese (got slices from deli)</li>
<li>4 oz Pepper Jack cheese shredded</li>
<li>1/4-2/3 cup milk (I used 2%)</li>
<li>1 Tomato - diced</li>
<li>Fresh parsley, chopped (you may want to use cilantro instead)</li>
<li>Pinch of Cayenne Pepper</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Heat the oil in a sauce pan. Cook the onion and pepper (med/high heat) until softened and reduce heat to medium-low.</li>
<li>Add the shredded cheese and 1/4 cup of the milk. Stir, stir, stir until melted together </li>
<li>Add the tomatoes, parsley & cayenne to your liking</li>
<li>Add more milk if you'd like a thinner consistency.</li>
<li>Pour into a heat safe bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips!</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">The only pair of blue jeans I own, PYLO Gypsy Minor Bellbottoms in Creedence...oh how I love. These jeans are a dream! They feature a high waist, long inseam and mega bells. The trend is done right when the bell covers your footwear...done any other way and you'll look like your former self from the 2000's. We don't wanna go there.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: start;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: start;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">Another huge trend for fall are maxi cardigans. This one has stylish bell sleeves and comes in a beautiful Marsala color (#heyPantonehey). Even though I've shut it in about 5 doors today, it's still my current fav. It's lovely to layer and creates a long sleek line with the body.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: start;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: start;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; text-align: start;">Necklace & Earrings: <a href="http://www.glamandgraceshop.com/" target="_blank">Glam & Grace</a> (in the shop!) /// Oversized Tee: Nordstrom Rack /// Cardidan: <a href="http://www.missguidedus.com/" target="_blank">Missguided </a> /// High Waist Bellbottoms: <a href="http://www.pylo.com/" target="_blank">PYLO</a></span></div>

Simplicity & Neutrals are still a go over here. My casual "minimalist" pieces are easy to pair with each other and then pile on the bold accessories. This ASOS Chambray Maxi Dress is more like a lightweight jacket/cover up for now. It's prefect for the transitioning weather where I can just toss it over a summer dress. Once Fall really hits, I can button it up, wear it as a dress and even pair it with a cardigan. Versatile pieces like this make themselves at home in my closet. <br />
This necklace tho...I'm in love with Madewell jewelry. It's great inspiration for my own line. I love the simple shapes with the industrial feel. Mixing the brass and silver also gives the piece character and you're able to mix and match it with other accessories of either tone.<br />

<h3>
CROPS, BELLS & LACE UPS</h3>
<div>
These styles are my favorite for fall. It's all about a modernized 70s vibe. If it has a bell or if it laces up, rock it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The beautiful denim bellbottoms are from <a href="http://www.pylo.com/">PYLO</a>. I have the Gypsy Minor Bellbottoms in Creedence (for the shorties). They fit like a dream. The high waist and the oversized bell is the way to go!<br />
<br />
Lace-up flats are an item I've been eyeing. I'm not a big fan of flats but the criss-cross action has me interested. They'd pair great with cropped pants or a cute mini.<br />
<br />
Another look I love are the giant bell sleeves...even better if the top laces up. Too many trends in one item? ....pssssh never ; )<br />

This recipe has been a family favorite for decades. I've ate this for breakfast and snacks since<br />
I was a kid...don't forget the apple juice, of course. Trust me, you won't want to limit devouring<br />
this just to fall time, it's good to make year round. I'm busting this out now to try and prepare myself<br />
for the season change and attempting to bribe myself into even liking fall. We'll see how it works out.<br />
Enjoy!<br />
<h3>
<b>RECIPE: Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Drizzle Frosting</b></h3>
<h4>
<b>Pumpkin Muffins</b></h4>
<b>3 Cups</b> sugar <b> </b><br />
<b>1 1/2 teaspoon</b> salt <br />
<b>1 teaspoon</b> nutmeg <br />
<b>1 teaspoon </b>cloves <br />
<b>1 teaspoon </b>cinnamon <br />
<b>2 teaspoons</b> baking soda<br />
<b>2/3 cup</b> hot water<br />
<b>4 </b>eggs<br />
<b>1 cup</b> vegetable oil<br />
<b>3 1/3 cups </b>flour<br />
<b>2 cups</b> pumpkin<br />
<br />
First, blend sugar, spices and eggs. Next add in pumpkin and oil. In separate bowl, mix flour and baking soda. Gradually blend flour mixture into pumpkin mixture, alternating with water. Mix well.<br />
Pour batter into muffin liners/pan<br />
Bake at 350 degrees for 18-24 minutes till toothpick comes out clean<br />
<br />
<h4>
Cream Cheese Frosting</h4>
<div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<b>4 oz</b> cream cheese</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<b>4 tablespoons </b>butter</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<b>1/2 box</b> powdered sugar</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<b>1 tsp</b> vanilla bean paste</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<b>1 tablespoon </b>almond milk</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
Cream sugar and cream cheese together. Add in vanilla and gradually add in powdered sugar. </div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
The almond milk is to make the frosting a less dense constancy, add to your liking. Mix ingredients well and drizzle onto muffins when they are cool. </div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">
<i>Just to note, I eyeball this recipe. I usually do equal parts of butter & cream cheese. Then I add powdered sugar till it gets to the consistency I want. </i></div>

