<span style="font-size: x-large;">J</span>P and I are taking a trip to the London and Paris! I'm so excited I can barely stand it! I've been doing quite a bit of research on the two cities, but seem to have found more information on Paris vs. London. I need the blogging community to help a gal out and give me some good recommendations on restaurants, shops, galleries etc to visit while in London.<br />
<br />
Here are a few places I'm dying to visit while in Paris...please send more suggestions!<br />

JP and I took a trip to Vegas a couple of weeks ago. It was my first time - what a crazy place! I'm definitely glad I got to experience it. Everything about it is loud and in your face. Including the above painting that I discovered in the lobby of the hotel Aria. I was memorized by it. I love the large brush strokes and brilliant color. I did a little research and the artist, <a href="http://www.jamesnares.com/Site/JAMES%20NARES.html">James Nares</a>, paints by suspending himself over the canvases hooked up to a harness - click <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuONVxrnheaBqISDojVJKx_E8iFdbms70G9vCALtiqSwOZJKaFR4Gkf0K3E06aLYGbDEBNZ0REu0W1lvxVNkRLN6BfR8kF1FEX3MN-XOtCIftp5ZfYPp3vPDvmMYgOJZZE3HgBluxl1-U/s1600/james_nares1.jpg">here</a> to get a visual - its pretty amazing! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The other day I stumbled upon this photo pf SJP in a gorgeous <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-PGURUNG">Prabal Gurung</a> spring 2012 frock. I kind of gasped when I saw it because it reminded me so much of the painting I've been lusting over since Vegas. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Well, my genius sister decided to take the designs and transfer them to printed note cards. Aren't they stunning?! Mine are the watercolor line drawings (top right and bottom middle). Do you want to know the BEST part though?? The art on the "Catherine" series which consists of the top middle and bottom left card were done my my 3 year old niece! One day after she was finished with a little painting project, my sister was cleaning up and notices how lovely the palette she used to mix her colors was. She saved it and transferred the masterpieces to her note cards. Again, genius!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> like to see potential in everything whether it be a dirty old trunk - perfect for a chic coffee table accented with a luxe tray and eye catching books - or in this case a pair of boring old bar stools. These bar stools were left to us by the previous owner of our house. At first glance I was like - those are going in the trash ASAP, but when I began searching for stools online to replace them; I quickly realized how EXPENSIVE they can be! Each one that caught my eye was at least $800 +. That's when I decided maybe I could just give these stale stools a good face lift.<br />
<br />
I picked up some high gloss white spray paint at Home Depot, purchased <a href="http://www.thaisilks.com/prints_gallery_img.php?i=887&c=world" style="color: #ea9999;">this</a> gorgeous silk charmeuse ikat print fabric from Thai Silks, and found some great vintage drawer pulls at an antique mall in Saugatauck, MI to put on the back's for a little interest. <br />
<br />
I'm not in love with the traditional shape of them, but I think they turned out pretty cute for what I had to work with! What do you think?<br />

</div><span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span>t doesn't take much to make me smile. Last weekend I went to grab a cup of coffee and make a quick stop at the farmers market to pick up some fresh veggies and meat for dinner, but came home with much more. First I stopped at my favorite little coffee shop and discovered metallic covered dragées. They are so beautiful that they hardly look edible, but they are! <br />
<br />
Next I picked up the most exquisite and unique flowers from a local vendor which I used as a center piece for dinner later that night. I displayed them in all different little vases on a platter. It was very thrown together, but I think that's why it worked so well.<br />
<br />
Lastly, on our way out of the market, my eyes shot over to a table filled withe little origami birds. Two adorable little boys were making and selling them for $2 each! I couldn't help but buy a couple - they and the boys were too precious! Currently, they are residing on a favorite coffee table book and my mantle. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Have a very stylish weekend!</div><br />

Everything I'm drawn to is 70's disco inspired. Think plunging necklines, floaty floor grazing dresses and shirts, fluted pleats, sparkles, sequins and wispy feathery hair. I want it all! The best way to pull off this look is to mix it with something modern and unexpected. <br />

