WEST ELM + LULU FROST = Jeweled Accessories for the Home

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.  I was hit with a bad cold/cough that left me, pretty much out of commission most of the weekend.  Feeling much better today.

I was beyond excited to see West Elm's recent collaboration with jewelry brand, Lulu Frost.  What a genius idea to combine jeweled pieces to home accessories.  I'm sure women all over are loving this as much as I am! We love to accessorize our wardrobe with costume jewelry and carrying this in our home decor is something I need to include.

West Elm features jewelry boxes, storage boxes and trays.  The availability one some of the items are not until mid April, which is not too far away.  I suggest ordering now, so you don't miss out.

Here are the featured items:

The first is the Lulu Frost Jewelry Case.  This antique-modern piece in white lacquer, brass metal details and crystal accents would compliment any dresser, table or closet.

Next is the Lulu Frost Clutch.  This storage box, set in solid brass with inlaid crystal panel detail does resemble a fashionable clutch.  I love the two tone color and overall look. Very glamorous.

Next is the Lulu Frost Box - Gray/White.  This gray/white lacquered box has a beautiful and stylish crystal accent.  This box isn't restricted to just jewelry pieces.  I would display this beauty in my different rooms of my home.

The last pieces from the collection are the Lulu Frost Trays.  Your choice of small or large rectangle trays in gray, gold, or white.  West Elm described them as "tray chic".  I agree!

Any favorites?  I'm loving both the boxes.

Happy shopping!

NEW ITEMS FROM WEST ELM: My Favorites

Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.  Woke up Saturday morning with a winter wonderland outside. And, more on the way.  We are preparing for a blizzard starting this afternoon through the evening with two feet of snow! For those on the eastcoast, be careful and safe journey getting home.

Switching things up on this Monday to share with you some of my favorite new items from West Elm.  Even though I dislike the winter season, this time of year is my favorite to see stores advertise their new inventory of Spring items.

I love the Spring season with the crisp smell in the air, the greenery making its appearance and bringing new life to the outside.  It's the best time and it certainly puts me in a better mood.  It's a chance to lighten and brighten your decor on the inside.

Take a look at some of my favorites:

Terrace Tower

Brass is making a strong comeback and what's nicer than Terrace Tower; finished in antique brass with glass tiered shelf.  In would make such a nice addition to my any space.  Room makeover anyone? 

Amy Merrick Vases

Loving the shapes and colors of the these vases by florist designer and stylist, Amy Merrick.

Faceted Glass Vases

The jeweled tones of these Faceted glass vases are so pretty and vibrant.  Like pieces of jewels for your flower bud arrangements.  These would look so pretty by your bedside table, on your makeup table or office table.

Belgain Linen Duvet Cover and Shams

Linen is the perfect fabric for warmer days.  This Belgian linen duvet cover and shams is the perfect shade of pink (described as pink champagne) that even the male in your life would appreciate; especially those that can pull of wearing a pink shirt or tie.

Decorated Hobstar Glassware

These antique inspired Hobstar Glassware come in a several soft colors (only smoke black and clear available at this time).  I purchased similar ones from Crate and Barrel last year in a pink shade.  I like the softer shades in this line.

Kisanii Pillow Cover - Black/Natural

This Kisanii pillow is truly a piece of art, but displayed on your sofa, chair or bed.

Alphabet Pillow Covers

Monogram is popular and has been a classic staple for many years.  For a younger, more modern look, use your initials from these Alphabet pillow covers.

Mistari Pillow Cover - Black/Natural

How about pairing it with this classic Mistari stripe pillow cover?

MY CHRISTMAS TABLESCAPE FOR 2013

  

 

Happy Monday BFs (blogger friends).  What a busy weekend!! 

 

I'm finally able to sit down and share with you my Christmas tablescape.  This year, I created a soft, simple color scheme: rose gold, creams, greens with accent touches of blue/green.  The jumping off for my color scheme was a tablecloth I purchased from Wisteria last year (on sale).  I knew I had to create a look with this beautiful tablecloth.  The second inspiration was a snowflake tie-on I purchased at The Container Store, along with wired ribbon.  And, I found the perfect ornament plates from HomeGoods!  I pulled these looks together, along with some old decorations used in previous table designs.  Adding baby's breath flowers around the garland with white lights, completed this Christmas table setting.

 

 

Ikat napkins from West Elm (sold out); rose gold flatware (West Elm); ribbon, The Container Store; ornament plates from HomeGoods

 

Majestic Reindeer (sitting) in gold (currently sold out in gold) but others on sale at Z Gallerie

Majestic Reindeer in gold from Z Gallerie (currently sold out); snowflake ornament from The Container Store

 

Added gold letter stickers to plain candle holders and added faux snow

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays . . .
