Oh, How Pinteresting!

Happy Wednesday! Today I am linking up for:

One of my favorite pastimes is reading. Therefore I am hoping to incorporate a reading nook in my new home. Reading nooks are those nice little nooks in your home where you don’t mind spending a whole day buried up reading a novel or catching up on magazines/comic books. My dream nook will be a pretty little corner where it is quiet, comfortable and cozy. Preferably next to a large window with plenty of natural light. Here are some inspirations I've pinned:

Is there anything more relaxing than curling up with a good book and escaping from the realities of your everyday life? Which one do you like best?

Spring Fever

Having Spring Fever in February is completely normal, especially when it has been such a warm winter. While I am stocking up on spring dresses, sandals and shorts in preparation for our upcoming trip to GA/FL, I am still wearing my colored jeans nonstop!

Still a big trend this year - colored jeans is a great way to get a little taste of spring even if it is technically winter. The rainbow of colors are spot on for spring and are oh so transitional!

Pair them with your favorite chunky sweater/fur embellishments and boots now. Then transition them into spring with tanks and sandals. This Spring they are also coming in a range of neon colors as well - so much fun!

Mom's Jewelry Box

I absolutely loved playing with my mom's jewelry collection when I was younger. And now that I am married I have a whole new collection of great items to play with - my mother-in-laws'.

This past weekend we stayed at my in-laws and it was so much fun rummaging through my mother-in-laws' treasures to find things that she doesn't often wear but are important to her because she keeps them in special boxes. Her collection consists of so many unique pieces; pieces you just can't buy in stores these days. I love jewelry pieces that have special details and was totally smitten by this gorgeous necklace and matching pin!

 

Aside from the fact that her pieces are unique and special, they also come with a story. Most of the time they have more sentimental than monetary value but it is the pride of ownership and being the keeper of family tradition that holds the value of the item. We often get so into buying things that we overlook amazing things that are within reach!

Bright Bold Pants

Hi everyone!

One trend that I am currently loving this season is the bold, bright pants - they are fun and refreshing. Especially for a season that's normally known for its moody grays and blacks.

Colored pants can seem intimidating because most people just assume it won't go with anything, but that's not the case. If anything they are a great investment because they make such a statement that the rest of the outfit can be pretty simple.

 One way to wear colored pants subtly is to control the amount of color being exposed. Here I paired the hot pink pants with a long gray sweater. This balances out the color scheme as well as the silhouette of the outfit. Colored pants comes in many different styles so you'll surely find a hot hue that suits you. 

Tips on wearing colored pants:

1. Pick a Color - Choose a color that you like because most likely if you don't even like the color you won't wear it. Don't be afraid to be a rebel with a cause and choose whatever tickles your fancy.

2. Choose your style - Pick a style that works for you and that you feel comfortable wearing. Don't get all crazy with different cuts and design just because of the color.

3. Experiment, Experiment - Try it on with different items from your closet. Don't be afraid to pair your colorful pants with an equally bright top. But if you haven't worked up that kind of courage, then keep the top neutral. A crisp white button down also makes for an always-classic look.

Happy Wednesday! Today I am linking up for:

With my first pinterest entry I want to share some news with you - we finally closed on our house! Even though this is not the first home that we own, it will be the first one that we are renovating from scratch. First order of business is choosing the layout for our kitchen because as we all know - the kitchen is the heart and soul of the home. So without further ado here are some inspirational kitchen layouts that I have been looking at:
