Chanel Inspired

Hey Strawbabies,,
So this is my true inspiration for my house from start to finish. I am so excited about the look and I can't wait for you guys to see the outcome. So, please stay tuned and watch me transform my sanctuary. Any home you have whether it is a room, studio, apartment, penthouse, house or mansion should be worth swooning over. Just take the time to make your home your own. Whatever space you have, can be transformed and made dreamy with a little love, tender and of course planning.
You can start your dream home right where you are. First you have to learn how to take care of the things that are in your possession. Once you figure that out and mastery those skills only then will you be rewarded with more.
A garden or your life will never grow without water, sunlight, love and care. Think of this when you think of everything that belongs to you Strawbabies. Your possessions should be a reflection of everything you have touched.  Is it good or do you need to step it up a little? Well Strawbabies, I wanted to step it up a little.
Tell me what you think of the inspirations I got from www.zgallerie.com.

Send me your pictures to post of your before and after to let me see where you started. Maybe I should do a home challenge.

My Closet

I was recently asked about my clothes at an event.  My PinkStrawbaby was like you never tell us where  you get your things or what you wearing. So I decided to weekly give you my closet. I shop alot of places, I personally dont just shop at one particular store and that's it. I shop around. I may go to the westside, eastside, southside. NYC, Miami overseas. Where ever I find something great I get it. Each piece is special and hand picked for my taste.

The Smores Kit

I recently neglected my blog a bit due to my very busy wedding/event planning business. The summer months often get hectic due to the summer brides and of course those summer birthday bashes. I truly missed blogging and promised to do at least one story every week and here it is already Friday again and I haven't did that one story. Not to break my promise, I decided to begin right away with the perfect favor idea I found on the net. I am a lover of  smores so this idea really caught my attention and this is the perfect time to give one to family and friends. The season is changing and the days are getting cooler. I am a lover of the fall/winter seasons and all the things it brings including the cold and snow. Some people say," they love summer because of the warmth it brings". I beg to differ because the winter brings warmth too. I love well-lit fireplaces, barn-fires,hot chocolate, warm apple pies and pumpkin pies. Must I go on. The smores kit idea, I found would make the perfect favor for any occasion whether casual or formal. The trick to this favor is the way you dress it up or down to present to your guest  you can change the twine or bow to compliment your occasion. For example, if it is a casual outdoor barn-fire affair keep the twine, or if it's a holiday dessert exchange you can tie it with a festive bow or ribbon and for a wedding favor use a more fancier ribbon or tulle.  I hope you enjoy this favor as much as I did.

Babyshower:The Ladybug

What a exciting way to celebrate the birth of a new baby. Have a Ladybug shower. Instead of you doing pink or blue or yellow. Pick your favorite theme and go with that. Thats what happened here, someone absolutely, positively loves ladybugs. Enjoy!!!!

Color Inspirations:The Sunflower

The sun this week has really been beaming across the States and the heat is really hot. I always like to think positive and keep it going. Even though the sun has made being outside at times very difficult. So, when you are trying to cool off and think about being cool and having cool moments and thoughts. Well I hope you get my point. Think of my color inspiration "The Sunflower".

Think of the sun as a flower."The Sunflower" and plan the perfect wedding.

Color Inspirations:The color "Kiwi"

Recently, I was eating kiwi and I thought how would this coordinate with a wedding. Of course the kiwi was refreshing and nice and tasty. I decided to recommend this color to the next bride that walks in my door and does not have a clue as to what color she wants to do this summer. KIWI

I enjoyed Kiwi and I would recommend this to a summer bride as a refreshing color for summer.
Enjoy
