I came across this post yesterday, and was immediately inspired to search for a kaftan. The most cozy, chic look and perfect for traveling. Wear during the day as a cover up and as a dress, or with white jeans in the evening. Here are a few of my favorite options from World Market, and all under $30!

feeling blue

Ok, not really feeling blue, but definitely feeling this blue and white color scheme. I love these finds from Furbish Studios.

reading and wearing
April 16, 2013

I have coffee table books all throughout my house {seen here}, I find myself picking them up occasionally as a place to look for inspiration. Don’t get me wrong, I go to Pinterest more often than not, but there is just something I love about flipping the pages of a hard cover book. I came across this beautiful book {the cover image is just perfection} and was instantly inspired.

….of orange. I love this shade lately; from home accents, to clothing, to the fruit itself. I can’t get enough. Here are a few inspiring photos as of late.

Fashion week is in full swing in New York, and even though I am occupied with Mardi Gras celebrations, I can’t help but gather inspiration from the shows. Check out my Pinterest page for a few of my favorite looks thus far.

fossil for spring

I stopped in the Fossil store today and was pleasantly surprised at all the amazing spring arrivals. The colors, fabrics and patterns, just perfection! I posted this pic on instagram, and had to share more than just one look!

just a little accent
January 22, 2013

I finally found a dresser {briefly shown here} and started making changes around my bedroom to accommodate the style and size. The new piece is a total different shape then my last one and I now have the space for an additional accent piece in my room. I recently found several I love from Target, and majority happen to be on sale too {all under $65}!

dark and dreary
January 16, 2013

The weather in New Orleans the last two weeks has been absolute dreary. From cold and raining, to warm and foggy, and now freezing with the chance of sleet. Needless to say I am counting down the days till we will see the sun again {they say Friday}. When the weather is like this I can’t help but reach for the darker items in my closet. Here are a few all black combinations I love, just add an umbrella and they would fit right in down here. 2013-01-15_23-03-04.44

oh Nate!
January 15, 2013

Nate Berkus has been a favorite of mine ever since his days of room makeovers on Oprah. In November’s Architectural Digest,  Nate’s own apartment was featured with several before and after photos of his renovations. I love his style and find lots of inspiration in his spaces. {Want to own some of Nate’s pieces? Check out his affordable line for Target!}
