On my devine lazy sunday wish list are these slumber poufs, designed by polish designer Aleksandra Gaca. They remind me of an upgraded, design savvy, and much more comfortable version of bean bags. They are made from highly flexible 3 dimensional fabric which allows it to form around your body and needless to say super comfy!

IN HOME: NEON ACCENTS
I love minimalism inside homes where decor is stripped to the fundamentals of a room. Similar to negative space in art & design, it really builds emphasis on particular details. I particularly like pops of color in minimalist interiors, it gives it a nice element of spontaneity and keeps it from seeming under decorated.
ETSY PICKS
Etsy’s infinite pick of handmade items & vintage goods can keep me occupied all night. Here’s a few of my fun finds from tonight, but it’s time for some beauty sleep. Good night and see you tomorrow!
Clock, necklace, bins, typewriter, clutch, bracelet, iphone case, print, pillow

DIY: SEWING TUTORIALS
Pillow pattern & storage bucket tutorial shared by b.a.h. magazine makes me want to pull out my dusty sewing machine to create these simple & practical projects. Time spent on a project that promotes rest or organization is time well spent in my book!
SUNDAY FUNDAY: COCKTAIL HOUR
It’s Sunday Funday and what’s funner than cocktail parties? Great friends make great parties, make invites personal with these DIY Invites, and spice up cocktails by mixing up a vanilla pear cocktail. Let your little black dress rest and pull out that brightly hued dress. Its the little things that add character to a setting such as these fun agate coasters & frilly confetti banners. Last but not least have fun =)
RETRO MODERN
So they DO still make them like they used to! I’m really drawn to the color palettes and silhouettes of 70′s interiors. Their bold patterns found in kitchenware as well as wallpaper. What’s not to love?

OH HAPPY DAYS
I love Scott Albrecht’s work, not only is it eye candy for your home but mood boosting as well! I’m a quotation junkie so his art is the perfect everyday reminder that I need to hear.
They say happiness is accessed through your subconscious, so surrounding yourself with positive thoughts, happy tunes & happy people taps into your subconscious resulting in mental awareness of being happy. I always wondered why people always said “Fake it til you make it” but it relates to practicing act how you want to feel b/c behavior helps shape the mind. “I use this strategy on myself. If I feel shy, I act friendly. If I feel irritated, I act lovingly. This is much harder to do than it sounds, but it’s uncannily effective.” -Gretchen Rubin Author of The Happiness Project
DIY: DEER ANTLERS
Happy Halloween =) Celebrated over the weekend & had a blast with friends. Unfortunately the venue wouldn’t let me wear my antlers in due to “safety precautions” Oh well it was fun to make and surely I can find another occasion to wear these out!
Choose your antlers wisely, keep in mind the bigger ones are quite heavy and will feel like balancing books on your head. Use fake fur/fabric to wrap around base of antlers and to make ears. Wider headbands hold more weight and combs help for support. Lastly, glue some flowers to alligator clips, using both clips along with straps help stabilize your headpiece.
