Fashion Friday ~ Feeling Fresh.


One day 'til Summer! Can you believe it? Where did Spring go?! I keep thinking it was just yesterday that we had those huge amounts of snow...

In this look, I am wearing my beloved Fresh. crop top from SETATA.  Funny fact, I would not usually dare wearing a top shorter than my belly button, but this one is a different story.  I guess I feel kind of connected to the top after attending the Jersey Shore Fashion Show and staying by the designer's side!
The skirt I wear is an old black and white high waisted dress.  The white top was not to my tastes anymore, so I removed it and kept the fun ruffle skirt.
The shoes are Adolfo Dominguez, and jewelry stella & dot.

The Useful & Easy Stuff ~ The Deck

Summer is just around the corner! This year I want to be able to fully enjoy the deck with my Husband and family.  So, big project going on: a deck makeover.

I was going to build palettes benches for our deck with some palettes we grabbed last summer, but unfortunately, we stupidly kept them outside all year, standing in the grass. And well... when I tried getting these palettes, it wasn't all pretty.  Yes, wood will deteriorate if you leave it out without any finish as a protective coat, but also bugs will start lovin' that wood!! Eeew... I can't stand bugs...

Since the palettes idea was out, I shopped the house!  And once again decided to give our little coffee table a new purpose.


You have probably seen this table in a previous post when I organized a closet into what I called my craft sanctuary.
Well, with the sunny days coming, I thought this shall become an outside bench!

My Organized Nook day ~ A Dream Vanity

I hope everyone had a nice weekend and Father's day! Here in Jersey, it was a gorgeous Sunday. Perfect weather.
Thank you to all of you who participated in the See U Now Link Party yesterday.  And if you haven't yet, add your links, it's never too late! ;)

***********

Organizing a house, a room, an area can change your life for the best.  But, making the right changes can be difficult without any plans.  
Before doing anything, I like to think about what my needs are, and what I would like the new design of the space to look like. 
Polyvore is an amazing tool not only for fashion, but also to create mood boards and plan home designs.

I often dream of the perfect vanity.  A beautiful table, comfortable stool and a big fancy mirror where I could spend {hours} prettifying myself! 
When One Kings Lane, a company that sales top-brand, vintage and designer items at discounted prices for about 72 hours only,  contacted me to know if I wanted to participate in their Reflect Your Style campaign, I was thrilled!  

They sent me six mirrors to chose from and create a gorgeous vanity design to go with it.

Here are five of the six
These are very nice mirrors. All so different one from another, each telling a story. My favorite one however is the Vevey Mirror {featured in my mood board}.
Its bold gold frame inspired me to go with a vintage and classy design.



This elegant half moon table with the limed wash finish reminds me of France.  I love this smooth semi circle shape, which is also in the mirror from One Kings Lane, and the long slim legs.
The Vevey Mirror makes this piece of furniture stand out.
I added a pop of color to my design with this purple vanity stool. Doesn't it look so comfy?!

This vanity would make me a really happy girl!! 
Make sure to check out all the mirrors from One Kings Lane.  They have so many different styles, one for every taste.

What's a piece of furniture or special space you've always dreamed of for yourself?

Fashion Friday ~ SETATA Fashion Show

This past Wednesday, I had the amazing opportunity to join SETATA, an up and coming clothing brand, at the Jersey Shore Fashion Show. 
It was really great experience!
My first fashion show, my first time seeing the brand in person, my first time driving by myself down the shore!! Oh yeah! Not only did this day satisfy my fashion crave, it also gave me a sense of freedom ;)

Fashion Friday ~ Kendra's Miami Fashion Challenge

Today is a very special Fashion Friday.

I am taking part in "Kendra's Miami Fashion Challenge" which means that I will share with you six different outfits I created in Polyvore for the occasion.
{I don't know where I've been all these years, but I just discovered and started using this app, it's AWESOME!!!! I had so much fun getting creative and putting together the best outfits I could.}

About the challenge:

Kendra Thornton, a renowned travel expert who makes regular appearance on stations like ABC, CBS, FOX, CW and has been a special guest at The Tyra Banks show, The Nate Show and more, asked me if I could come up with some fashionable outfitsfor her upcoming getaway.  She and her husband are finally taking time for just the two of them {sorry kids, you're staying home}, and are going on a relaxing and romantic escape in the "capital" of the Sunshine State, wonderful Miami, FL!

Can it get more romantic that this?!
Anywho... As excited as I am about this project, I'm better of letting you read the sweet and beautiful Kendra herself!!
