Organization!

Today, my main focus is organization. I have been putting off organizing the closet in my kitchen for quite some time. It is truly the "catch all" closet. To start the day, I'm going to head to Goodwill and unload a few things. I love to thrift, so of course I will have to stop in and scope out any treasures!  Who knows, maybe I can find a couple of cute baskets or organizers to put in the closet! I found some inspiring photos of great organized cupboards and closets. Here are a few...


                                                                 I love these labels!

Beach Chic

There is something so soothing about the ocean. The calming blue water, and the feeling of sand beneath your feet.  Like the ocean, your home should put your mind at ease. To create a beach chic room, there are a few key items you will need to bring it all together.

1. Beach Art

2. Starfish

       Most craft stores, like Hobby Lobby or Michaels should carry starfish or seashells.

     Purchase a couple of white frames, and construction paper to display your starfish as art!


                                                               Maryland Pink and Green

                                          Rest a starfish on top or against a stack of books.


3. Color Palette


                                                                       Docked Tones

                                                                          Shelled Tones

4. White
                               

                          White paint and furniture keeps the room light and airy and emits a nautical feel.


5. Wicker and rustic pieces

                    Adding in wicker chairs, or a rustic table gives off a more natural beach setting.

Singin' In the Rain

      Rain and overcast can make it hard to feel motivated to dress your best. Most women would prefer sweats over a fashionable outfit on rainy days, but it is time to leave the sweats behind! Brighten up your day with colorful rainy day accessories!


                I love the scalloped edge around the hood and bottom of this jacket! It is so cute! This jacket is also available in ivory, blue and neon pink.

To the Max

There are so many different styles of dresses this season, but my favorite is the maxi dress. It is comfortable, yet fashionable. The long vertical lines of the dress are flattering on all body types, giving you a leaner look.What woman wouldn't want that? With a variety of colors and patterns to choose from, you are bound to find the right maxi for you. Accessorize by adding a belt or a bold necklace!
