Wardrobe Wednesday

I came across this navy blue suede bootie and it's one of those things imusthaveimmediately so, naturally, I wanted to share it with you! It comes in other colors, but the blue is so cool.

Sole Society Tallie Suede Tassel Bootie

Another bootie I really like is the steel grey Splendid Lakota Bootie. It also comes in a unique cranberry or brown.

I'm also a fan of the perforated shoe, especially this Sole Society Sidney Bootie in fennel.

Of course, I still recommend my Franco Sarto Linden and the Louise et Cie Vernonia Open Toe booties I bought during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.

If you want to wear booties, but have trouble figuring out how to pull off the look well, Babble has a great article with photos of 10 ways to year your ankle boots this fall.

Are you a fan of booties? What's your favorite way to wear them?

Fabulous inspiration from Danish OYOY

I'm so excited to share the loveliest interior inspiration from Danish homeware company OYOY with you today. The lifestyle images were snapped for OYOY's Autumn Winter 2014 collection which now includes OYOY Mini (cue: the world's cutest cushions and blankets for children). OYOY are known for their fabulous imagery (see this and this post from previous years) and AW14 definitely does not disappoint. I wonder if they'd stop by and style my home for me?!

Anything that caught your eye?

My friend has hoops in their sitting room like the ones in the image above. I'm all for indoor playground equipment (see this, this and this home for inspiration), but I haven't quite found the right place for it in my own home - how about you? But there's always space for a cute wigwam and polar bear cushion...

Have a lovely day!

DIY Wooden Box Makeover with Duct Tape

Last week, I showed you a project where I painted a wooden box with a geometric pattern. But, before I painted that large box, I made over two smaller wooden boxes with duct tape (Duck Tape brand). The bright, shiny colors of the tape appealed to me and they come in lots of different patterns now. I went with a bold red and hot pink combo for the first one.

To achieve this look, just wrap the tape around the box and the lid, pressing as you go to ensure no air bubbles. The lid on the smallest box was the perfect size for two small pieces of the hot pink tape to fit perfectly without overlapping. And the red tape fit the box perfectly with just one wrap around. I think I wrapped twice so the color really pops.

To, remove the excess red tape, I used a cutting tool. Be careful!

For the medium sized box, I wrapped the pretty aqua tape around and painted the lid with craft paint. To make the lid shiny, I sprayed it with Clear Coat Enamel. I was going to leave the middle part exposed for a natural look, but then I felt it looked too unfinished.

I found a piece of washi tape in the perfect size for no overlap, then wrapped it twice (layering the pattern in the same place) so the color would stand out. Of course, I had to unscrew the lock and then add it back on.

On the inside, I lined the box with decorative scrapbook paper, and adhered the paper to the box with adhesive spray. I just measured the sizes I needed and cut it with a paper cutter for super straight lines.

I tried to line up the chevron pattern too.

Easy, fun, quick projects that brighten up this already colorful bookcase in my office.

I bought a wooden kleenex box to play with next. ;) This tape project reminds me of the tray I made with a shoebox lid and snakeskin tape!

I'll be back tomorrow with a $100 GIVEAWAY to one of my favorite decor stores, HomeGoods!

A serene home in neutrals and dusty hues.

Hello! I hope you've had a great start to the week?! Today I'm inspired by a home decorated in neutrals, muted pastels, grey and white. The use of soft textiles throughout also work to create a relaxed. homely feel. It's actually a fairly small space (53 metres square) but the owners /designers have made clever use of every inch. What a lovely home!
