Stella & Dot Favorites!

Spring is finally here! These pretty days and warm temps are quite refreshing. They make me want to shop for a new wardrobe of colorful shorts, cotton tops and of course jewelry! I'm on a "no clothes shopping" stint right now, though. If you saw my closet, you'd understand why. I've decided to remix my wardrobe and use what I have instead of buying new and only wearing previously purchased items a handful of times.

One way for me to easily remix and redress outfits is with accessories, specifically jewelry! Good jewelry buys last a long time, especially if they're well made and I don't mind justifying a purchase here or there :) Enter Stella & Dot. I've purchased a handful of their products before and still wear and love them all. Here are a few of my current faves for spring!

1. I have this Starstruck Ring, and it's a great fun piece to throw on with any outfit...and currently on sale for $29.50!
2. Because everyone needs a little turquoise in their spring/summer attire, the Rory is perfect.
3. This is another staple of mine. The Rebel Pendant can be thrown on with a casual t-shirt or a dressy silk blouse. One of my go-to's when rushing out the door.
4. I love this Eden bangle for stacking with other bracelets or just with my watch. The little bling is a nice added touch :)
5. A Stella & Dot best seller, and I know why. These earrings get me compliments every time I wear them! They have multiple colors, but I love the green.
6. These studs are perfect for an everyday staple. Simple enough for every outfit but big enough to say "Hey! Don't forget about me!" These are also offered in multiple colors, but the peach is just right for spring if you ask me.
7. The Soho charms and gold necklace make a sweet and simple layering piece. I think I need one of these with my sweet girl's initial :)
8. The Elodie. Oh man, the Elodie. This necklace is even 10x prettier in person and has every color of spring! So gorg.

If you want any of these pretties, shop for them here!

Canopy Stripes

As I mentioned in a previous post, black and white canopy striped fabric is one of my current obsessions. It's classic, clean and oh so elegant. Not to mention that it can make a bold statement in a room without being too flashy. I normally favor a very neutral color palette with accents of greens and robin's egg blues, and this pattern could be put in any such setting and be beautiful. Here a few of my favorite examples: Is this room spectacular or what? It's modern, classic and sophisticated! There is a large amount of stripes in this room, yet it's not overbearing. And the symmetry and clean lines displayed throughout give the room great balance. I could just plop this room right into my house! This is another example (as shown in a previous entry). If you don't have the money to invest in a rug, buy a few pillows and get the same look in your room for a fraction of the price. Whoever said black and brown don't go together was seriously mistaken. Lo

Table Decorating Contest

Jon and I are leaving to spend a long weekend in San Antonio with his parents and his brother (who will be town from Arizona). But before we go, I wanted to leave you with some pictures from the Officer Spouses Club Table Decorating Contest that was held last night. I called Jon on my way home from base, and he immediately asked "How was the contest?" to which I responded "Victorious." The 32nd FTS, our squadron, took first place! The theme was Silver Screen so we decided to focus on famous quotes from each movie genre. Each place setting featured a different movie. We had a "drive-in" for our center piece where clips of the famous quotes were shown. Welcome to the Jayhawk Drive-In! Wizard of Oz place setting. The glass had a button you could turn on to make the water swirl and look like a tornado inside. Also notice the witch's feet sticking out from under the plate :) A close-up of the yellow brick road I painted. Silence of the Lambs pl

Guest Room Before and After-Healing Aloe

Here is a shot of the room in all of its coral glory. Great for a teenager, not for a soothing guest room. And here is the Healing Aloe after. Healing Aloe is a color by Benjamin Moore. It was hard to get a good shot of the true color, but it is more of a seafoam than gray. Aside from painting the walls and buying a new white quilt for the bed, everything else in the space we already had--most of which are hand-me-downs (bed and dresser) or thrift store finds (lamp and side table). It will all be sufficient for now, and hopefully a space that our guests will love. I'm very happy with the outcome and the progress of one more room in the house coming closer to completion. One down, three to go (at least in the painting department!)
