FASHION

Everyone has it, unfortunately some have too much and some don’t have enough. If yours is curly you want straight and if you have straight you want curly….what am I talking about….HAIR of course! There are so many different things you can do with hair; braids or ponies, short or long and everything in between.

This season there seems to be a huge range of styles that are in, from centre parts to loose waves to the “wet look” which I simply don’t understand how that is a look???. I am happy to say however that fringe is still in. Whether you go side swept or opt for a full fringe there are many different fringe styles for all face shapes. Check out some of my favorite hairstyles with fringe.

Seeing some of these just might make you get the itch, to book an appointment with you stylist and revamp your look in time for spring.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that on the spring 2012 runways pastels were the hot items for the season. I simply just love this! By mixing and matching pastels with neutrals like brown, black, tan and cream you can start wearing this trend now. Interior design usually tends to mimic clothing design so I have put together some interiors done in pastels to get your imagination flowing. I know I have been truly inspired and I will be incorporating this into my home ASAP!

And for those of you looking for clothing inspiration I have added a few finds that I simply love! I couldn’t choose between the two shoes, so I added them both 🙂 Oh and I wish my bedroom looked like the image below and had that closet too – someday…! 

Through my many travels…on the web that is 🙂 I came upon this absolutely GORGEOUS Mini Victorian Cottage. This little “cottage” is only 9’x10′, was previously a hunting cabin, and is hidding inside a spectacular getaway retreat!

This little jewel has a sitting room, dining area and a lovely bedroom loft. There is no kitchen or bathroom, but who needs that when you have all that beauty to look at. The owner used vintage columns, flooring, and windows to complete the look and did all the carpentry herself. Most of the stunning pieces in her cottage (like the chandelier and mirror) were flea market and garage sale finds. And to top it all off the only way to gain access to the cottage is across rocks strategically placed across a running stream.
Now after seeing this I don’t want to hear anyone say that their home is too small to pull off an exceptional look. If this can be achieved in an area as small as 9’x10′, anything can be accomplished if you put your time, energy and passion into it. If I am ever lucky enough to have a little girl in my future I would love to be able to create her a little cottage like the one seen here. I know when I was a child I would have given my arm and leg for a play house like that! Heck, what am I talking about, I would STILL give my arm and leg for a little getaway like that 🙂 Simply Stunning!
