I have a very vivacious, dramatic and equally adorable almost two year old little girl.  Every day this little person challenges me in more ways than I ever thought possible but with each challenge and frustrating situation I can’t help but laugh at her or squeeze her tight for being so cute. Because of her larger than life personality I want her room to reflect who she is as a person at this point in her life and I am having a bit of difficulty finding decor to fit.

We recently put Luna in her “big girl” bed (post coming soon) and I have been on the hunt for wall art to complete her room.  I love the idea of having a quote print framed that fits her little personality.  I began my search on Pintrest b/c in the past I have seen these quote prints 100s of times but now that I am really looking for one I cannot find what I am looking for. So then I start to think that I may have created what I want in my mind and it doesn’t actually exist, which is a huge problem.

I don’t think that my criteria are that hard to meet but let’s see what you think.

1. Color Scheme – I would love something that is vintage-y colored to match her rustic white furniture.  So muted tones of white/beige, turquoise, coral and yellow would be preferable.  Something like the color schemes of the photos in this post.

2.  Font/Style – I want something that looks “designed” not something that looks like I typed it up in Word, slapped in on a solid background and called it a day.  I love fonts, shadows, effects that only a designer can do.

3.  Quote – Here is the tough part, finding a quote that matches her personality, that is not overly childish and that comes in the colors/fonts/styles that I want from above.  The main problem is that I can find items in the color/style I want but the quotes don’t fit.  Here are my top picks for quotes:

“I’m just trying to change the world one sequin at a time.” -Lady Gaga

“You have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way.”  -Lady Gaga

“Don’t you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are.”  -Lady Gaga

“I’ve always been famous, it’s just no one knew it yet.” -Lady Gaga

“Some girls were just born with glitter in their veins.” -Paris Hilton

“Well behaved women rarely make history” -Marilyn Monroe

“I always thought I should be treated like a star.” -Madonna

“Don’t just stand there let’s get to it. Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it.”  -Madonna

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” -Coco Chanel

So what do you guys think…did I make this up? b/c I cannot find what I am looking for anywhere.

Hopefully I can find words to fit my little lady’s huge personality!

Coral is going to be everywhere Spring 2011 from lipsticks to shoes to handbags and more.  What other color screams SPRING more than coral?

A few tips on this awesome but sometimes scary to wear color.

1. Pair it with neutrals – Don’t try pairing it with other brights….you will look like a clown.  It looks great with khaki, white, denim, black any netural really

2.  Choose a Coral that works with your skintone – Some corals or more pink, some or more orange.  Try the different shades of coral and see what words for you.

3.  Try something small first – Maybe its just painting your toes coral, this little bit of color will give you some time to allow yourself to adjust to the color and determine whether its “you” or not with little to no investment.

4.  Have Fun with it – Coral is such a happy, fun color…how can you not have fun while wearing it.

Here are a few of my favorite coral items for spring

Here is a nice list of things that to get you in the mood for the holiday season.

1.  Super cute baby hats – There is nothing cuter than a naked newborn baby in a ridiculous hat.  I have talked about this before in “Cutest Winter Hats for Baby” There are tons of sites out there for these sorts of hats but the best ones come from designers that I have fond on Etsy.  Check out Ellie Bellie Designs.

2.  Holiday Coffee Creamer – I love Chrismas flavored coffee and there are some great creamers out there to make you have the warm toasty feeling of a Starbucks specialty coffee in the comfort of your own home.  My favorite is Coffeemate’s Peppermint Mocha but they also make Gingerbread Latte, Sugar Cookie and Eggnog.  So you are sure to find a creamer that will get you in the holiday mood without breaking the bank.

3.  Little Women – I adore this movie.  Its a classic and it always gets me in the Christmas mood

4.  Something Sparkly – Whether its a Christmas stocking, a cocktail dress or tinsel, sparkles remind me of the holidays.

5.  Super cute wrapping paper – I have a thing with cute wrapping paper and many years I spend way too much on paper and bows that just get torn up and thrown away.  The wrapping on a present is a lot like foreplay sometimes its the best part of the present or the opening of the present.  I say don’t skimp on wrapping paper.  I usually find lots of cute things at Hobby Lobby and I try to wait until its 50% off.  I also really enjoy un traditional wrapping paper it makes for a great conversation starter.

Hope you enjoy your holiday season! What do you like most about the holidays? Let me know in the comments below

I have dreamed of having a little girl for as long as I can remember.  Last February I was blessed to complete my family with a

perfect little girl Luna Jane.  With Christmas quickly approaching I began to realize that my husband, son and my self all have super cute personalized stockings for Christmas and Luna doesn’t.

I bought our stockings a few years ago at Hobby Lobby for a super cheap price and I dressed them up with names monogrammed on the top.  These stockings are a whimsical red and white wavy stripe with a curly white font with the names, Mom, Dad and Bailor at the top.  I love them and they go so great with my decor.

My plan was to find two similar stockings in more girly colors like pink and lime and those would be the girls stockings.  Boy was I disapointed when I realized that I had created these stockings in my head and they were no where to be found.  I began searching etsy.com for a unique stocking for Luna Jane and myself.  After going through over 40 pages of to die for Christmas decor I found a perfect stocking for my little diva.

The price was a little high to purchase two so I decided to keep mine and allow my little girl to stand out…just like she always does.  I purchased a super cute Red & White Dandie Dots Christmas Stocking for Luna.  i thought that the curly ribbon on the top of the stocking was as unique as my sweet girl and reminded me of curly pigtails.

This stocking with monogram and shipping came in at under $30 which I think was a great price for this beautifully handmade peice.

What do you think? Do you think I made a good choice.  Check out all of snazzique’s items.

I have needed a vanity for years. I have so much makeup, hot rollers, straightners etc that my husband is threatening to divorce me if I don’t share the bathroom ( not really but he does get frustrated with all of my beauty paraphenaila) I began searching for vanities online a few weeks ago and I cannot find one thing that will work within my space or fits in with my interior design aesthetic.

I am looking for a dark cherry, very simple small vanity with a stool, not a chair.  Seems like an easy task right? Well, its not.  Every vanity I have found looks like it belongs in an old lady’s house or has Barbie on it.  What is a girl to do?

I started thinking about purchasing a desk and then just hanging a cute mirror on the wall and covering my own stool to match my space but then I think there has got to be a vanity out there for me…

What do you guys think? What should I do? Settle for a vanity out there or make my own out of odds and ends peices?

After a “share” from a friend I am totally obsessed with Anthropologie.com’s merchandise.  I love the vintage, one of a kind look and feel of their pieces. They are on the pricey side but some would be great pieces for fall that you could easily mix with other items in your wardrobe.  Here are my favorites
