Una casa llena de carácter y encanto / A house full of character and charm


Y casi sin darnos cuenta empezamos una nueva semana, con una encantadora casa típica de Brujas  
restaurada en el 2013, en ella se combina el carácter y el encanto original 
 con todos los detalles y comodidad de la vida moderna

Weekend Steals & Deals


Happy Superbowl weekend!  Do y'all have any plans?  We usually do a Superbowl party but are skipping it this year.  We have a school event on Saturday and a birthday party on Sunday, so it just felt too packed to try to fit it in.  Also, my little guy is turning 5 soon, so I'm planning his 'super cool Power Rangers' party.  You gotta love it when your little brother agrees to dress up as a Power Ranger for the party!  ;)  At home, I need to get it in gear and finish up my organizing projects.  I'm 5 down and 5 to go.  I'm planning to tackle a couple more over the weekend, but first, let's talk fashion and this week's Weekend Steals & Deals!





I'm so excited to see my Pleione Mixed Media Tunic go on sale!  It's marked down 40%, which is a great deal because this is one of those shirts I was happy to buy at full price because I love it so much.  












Pleione Mixed Media Tunic $34.80, $58 (regular & petite) 







yellow | light blue $34.80, $58 (regular & petite) These colors are gorgeous! 





Houston weather is so crazy, one minute we're in sweaters and booties, the next we're in tanks and open-toe heels.  I hear we're back to cold again in the morning, so this tank will have to be put away or layered under a jacket for now.  But, it is sure to be a spring/summer staple!










Lace Trim Tank $38 (also in white or olive).  These are my new favorite jeans I was telling you about recently and I cuffed the ankle for this springy look with my old Michael Kors heels.  







leopard scarf | reversible vegan tote (other colors too) I shared this tote with y'all last week (it's the one my parents bought me for Christmas) and it was temporarily unavailable in my color combo, but appears to be restocked now. 











reversible pendant necklace | ring (old, similar) | nails (pink smoothie shellac) 





As for tanks, I'm super obsessed with these two floral numbers.  I live in these type of tanks in our humid summers! I just got the one on the left and the Small fit perfectly. 




rose ($34) | grey ($34)





These easy to wear tank dresses are on sale at a great price. 










Who doesn't love a wrap dress?!  So flattering and great for day to night.  $78 (also in black)















MOD.lusive by Bobeau Ruched Sleeve Long Cardigan $25.20 $42 (385 positive reviews)


I shop my own posts and just bought one of these in "green waterfall", but they also have other colors. I got XS, so we'll see how it fits.  A lot of the reviewers said they loved the 3/4 sleeve length and had this cardigan in multiple colors.  Great deal right now at 40% off and still lots of colors and sizes available.





I'm not surprised that people love the cardigan, since it's by the same company that makes these cozy wrap sweaters $39.90, $58.









Was browsing through the lightweight scarf selection and found so many good ones at great prices!  







1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15
















My comfy Zella "Move" pants are 40% off too (some of you asked and I'm wearing size 2) and they also come in capri





Have a great weekend!

A serene Norwegian space in monochrome and nudes

It's the weekend - woooop! But before we all shoot off, let's head to Norway for today's home tour. This space belongs to Nina Holst of Stylizimo blog. Nina moved home last year and since her previous home was so fab and included this famous walk-in-wardrobe, I've been eagerly awaiting to see what she was going to do with the new pad. And it certainly doesn't disappoint! Nina has stuck to her signature black, white and nude colour scheme and played with the beautiful light. All the shots of this serene, minimalist home have been taken by Nina, and she's also a talented artist (this is her latest painting), stylist (love this office) and store owner. Are there no end to this busy girls talents?









Homeowner & Photography: Nina Holst

What a serene space - oh how I'd love to be sitting in the egg lounge chair looking out over the snow covered hills right now, how about you?!

So many pieces I know and love including: the wishbone chairs, Norm 69 pendant light and white Panthella floor lamp, AJ desk and floor AJ floor lamp, DLM table, white desk lamp, Design House Stockholm Björk rug in bedroom, Tom Dixon etch tea light holder, By Lassen kubus candle holder and vase with brass neck from H&M (sadly sold out - trust me I've been looking everywhere!).

Is there anything that stands out to you?

If you like this colous scheme you'll also love this  kitchen, office space and home tour in the same monochrome and nude. Definitely my colours of the moment!

Any plans for the weekend? I think I'm going to sleep (I feel soooo tired!) but I'm also planning for a VIP visit from my ma and pa from London next week - sooo excited!

Before I shoot off - I'd like to to introduce you to a returning sponsor - oh so lovely handmade jewellery shop Studio Cosette. Safe to say, I pretty much love every piece Fai makes. But if I had to choose just two pieces I'd go for these earrings and the halo necklace (this is not a hint...honest!).

Have a great weekend and see you Monday!

Más felices y más relajados / Happier and more relaxed


El estilo de vida que llevamos sobre todo en las grandes ciudades nos impide disfrutar todo lo que quisiéramos 
de la luz del sol gran parte del tiempo, están comprobados los efectos positivos de la luz natural en 
nuestro reloj biológico y en nuestra salud : mejora el bienestar  es un antidepresivo,  reduce la 
irritabilidad y puede hacer que nos sintamos más felices y más relajados

¿A quién más le encantaría  relajarse aquí ahora mismo!?