We had the best time shopping for vintage goods, eating at Atlanta's best restaurants and drinking inventive cocktails! There is nothing more rejuvenating than a get together with the best women in your life. It was truly memorable.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my favorite photos from the weekend.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">L</span>ast week I realized that I'd thought of how I wanted to decorate every room in the house except our bedroom. After realizing this, I started to feel bad that I had been neglecting one of the MOST important rooms in the home. The bedroom is where one needs to feel safe, cozy and of course - stylish! I knew I wanted our room to feel dramatic, but also "happy". I loved the idea of painting the walls a deep greenish/blue, so I did exactly that! We went with <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.housetweaking.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/newburg2.png&imgrefurl=http://www.housetweaking.com/2011/06/22/you-hue-benjamin-moore-newburg-green/&h=472&w=526&sz=307&tbnid=m1o2IBKUby_RwM:&tbnh=118&tbnw=132&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbenjamin%2Bmoore%2Bnewburg%2Bgreen%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=benjamin+moore+newburg+green&usg=__FKYZyk60_BnQkIViFHLn5FA6ahU=&sa=X&ei=3iguTvTxFKu80AGkqpnBAQ&ved=0CDkQ9QEwBg"><span style="color: #ea9999;">B. Moore's</span></a> "Newburg Green". I LOVE this color. I first painted one wall behind our bed and lived with that for a week just to be sure it was what I wanted. My husband wasn't sold on having the whole room be so dark, but I think he is really happy with it now. I purchased these bright <a href="http://compare.ebay.com/like/110712169566?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y"><span style="color: #ea9999;">shams</span></a> (on sale for $30.00!) at Anthropologie and plan to incorporate them with a bright hotel-y white duvet to really pop against the dark walls. I'm not <em>actually</em> going to buy the chair, but hope to find something like it to put in the corner of the room - any ideas?? The aqua frames look so much more luxe and shiny in person. They remind me of <a href="http://www.lilleashop.com/productDetail.asp?categoryID=1&productID=968"><span style="color: #ea9999;">these</span></a> boxes. For even more luxe, I want to buy these <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod102420158&eItemId=prod102420158&cmCat=search&searchType=MAIN&parentId=&icid=&rte=%252Fsearch.jhtml%253FN%253D0%2526Ntt%253Dtuxedo%252Bsconce%2526_requestid%253D61439"><span style="color: #ea9999;">sconces</span></a>. They feel so dressy serious. Lastly, I'm dying to get an Hermes <a href="http://usa.hermes.com/p_avalon-throw_avalon-blankets1_home_45985_128023_128022_128021_127528_10202_10052_-1__0"><span style="color: #ea9999;">throw</span></a> to drape at the end of the bed or tossed on the chair. <br />
<br />
I can't wait to share the final results...almost there :)<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I </span>recently had a friend come to me asking for help to find her a dress for a late summer wedding. Sometimes the end of summer is a tricky time to find the right look. You don't want to look too summery, but you also don't want to read too fall-ish. I have a wedding to attend in mid September. I think any of the above looks would be perfect. All have a little something dark, colorful and unique. I am most loving the first and fourth looks. What is your idea of the perfect late summer ensemble??<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">F</span>or a girl that is obsessed with makeup and beauty products in general, I absolutely loathe going to the makeup counter at the mall to purchase them. The thought of being bombarded by the women spraying perfume in your face and practicing their pushy sales tactics is less than desirable. The solution? <a href="http://www.wooskincareandcosmetics.com/index.html#/home/"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Woo</span></a> Skincare and Cosmetics! Woo is a high end cosmetics boutique that carries coveted lines like Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Trish McEvoy and my new favorite - <a href="http://www.plabeauty.com/wheretopla.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">(Plā) Beauty</span></a>. <a href="http://www.plabeauty.com/wheretopla.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">(Plā) Beauty</span></a> is a full cosmetic line that offers a good chunck of its profits to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta - (read their story <a href="http://www.plabeauty.com/ourstory.htm"><span style="color: #e06666;">here</span></a>). Woo also offers services like anti-aging facials, waxing, brow tinting and makeup application. The best part about Woo? The staff is suuuper friendly, knowledgeable and won't push you to buy anything you don't want or need. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After a friend told me about Woo, I decided to go try it our for myself. I've been bored with the eye shades and lip colors I currently own and tend to always use the same ones, so I opted to have my makeup done to get a fresh new look. As soon as I walked into Woo I was greeted by Katie, one of Woo's top makeup artists. She was as sweet as pie and gorgeous to boot! She began my session with introducing me to a few different kinds of moisturizers, sunscreens and light foundations. She then moved onto the makeup application. She asked me a series of questions like what kind of products I currently use, what I don't like about them, and what I'm looking to add to my "look". Whatever she did must have worked, because I ended up purchasing six of the items she used! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I love discovering new stores in Atlanta in hopes they'll become my frequent destinations for gifts, home goods and clothes. A couple weeks ago, a friend suggested I go check out <b>Peridot Distinctive Gifts</b>, a boutique in Buckhead that houses everything from a French Provincial chandeliers for your dining room to graphic beach totes for your next vacation. This place has it all and each item is both unique and special. <br />
<br />
When I walked into the store, I was greeted by their very friendly staff and a room full of jewelry (high end and costume). The next room was heavily merchandised with embroidered dish towels, heavenly scented candles and decorative items for the home. I walked upstairs and found graphic beach cover-ups, beach totes, a heavy assortment of coffee table books, brightly colored graphic pillows and tons of items for the little one in your life. Whether you're looking for a gift for someone, or just need a little reward for yourself after a hard week, this is the place to go! Of course I didn't leave empty handed - I bought a rustic lantern for my outdoor dining table and a shiny gold bangle, but wanted to buy much more. I am already looking forward to another visit soon. Happy shopping, fellow Atlantans!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> bought these gorgeous lamp bases over the weekend at an <a href="http://www.antiquesandbeyond.com/TourTheShop.html" style="color: #ea9999;">antique shop</a> I recently discovered by my house. The pair was only 80 bucks! I felt like I'd won the jackpot! Now I need to find the right shade - what would you put on them? I'm thinking a dark navy drum shade, but bright white would be nice too. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>his week I pledged to myself that it was time to start saving some money. Unfortunately, I now have another round up of items that I feel I cannot live without. Call me greedy, but there is always something I want. Ugh - I blame it on the Christmas when my Santa brought me a dress up box filled with treasures - makeup, jewels, dresses, plastic high heels and crowns. Thanks a lot Santa...(J/K).<br />
<br />

