herringbone

I'm just going to say it - 

herringbone 

is the new chevron

UO - Rug

KFD Designs - wall stencil

It's deliciously more unique than chevron. It's choppy, flexible in imagination, and more geometric! I plan on adding some scattered herringbone pattern into our freshly painted guest bedroom and I can't wait to see how fun the new walls will look!

Pantone - color of the year

Thank goodness they've picked something a little more flattering than the bright orange two years ago and 2013 emerald is cool, but kinda boring, amiright?!!

Color of the year: Radiant Orchid

I could really appreciate a few shirts in this color... a hue that goes well with brunettes and blondes alike; also very nicely pairs with all skin tones.

Unfortunately my house is evolving into the blue, green, grey color scheme - so I don't see much use of radiant orchid as a rug or throw. 

How are you going to use Pantone's new color of the year in 2014?

Pinterest is already jumping onboard, and it's delicious!

Pittsburgh Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party!

My Sister and Mom (with the help of my bridesmaids) hosted a lovely and adorable Bridal Shower for me last weekend (7/16) 


Country themed decor, eats, and surprises!

And instead of those awkward bridal shower games.... they hired a line dancing instructor!!

Gifts and Cards (thank you!)

For our night out we hit up the Marvelous Wonderettes at the Pittsburgh Cabaret (highly recommended - so funny!)
and then settled down to live music and countless martinis at Oliver Twist!!!
