Mother's Day Makeover

Mother's Day is right around the corner. Don't know what to get mom but want to do something big that will show her how special she is? Want to do something together with your siblings but don't know what gift to get?

I'm taking a different approach to a Mother's Day Gift guide this time around.. If mom's got a home office or a space where she works at home then this is a perfect idea for a gift. A Mother's Day Makeover would not only be a meaningful and long lasting gift, but would also be a gift that's definitely outside of the box!

Young House Love

Can you imagine getting this fun and updated look for just about $450.00? Ahhh, I just love Target! The office inspiration from Young House Love features such a simple design concept - Painting the ceiling a bright and fun color makes the room look taller and creates a fun accent to the room. 

What will you do for your mom on Mother's Day this year?

Target: Spring 2014

Alright, Alright. I know I've said this multiple times before but I just love Target. And I'm not lying one bit when I say it again today. Target has come out with their new spring collections for fashion and home. Have you seen the target commercials for the new fashion line by Peter Pilotto? Personally, I'm not a fan but then again I love my blacks, grays and blue jeans kinda wardrobe. Guilty. [If only you guys saw what I looked like behind the laptop right now most days]

With that said, I've been trying to avoid the inevitable. The home section. Online and in stores, doesn't matter which form of shopping but I'm bound to buy something and lets face it my bank account would be less than pleased with me. But I did it. For the well being of my blog. [yeah right]

I think I died and went to heaven.

Target really pulled out all the tricks for this one. Nate Berkus has come out with a bathroom collection for Spring 2014. Hallelujah. Gentlemen, take notes - this collection is right up your alley and you don't have to risk your manhood at a store you'd never be caught dead in to shop for them! And besides my man Nate Berkus, Target has everything from furniture & lighting to frames & candles in their new spring collections.

Now that I'm done babbling - Here's what I'm loving from Target these days:

Shop These Products:

New Years Eve Glam

Hello Hello! I'm sure by now everyone knows that Target is my go-to store. Or, [my main bitch] as I like to call it.. That store literally has everything. Find one with a supermarket in it and you've just hit gold.

And, As we all know the big day night is around the corner... [NEW YEARS EVE]

[Insert Annie "Tomorrow" music here]

No matter what your plans are, I'm sure you can't help but stop by for a few last minute things. Why not check out my NYE glam picks and maybe grab a little somthin' somethin' while you're at it.. Not to mention I got my NYE dress at the golden store we like to call Target. Proof that the store can fill up your bar cart, fridge, host a dinner party, and dress the hostess all at the same time.

And when I say [a little somthin' somethin'] I'm talking about my these:

On a side note, I have the black and gold Nate Berkus Pillow and I'm obsessed with it. Feel free to click around and use the bottom images for more information! Happy Shopping!

Colorless Bedroom

Hello Friends! Remember that post about my post grad bedroom? [wayyy back when I first started blogging] Well, I guess it's true what they say about a designer's home never being complete. I think I take the cake for that one... 6 months out of college and I'm back at it. Designing my bedroom once again. This time I think I've come to a decision that will keep me happy for a while [at least I hope so..] I've figured out what makes me the happiest.

Black | White | Grey | Gold

No color. Whatsoever.

Call me weird, it's okay.  I've just figured out that every time I try to pick a color for my room, I want to change it within a few months. PROBLEM SOLVED. Here is my plan for my [Colorless] Bedroom makeover!

White Duvet Cover | Black Sheer Curtains | Black and White Geometric Pillow | Black & Gold Pillow | Gray Quilt [Please Note:  There is no shame in my ikea shopping skills]

And for a better idea as to what I'm imagining...

Gold Rush

Alright Alright, I'm back! I do sincerely apologize for my absence in the blogging world. [I would like to think I've been missed]

Long story short, and without talking your faces off... My big girl job has gotten really busy. So busy that I haven't found any free time to blog ...and when I do have free time... let's just say I've been morphed into my bed with Netflix on and a glass [bottle] of wine in my hand.

So without any further complications... Here it is: Trending Tuesday! I've been meaning to cover this topic for a while. So, in honor of the latest metallic buzz from NY Fashion week that recently took place..

Today's Trending topic is going to focus on using gold in design
