Just like any other project I take on, it's always a work in progress. A few months ago I transformed an ugly green bedroom in my house (it was so ugly I never even went in the space!) into a dressing room. Yep, a whole room to spew around clothes, shoes and accessories. Now I have a nice giant full length mirror in there, shelves hung for shoes and started adding some pops of color with painted hangers. Pretty close to being complete! Love this space and it's been a blast to work on.

TRENDING: embellished collars

I'm finally jumping on this trend. I'm not a fan of collared shirts but with a little extra fun from embellishment...sequins, studs and spikes...how can I say no?!
Here are a few great options: 1  /  2  /  3

Warning: color and pattern overload. I was inspired by the top image...pattern formed by layered color. It made my head explode a little bit, in a good way of course. Naturally, I wanted more of this eye candy... so I hunted up some similar items. Below are links to the fun finds

1. Geometric Leather Fringe Earrings  ///  2. Chloe Color Block Leather Envelope Purse  ///  3. Herve Ledger Color Block Dress  ///  4. Whorled Felt Rug  ///  5. Rebecca Minkoff Uma Flats  ///  6. iPhone Color Block and Studded Case

I sort of have an obsession with making little cakes...and of course eating them. Being a graphic designer, pixel perfect perfection is engrained into our process...but I've fallen in love with the imperfect artistic nature of buttercream frosting.

This cute little 3 layer, 6 inch cake was for my mom's birthday. Had so much fun making it for her!
I left the exterior simple, covered in buttercream and then coated it in white chocolate curls. It was a simple vanilla cake...until you cut into it. Stunning 2 toned lavender cake layers were the surprise punch!
This was my first attempt with coloring the cake batter itself and I love the results!

Major jeweled ear armor...these statement making ear cuffs are all the rage lately. I went with one of the simpler ones, Chain Stone Ear Cuff, (top pic) from Topshop.

Color is my passion...and I LOVE my orange and yellow kitchen. The bold, bright and sunny colors always make it an inviting place (except when there are dirty dishes everywhere, ahhh!). 

Sadly, when trying to find orange kitchen gear, it's always few and far between...so as a solution, I'm jazzing up my own. I took basic bamboo spoons and added bold color to the handles. This is a great simple way to add a punch of color to your kitchen. Just simply mask off the area you want to paint so you get a clean line. You can even do stripes or a geometric pattern if you'd like. I added metallic gold and silver to some of the ends to mix it up.

Hey Cleveland, J. Crew's sister store, MADEWELL is opening up at Beachwood Place. I'm so excited to have a local store to get to see the styles in person! They have a great selection of the hippest trends from color blocking to mad patterns to mix and match.