<a href="http://www.pylo.com/">PYLO </a>you rock my world. The Namiko T-Dress is a dream. Oversized and flowy, perfect to wear while Summer is winding down. Im wearing it in the color called "Naked", a light fleshy neutral with a touch of pink. It works well with the trending minimalist style. For my skin tone, I pair this color with darker accessories (hat, shoes, ect) to add depth and contrast so I won't won't look washed out (wink wink). I've been into simple minimalistic dresses this summer, ones you can throw on and go. Just add some killer accessories.<br />

<h3>
Rustic Boho Layer Cake with Fresh Flowers</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you know me personally, you're well aware I'm like an little old lady who loves tending to her summer flowers. Unfortunately living in my loft, I'm unable to have flower beds anymore but I'm still finding ways to incorporate pretty greenery and lovely live flowers into my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was my first experience designing a cake with real, fresh flowers. It was great & it was nerve-racking...but I highly recommend doing it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The layer cake is white cake with vanilla buttercream. I frosted only in-between layers and the top of the cake. Keeping the sides unfrosted provides the rustic boho look. It gives off an unperfect vibe, which I love. Decorating with buttercream (instead of fondant) and embracing it's messier quality, is my absolute favorite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<h4>
Pick a variety of flowers</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose some vibrant peachy orange/pink roses as a main focal. As supporting cast, I wanted greenery. I used killer lime green mums and leafy eucalyptus stems. All 3 plants have a very different look which gives variety to your creation. The varying visual texture makes it more interesting to look at.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<h4>
Layer and Pile it On!</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don't be shy here. Why not heap on the flowers? Go for it and make a statement. I started with a blanket of rose petals and then placed a group of flowers on top as discussed below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<h4>
Create a Focal Point</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I grouped a large rose, some sprigs of eucalyptus and a few mums on the top of the cake. This arrangement grabs your attention and creates visual interest. In one spot lower on the plate, I also gathered a few blooms to make it look like a cascading effect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dealing with the natural & fresh aspect was challenging. The eucalyptus and mums are quite resilient while the Roses are quite delicate and will wilt a little more quickly. I had a couple of back up roses for a quick replacement after I arrived to my destination. It's good to keep all the flowers in water and then place them on the cake at the absolute last minute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all, it was a fun experience. I just had to go with the flow and learn as I went along. The flowers were gorgeous and made for a lovely presentation. I can't wait to give it another try and experiment with different flowers.</div>

The button front a-line mini skirt is the current "it" skirt. I've been seeing it in a variety of fabrics including denim, suede and corduroy. With it's high waist, it's good to pair with a crop top or tuck in a blouse with long bell sleeves. Rock that 70's vibe. </div>

All denim everythang, all the time.<br>
Ok, so a denim outfit isn't anything new. (I know we all remember Brittany and Justin.) ...but somewhere, somehow, someway wearing the blues (all blue) has become the norm...the new neutral...the new everyday look. I'm down with that. Supposedly jeans are on their way out but that doesn't stop us from wearing chambray button ups and denim skirts...like, everyday. <br>
Ok ok, so maybe not evvvvvvery day but the simplicity sure is attractive and I think that's why I'm drawn to it.<br>
I like to have different washes as well as varying styles so I can easily mix up my look. When paired together, the light and dark washes contrast each other and look great together. Check out the outfit details below.<br>

It is what it is. That's a common little phrase we like to toss around. It's a handy line used to help us cope with unpleasantries, helps us deal with the unexpected in life.<br>
<br>
It gets scary when we use it to justify things we shouldn't be accepting so easily...like settling into a safe ho-hum lifestyle or doing mediocre work. We often use it as an excuse to give up and not try harder. You know how it goes...just accept whatever it is and move on.<br>
<br>
Yikes! Sound the alarm! That line just got worn out.<br>
<br>
The good thing is, in life, we have options. We can choose how we react, how we respond...how we problem solve situations. Yes, every single one of us. We can choose so much more than settling for the mundane or whatever gets thrown our way. Let's create our way instead.<br>
<br>Personally, being a designer, we are creative visual problem solvers. I'm trained and encouraged to think through diverse perspectives and situations. It's not only my job but an excellent philosophy to live by. It's a lifestyle. There's always more than one solution to every problem. Sometimes you have to wrestle with ideas, put in the work and enjoy the process.<br>
<br>
Just remember everyone won't always be on board with you. Anytime you create or show people a different way of doing things, you'll get resistance...and usually that means you're doing something right. Don't let others sway your thinking. Go head first making the most of situations.<br>
<br>I've learned that MOST of the time, it just isn't what it is...it is what you make it.Glam and Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17889920602724508725noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726100306945114799.post-56095291226808581342015-07-05T21:33:00.001-04:002015-07-05T21:33:21.904-04:00MY CLOSET: Simple Summer Basics<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Perfect white t-dress for Summer: Found! This high-low style maxi is so simple, comfy and comes at a killer price. It's a basic that has the wardrobe staple alert ringing loud. Throw this on with a pair of ankle boots and you're good to go.<br />
<br />
Its interesting how both the minimalist lifestyle and minimalist fashion has been trending the past few years. I'll take both, please & thanks. That's my style lately for clothing, all simple everythang. Then of course, my accessory game adds a little extra style. I've paired down my color palette and everything can mix and match. Style simplified and consistent.<br />
