As you may have guessed, I was inspired by Monday’s post: Decorating with Branches, and decided to create a little branch nail art manicure, which could also be construed as Cherry Blossoms due to the pink flowers I added. I love that this manicure is in line with all the pale nails we saw on …
In My Closet: Pulling Glam Red Carpet {Style} Looks…
I’m driving down to LA tomorrow for another little filming session with Tide & BlogHer, and while I have a million and one other things to do, I’m pulling red carpet looks from my closet to translate into wearable Spring style. Here are a few closeup shots of my {messy} closet {at the moment} and …
Winter Walking… One with Nature… & What We Wore
For taking walks, I bundle up like there’s no tomorrow. And usually, because I wear fingerless gloves OR I keep taking my damn hand OUT OF my glove to take photos, my fingertips feel like they’re going to fall off by the time we get back. And then I usually say something ridiculous to the …
Bringing the Outdoors In // Decorating with Branches
Lake House Pinterest Board via French GreyI have been known to, on more than one occasion, spy an amazingly large fallen tree branch while outside, decide it’s perfection, drag it home, wash it, and use it as decor in my own house. Note the word “fallen”, as I would never cut a tree and steal …
My InstaLife Recap : Week 2/17-2/23 in Photos
Find me on Instagram to see these in real time. It was a short week that began fun with friends who came to visit Sun-Monday and left just in time to miss the snow storm that kept us indoors for much of the remaining week. People who are used to actual snow storms wouldn’t probably …
I can create anything… I can’t create everything. darkness.
Sometimes… everything I am and everything I do is just a distraction to keep my mind from the darkness. It’s not that it doesn’t work, because it does. I stay busy. I focus on how to grow my business, how to create art, how to feed my passionate soul, how to be happy, and in …
Feather Wall Art DIY African Juju Hat Tutorial
A few weeks ago, after what seemed like a never-ending decor battle with my console table design layout {I know, so dramatic}, I decided that the wall above it, which is part of it, needed something that was pretty enough to draw attention but not so much as to distract the eye. It seemed like …

You’re Gonna Need a Bulletproof Soul
What I’m Wearing… * Thrifted camo jacket on a recent shopping expedition up in these here parts 😉 There was a name patch above one of the pockets which I easily removed with a seam ripper then tossed in the wash. I can’t believe how perfectly it fits. I love those kind of finds. I’d …
NYFW DIY Inspiration : Alexander Wang Fall 2013
When I spotted these socked heels on the Fall 2013 Alexander Wang RTW runway, I immediately thought it may offer a new and fun way to wear my heels out in these cold wintery months. Already wearing my leg warmers, I ran to my closet, slipped on my heels, folded my leg warmers under, aligned …
Metallic Nails Trio & General Valentine’s Day Romanticism
These are my favorite nails as of late. There’s really nothing original to it, but I love the mix of metallics, especially the 3 golds: White Gold, Rose Gold, & Yellow Gold. I just alternated the colors so no two of the same would sit next to the other. The Rose Gold is my go-to …
Hair Tutorial: Soft Romantic Beach Waves w/ Tapered Ceramic Iron
A few weeks ago my trusty 1″ Hot Tools curling iron finally called it quits. I think I bought it in or around 2003, so almost ten years of soft waving and amazing curls makes for a good buy, in my opinion. It remains my favorite, I must admit. But while searching for a replacement …

DIY Victorian Beaded Lace Ribbon Choker
I recently {and finally!} started the Downton Abbey series… and not 2 episodes in, I was itching to DIY a fabulous choker inspired by their attire. For this particular look though, I was inspired more by the high necklines of many of their dresses rather than a necklace specifically. But I’ve already got ideas for …
