From Fashion to Interior Design

I decided to take a little break from fashion this week and share my ideas for a room makeover. I decided that it is time to change things up a little bit and I figured this is a fun way to do just that.

My current room is black, white, and red with an old Hollywood theme. My new look will still have the black and white but I have decided to go with a more neutral pallet. My inspiration came from my love for vintage furniture and accent pieces. I also feel that the new look has a sophistication that fits my personality.

Here are some of the pieces I am planning on purchasing and/or finding. Let me know what you think. Maybe when I complete the room transformation I will post some of the before and after shots. Please feel free to send your thoughts and suggestions. I always love to hear the feedback.

From My Closet

Happy Friday everyone!

About two posts back I did a polka dot inspiration post and promised to share some of my own polka dot outfits and items. Here are a few photos of polka dot looks that I styled from my own closet.

I tried to show how versatile this amazing trend can be and I hope they inspire you to create some polka dot outfits of your own. Did I mention that all these outfits are all under $250!?!?! Not only are they cute outfits but also dots on a budget. Can't complain about that!

Parisian Inspiration Flashback

Bonjour les amis!

About four years ago I went to Paris, France with my Mom and Grandmother. I was so excited to visit one of the most famous fashion capitals of the world and let's just say... I wasn't disappointed. Paris is a beautiful city full of inspiration.

From time to time, I love to look back and re-live some of the most inspiring moments that I captured during my visit. While most of these photos have little to no fashion in them, the people, city, culture, art, and architecture still impact me the same.

These photos are pictures that I took during my visit. I hope they can be as inspiring to you as they are to me.

Profitez de Paris à travers mes yeux.
