Runway to Home - Camouflage Hits the Streets and Sheets

 

Modern Kids by Mill Valley Interior Designer Jute Interior Design

Hey Peeps, sorry to be so MIA but I've been buried way deep into some project installations.
Anywho, I'm sure y'all have seen camouflage gear everywhere this Spring and trust me, it'll be everywhere this summer. Yep, in fact, I just bought me  some camo flats to rock during this scorching Miami weather.

But did you know it's seeped into home decor? Say what? Sure has. Follow me over to Houzz where I'm dishing about that trend this week. Don't forget to post a comment, or two.

Yessirr, We Have Us Some Winners....

Happy Monday peeps. So bummed that we didn't win that $600 million powerball, but hooray for the lucky people who won our anniversary giveaways of these fab items:

Congrats to Donna Raye who won the Martini Side Table from West Elm Village at Gulfstream and Mary Beth Hamilton of My Morning Coffee who will be rocking a GlamourMash necklace this summer. 
Thanks to all of you who cast over 400 entries. Y'all were serious! Apologies to all of you who sent me side messages begging me to rig the votes - this aint no Scandal around here! I love ya, but I had to leave it in the hands of the good people at random.org.
Thanks too for all the birthday wishes. Truly a blessing to be in good health to be able to live each day to the fullest. Cheers to a great week.
   

Go Girl, It's Your Birthday!

Age is a funny thing.....
The older I get, the less concerned I've become with celebrating each birthday with a big bang of a celebration.
I've learned to savor the moment, to dance in the wind if you will, to just revel in the awesomeness of being alive to see another year.
In truth, I'm just happy as punch to be in good health, to be a new mommy, a relatively new wife, and to have lived long enough to learn how to surround myself with true friends.
This year I'll gather a group of those close friends for a dinner celebration to toast to those simple things.

Happy birthday too to all my Taurus peeps. You guys rock.

Feeling Blue. In a Good Way.....

 

Modern Home Office by New York Interior Designer Carolyn Miller Interiors

It's Tuesday, so what's there to be blue about? A lot. But in a good way.

I've been obsessed with royal blue in recent weeks and I have two clients to blame.
I purchased two of these amazing blue chairs from West Elm last night for this project and I now can't seem to get the rich textures of this color out of my head. It brings instant glamour to a room, especially when layered with black, white and gold. It can also just scream fun, that you're a bad-ass who could care less about living on the wild side in your design choices. Come see what I mean:

Don't you just feel the blue love? If you don't, I'll forgive you, but tell me what color combos have you drooling these days.

So grateful everyday for my mother's love, words of encouragement and her fighting spirit. Grateful even more that I've been blessed to become a mom to a little boy that makes my heart sing every second of every day. Happy Mother's day to all who have been blessed with the gift of caring and nurturing a little soul.

Our Anniversary Giveaway! Woot Woot!

Funny how time flies when you're having fun.
We started this blogging journey a little over a year ago and had no clue what we were doing. Along the way, we've made some great friends, redesigned the blog, learned that word verification was the killer of all comments, and countless other blogging rules of engagement. 
To celebrate our one year adventure we gotta have a giveaway of course no?
And in true Miami fashion, it's gotta be loud, it's gotta be the mother of all giveaways, with not one one, but two freaking prizes for two freaking winners.
Hold on to your hats people, hold on.
First up, our friends at our local West Elm (Village At Gulfstream) have offered up one of these swanky Martini side tables. Yep, you get to sip martini on one of these bad boys. I've used these in a project, or three, and they are hella cool.



Then Miss Holly over at GlamourMash was also generous enough to donate a necklace from her awesome collection. I purchased the Nicole necklace recently and can't wait to rock it out this summer. The winner can have the necklace of their choice.

That's it. Two awesome prizes. Two winners. You know the rules.
You must follow us on Google Friend Connect (GFC) and Bloglovin.
Bonus points for following us on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.
Follow West Elm and GlamourMash.
That's a whole lot a following right? But what's a little follow love for these goodies? Our giveaway ends next Friday, May 17 -  on my very own "21st" birthday. Winners will be announced on Monday, May 20. Good luck Peeps! Now go on and win them prizes!
