Fun Interior Design Website -OlioBoard

O.K.,  This is exciting stuff for designers and the interior designed obsessed. You need to check out this website olioboard.com. This fun website allows you to create interior mood boards, shop & help create shopping lists and offers fun challenges and contests. The exciting part for me is also offers a Olio Pro membership that you can upgrade to for a monthly fee. Here is my first board I created....My Dream Bedroom.

Get to "The Point"

I am loving the return of the pointed toe pump. It looks instantly chic and sleek when paired with skinny jeans, leather pants, or slacks! This is a perfect transitional look for our Seattle spring weather, freezing!

Charlize looking sleek and chic as always!!

Olivia loves the look!

Isabel Marant- love these jeans!!

Rockin the Valentino studded pump!

Spring 2012 Trend Alert: Stacked Bracelets

I am crazy over an arm full of stacked bracelets. Pick up any fashion magazine and you will see braclets stacked in leather, string, braided, gold, silver with cuffs and watches.

Here are a few tips on how to wear this trend:

Polished- go with a chunky gold watch and stick with a basic color scheme.

Evening- how about adding some sparkle. Start with a high polished large silver cuff with a few diamond or crystal bracelets. Vary the sizes or textures.

Lastly, roll up those sleeves and carry a clutch to show them off!!!

Polished

Colorful!

Summer!

Its Here, Its Here, The First Day of Spring!!!!