Where can I buy this stuff??<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The mantle looks a bit haphazard at the moment. I need to find a cool piece of art to put here. On another note, I'm loving my little pink chairs - they're surprisingly super comfy. Would you believe my husband was the one who found these? He said they looked so "me". Cute, right?! I told him not to worry that I would find a way to add a bit more masculinity in this room...eventually...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>I discovered <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/harlex?ref=seller_info"><span style="color: #ea9999;">this</span> </a>Etsy shop the other day and I'm completely obsessed! Sure I usually go for things that have some (for lack of a better word) "flair", but every once in awhile I can't seem to resist something super classic, clean and timeless. That is exactly what <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/harlex?ref=seller_info" style="color: #ea9999;">Harlex</a> is all about. These beautifully hand-crafted leather goods (most can be personalized) would be the perfect gift or little treat for yourself! I've got my eye on the envelope <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/74965971/personalized-envelope-clutch-with" style="color: #ea9999;">clutch</a>, leather pouch <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/59548566/leather-pouch-bag-hand-stitched" style="color: #ea9999;">bag</a>, and personalized camera neck <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/71259898/personalized-camera-neck-strap-with" style="color: #ea9999;">strap</a>. Love them all!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> have a fun post planned for next week involving makeup - can't wait to share with you! My current makeup regime is forever changing. It depends on my mood, skin condition, outfit...the list goes on. Lately my go to look has been a super dewy glow (which I get from my moisturizer), concealer, a soft dusting of bronzer on my t-zone and cheeks, a light shimmery gold shadow, black mascara (no eyelash curler) and a swipe of a bright lipstick - either an orange-y red or shocking pink. It's the perfect daytime look and makes you appear healthy and awake (even if you don't feel awake!). What is your makeup regime? Are you a natural makeup girl, glamour girl, or chameleon?<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">C</span>urrently I have a basic black, nylon laptop case that is terribly boring. When I go "off-site" to blog, I'm embarrassed to carry it into the cutsie coffee shops I frequent. I desperately need something fun, yet functional. I'm thrilled designers are now offering super chic laptop, ipad and iphone cases and covers. Trying to choose one of the below...I'm leaning towards the pretty blush colored metallic-y one (top left), but it doesn't have handles, so my next choice would be the Marc one...hmmm.<br />
<br />
Which would you pick? <br />
