The Vanity... Oganizing Ideas

Hello my lovelies!!


Do you happen to have the same problem I do? Your trusted vanity, who holds all of your most precious things, is full to the point of overflowing? Or am I the only one?

I started nosing around on www.pinterest.com to get some organizing ideas to help me sort out my mess. Here are some pretty and fun ways I found to help get me back on track. See if you don't catch the bug to organize as well!!

The romantic girl who admires Coco Chanel.

A gallery.

Lovely to behold...

My favorite because as you know I am a girlie girl.

A very clever use of vintage drawers. How unique is this?!

Classy.

Tre chic!!

Tiered. Who knew there was another use for these things!?

Now that you've been inspired and your vanity is all organized take some time for yourself and spritz on your favorite scent to refresh yourself. Don't you feel better already?

Monday Musings...It's a Party Darlings!!

It's a Party Darlings!! So break out your finery...baubles by Tiffany!! Meow!!

Hello my darlings!!

I am on such a high knowing that in only two short days I will be seeing the Great Gatsby!! And since I am so excited about this event, one of my best girlfriends & I decided it would be fun to dress up & really make it a night to remember. So I've been searching the internet on some pretty hair tutorials and such & I found this one that I think is so exceptional I just HAD to share it with you.

This tutorial is owned and made by Lauren Reeser, the owner of American Duchess, a lovely blog that she created in order to share and educate those who have a love for historical costuming. Please drop by her blog...www.AmericanDuchess.blogspot.com.

Doesn't Daisy look just perfect?! What a glamour puss!!

So I was running all around looking for a pretty headband that I could wear. And you know I just couldn't find anything as stunning as the one here worn by Carey Mulligan. I decided I'd either make one with some ribbon & a brooch or just wear one I already own.

Does anyone see the spring/summer fashion trend in the picture above?! That's right my beauties!! The head scarf is oh so important this summer. And lucky for me I own gobs of them. None of which I will be wearing to the movie. Perhaps the next day in honor of the night?!

The real 20's glamour girl Billie Dove.

Check out this stylish head wrap!! Is it a hat or is it a combination of scarves held together by a brooch? You decide. Perhaps this could be another fun look to try with our headscarves this season?

Amazingly beautiful!!

Would you ladies try marcel waves? They seem so hard to me. I am going to try  a glamorous look with some curlers. I have bangs so it won't look anything like this. but I will take lots of photos to share with you all. So how are you celebrating for the movie of the century?!

The highly anticipated Gatsby!!

Home Sweet Home

Not my home. Lol! But I felt this photo was very warm & welcoming.

Hello lovelies!!!


We had a fantastic time away from home. We got to tour Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, run into the ocean at Virginia Beach (although the water was so cool that day that I quickly hightailed it back into the warm sand. Ha ha!!), we visited the Edgar Cacey Museum (the second most famous psychic). We enjoyed hanging out with our tea friends at Discover Teas. Check them out at www.discoverteas.com. They have some of THE freshest teas I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Also, went to a farmers market ( we loaded up on local yummies!!) and a flea market where I bought the most unusual ring from the 1930s. More on that in another post. All in all, it was so nice to get away, but coming home is lovely as well. My purr baby Ashe was happy to give me lots of love and Oscar, my shell baby ( he's our tortoise!), gave his "mom" some hugs. I missed you all so I am very happy to be here with you once again. So get ready for a new post soon!!!

Xo!!
