I’m not sure how I got as many shots of this year’s tree as I did without actually getting a full photo from the ground-up BUT Ta-Daaaaa here is our tree this year… and while nearly every year we opt for a flocked tree because I love the way the faux snow looks all lit …
It may be a little late for Christmas and Holiday crafts, but this minimal wreath tutorial was so pretty and so simple, I just had to share, even if I don’t use it until next year – at least I have my own reference. I found it originally via Bazaar.com: How to Make a Modern …
Winter is in the air and the holiday season is finally upon us and my collaboration with Ross as a Ross Bargain Hunter wouldn’t be complete without some festive entertaining and holiday decor. But since it’s still fairly early in the season, while thinking about holiday entertaining and decor, I wanted something that could take …
Just recently I had a moment where I was kind of heading toward being totally over nail art… and then minutes later had this idea for a Christmas manicure, so there’s that. I’m kind of just loving simple classic colors on my nails without the distraction of all the frills, but that could change of …
This post is brought to you by Personal Creations. A few years ago I was gifted my very first faux Christmas tree to decorate for a project and I’ve used it each year since. Not only does it make decorating a snap, it fits perfectly in our long slanted hallway sitting area so I can …
Last week this gorgeous Winter wreath from The Purl Bee popped up on my Facebook timeline. Diana posted that she loved it but wouldn’t be shelling out $98 for it… and since I wouldn’t spend that much on a wreath either, I had to click through to check it out. Sure it’s a gorgeous textured …
I love our fireplace. It’s big and covered from floor to ceiling in gray stone or some sort of irregular slate slabs, but it doesn’t have a mantel. It actually has a small hood with painted flowers on it and it’s original and I kind of love it because it’s so unique. We also have …
It wasn’t until I made my Spectacular Starburst Tree Topper last year that I discovered the awesome that is pipe cleaners. And not just any pipe cleaners -metallic pipe cleaners. For some reason beyond my comprehension, when I use them in holiday projects, they go from being tacky craft supplies to fun and fabulous Christmas …
I have to admit that I’m not having the easiest time getting back to work after the holidays. And being that we just moved, I wish I could just take a few weeks off and say See ya after the new year! But I feel the pressure mounting. It’s lame really. I’m lucky that I …

Once or twice a week the husband and I go exploring in our new land and last week it was to Cedar Glen, which much like everything else, is about a five minute drive, and it is adorable. We stopped at the local hardware store to pick up a few supplies {snow shovel, gloves, kitchen …
In our new neutral living space, with little hints and pops of blue, I couldn’t imagine a tree in any other color palette. Being that I’ve never done a tree in these tones though, I only had a few ornaments that I could use. I grabbed some vintage ornaments in blue and teal, a few …
Last week Michaels sent me one of their pre-lit faux Christmas trees to participate in their Dream Tree Challenge as well as a small fortune to shop for fun Christmassy finds and DIYs of my own making. And a few days ago I posted photos of me shopping at Michaels looking for the goods. And …
What I’m Wearing* Red “mad for plaid” jeans… courtesy of Hudson. Hudson jeans are becoming a new favorite, I’m not gonna lie… they’re infringing on my love for J. Brand jeans. * Vintage patchwork leather jacket* Old star t-shirt* Gray cardigan… I think was from Heritage 1981* Huge scarf found at the little sundries shop …
As usual, it was a warm and sunny Christmas day here in Los Angeles and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love it. I remember riding my brand new skateboard in my brand new fringe boots and denim Guess mini skirt in the 80’s on a sunny Christmas morning and marveling in it… …
