Glittery and sweet

It is the weekend! At last! I will be going out with friends to the Boston area for some fun. Right now I like the shiny and glittery trend, nail polish, shoes and clothes. And as it gets colder I been using vanilla and maple smelling candles. Yum!

Lovely decor





I love being creative and making handmade things. I already make jewelry and my own cards, using stamps, tiny bottons and beads. Its fun to have a hobby or two for a rainy day (or days! ). Its nice when you can use your DIY skills to decorate, like using pretty cutouts and paper items with this mirror I featured.
A loft would make a cute space for a cozy bedroom. I adore the pic I got from Lobster and Swan. For a striking look to a dinning room, I love exotic paint colors such as teal, berry, and deep purple. Always a dramatic and chic look!

Weekly loves

It has been a rainy start to my weekend. When I can I try to stay in, so I can snuggle with my boyfriend and my cat.I love decorating with roses right now, they are so romantic and have a vintage look. I also been looking over pretty cake ideas to make in the future. And with all this rain and chill, I am glad I got tea and yummy desserts :)
