FOR THE HOME: BEDROOM ESSENTIALS

Science confirms that a well decorated bedroom leads to a better quality of life. Kidding. I have no effing clue what scientist have to say about the benefits of chic living space, but if I were a scientist (which I'm not) I would say it's good for you! (I think I might be confusing being a doctor with being a scientist). So anyway, here are some of the elements I have, or plan on buying for our new bedroom. They bring together a perfect mixture of natural, modern and bohemian items, which is exactly what I'm going for! Shop the items below, and stay tuned to see how they look in our bedroom.

FOR THE HOME: BEDROOMS

Long time no talk. But I'm back people, and with a vengeance. (Sorry, that was intense). Anyway, I've been looking back on my resolutions and realized that this one, updating the blog, has definitely fell by the wayside, which is crazy since I have so much to share.

We've just moved in to a new place in Midtown, Atlanta!! It's in walking distance to the park (Piedmont to be specific), some of our favorite restaurants and my job. Definitely an upgrade (in my opinion) when it comes to style and location, but it's still a 'small space' as Apartment Therapy would say, which, once again in my opinion, makes decorating it extremely fun!

I can't wait to share our new place (I'm calling it the 'Hawks' nest...) on the blog, but for now I'd like to focus on bedrooms since we'll be heading to IKEA today to get a bed.

I really want something that feels relaxed, with wood tones, white and very eclectic and bohemian.

We'll definitely be leaning towards a platform bed because of the low A-Frame ceiling in our room.

I'd be happy to have our room look like any of these! Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow with the bed we've chosen and a board of how we'll be decorating the room.

INSPIRED BY: WILDFOX 'BLUE LAGOON' LOOK BOOK

Brrr!! It's cold, and snowing in Atlanta (what??) so I've been mining the interweb for warm inspiration. I'm officially obsessed with Wildfox's latest lookbook, aptly titled 'The Wildfox Lagoon'. If you've ever seen the movie 'The Blue Lagoon' you know first hand the wanderlust natural flowing hair, sun kissed skin and ship wrecked style can inspire.

This lookbook makes me feel like I would totally be fine being shipwrecked, as long as I had a good hair brush and a flower crown.

WARM WISHES: FESTIVAL STYLE

It's below freezing here in Atlanta, which is pretty much unheard of. But instead of catching the winter blues, all I can do is day dream about the warm weather to come this spring: this amazing spring, that will bring music, fun and trips with friends - you guessed it, it's music festival season! 

It's my favorite time of year, for obvious reasons. I love live music and I love fashion, and everything goes at a festival environment, it's the ultimate place to experiment with clothes and accessories you could never wear anywhere else. So, while I'm indoors warming up under a blanket as I write this post, I'm letting my mind wander to warmer days, and I'm shopping for three distinct festival looks, that fortunately, you can shop below!

MOVING ON UP: KITCHENS

So our lease is up this April and we're finally moving into the city, (ITP as they say in Atlanta). Which will mean being in walking distance to some of our favorite eateries and not having to worry about having 'too much fun' at a concert and having to throw a hundo (that's how the cool kids say one hundred dollars) at Uber. Plus, it's going to help me succeed at resolution numero trés.

One of our 'must haves' on our check list for our next place to call home is an updated kitchen with character. I've collected some inspiration photos of those kitchens on my 'kitchen' Pinterest board and thought I'd share my favorites for all to see.

See what I mean? Great character, great appliances, a great mixture of modern with natural wood that gives it a timeless feel. Hopefully, we can find kitchens similar to these on our quest to find our next home!

DYING FOR: GRAY PULLOVER-OVER PLAID

I'm sure this has happened to all of us before. You're scrolling through Pinterest, minding your own business when BAM, the perfect outfit appears. Something that takes your breath away, and just like that your mind is wandering off to the concert you'll wear it to, and how you'll accessorize and how amazing it's going to look in pictures. 

Then. Something horrible happens. You click on the link to find that said item is sold out. Your heart breaks into a million pieces, your dreams lay in shambles at your feet. But wait... ingenuity arrives. 

You're not the type to sit around crying over spilled milk or devastated over the ghost of fashion desires past. No sir. You've got the power of H&M, and with it you find an outfit not only mirroring the one you wanted but with more bang for your buck. Because, you, you are a true fashionista one that doesn't believe in the binds of 'sold-out' or 'out-of-stock'. You are the creator of your destiny. 

Long live fashion ingenuity. 

Long live you.
