Shopbox #3 -Valentine’s day picks

February 11, 2015

Valentine’s day is just around the corner! have you picked out a gift yet? Well, I have always sort of had mixed feelings about the celebrations around it . Although I love the thought of buying cute gifts and spending time with your loved one ( or have a drinking party with friends 😉 ), I’m not really into the hearts and roses cliches. But hey! as long as we have fun, any reason to have a great dinner and drinks with lovers, friends or family is always welcome right?

So here are some Vday gift picks and some wardrobe choices I would wear depending on the place ( not that I have a problem with a RED dress ) but it’s just a personal choice .

6From left to right: Satin A-line dress by SUNO available @Modaoperandi  //  Floral colar dress by Valentino available @Farfetch  // Ruched floral dress by Dolce&Gabbana available @Lyst

Hope you guys have a great week ahead!

Happy planning & shopping 🙂

DIY Holiday wreath

November 26, 2014

0The smell of baked pies,sitting next to the fireplace,shopping for gifts, hosting parties and mainly the decorations are a few things about the holiday season which I love. The spirit of celebrations in the air and everyone is decorating their homes with loved ones. I have this very cute little traditional wreath that I put up every year, however this time I wanted to do something different. I had this vintage letter holder which i found at a flea market long time ago and dint know where i could use it. Well here its is! all decked up and ready for the holidays.

1

Things you need : Painters tape, scissors, gold paint, brush, pink spray paint( I am using Valspar color radiance), a letter-holder /tin/cardboard box ( i am using the letter holder i found at the flea market) and some greens & flowers. Stores: Lowe’s & Michaels

9You could use this flower arrangement even after the holiday season anywhere in your house as wall hanging . Also, if you are using a tin or plastic container like I am then you could use fresh flowers too as it would hold water and keep them fresh longer.

I enjoyed making this. It was so quick and the whole thing cost me about $25 in total including all the supplies. cool right? Hope you give it try too.

Happy Holidays!

Fall Tablescape Ideas

November 8, 2014

It’s that time of the year when many of us are channeling our inner hosts and thinking of ideas and themes to throw the perfect holiday party. I love to see different ways in which people decorate their tables to celebrate fall. Here are some gorgeous ones I came across while leafing through the internet.
Love this dark theme table by eye swoon.

Shopbox #2 – Navy is winning this Fall

October 9, 2014

Autumn is here and the changes are happening. Pumpkin cinnamon lattes are taking over cool lemonades. Pastels are being replaced by darker warmer hues. This fall I have a new favorite.. yup it’s Navy!! Actually I have been obsessing over this color all through this year and I think I am going to try out even more of it for fall. Burgundies, maroons and dark oranges usually dominate this time of the year but this year I am going Navy. Its dark, its sophisticated and it can be paired with all the pops of colors from the fall foliage.

Yesterday I used this color in my painting and thought I should put together another Shopbox to inspire you guys and like it as much as I do.

Shopbox-#2

 

Shop these items here :: 1) Fabulous coat from Zara. 2) Ring from Terrain. 3) I am definitely going to use these terracotta tiles from Tabarka Studio in my house. 4) Cute scarf from Etsy. 5) Embroidered pillow from Anthropologie. 6) Fedora hat from Topshop.

Inspiration : Color used for a Seascape painting

September 29, 2014

This is my first SHOPBOX and I am planning to make one every week for you guys. SHOPBOX is collection of some fun accessories and goodies I put together based on things I get inspired by. Today’s inspiration is this painting I created long time ago and it reminds me of one of those transition days from summer to fall when the leaves just begin to start turning color.

These for sure brightened up my morning and hope they pull down your Monday morning blues too

COLOR-INSPIRATION-#1

Like anything? You can get them here: 1) Ball point pen from Katespade 2) Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses available at Shopbop 3) Beer and now bottle opener by Gama-Go available at Modcloth 4) Stacked book wallpaper from Anthropologie 5) Neon-leather-coasters from Leif 6) Seaside lace up cut-out shoe from Topshop

P.S. I am obsessed with that pen and my head is exploding with ideas of using that wall paper. Already seeing a photo shoot.. But wait, let’s make that another post.

Happy Monday!
